Case Study: Jacksonville University achieves affordable, streamlined reporting with Evisions Argos

Jacksonville University - Customer Case Study

Jacksonville University faced a significant challenge with its fragmented and inefficient reporting environment. The institution relied on multiple systems, including Colleague, Business Objects, and five other legacy tools, which were difficult to maintain and required users to manually rebuild ad hoc reports from scratch each time. This setup was costly due to licensing fees and severely limited access to reporting capabilities across campus, creating a high administrative burden for its small IT team. The university needed a consolidated and affordable solution from a vendor like Evisions to improve data accessibility.

Evisions implemented its Argos Enterprise Reporting Solution to address these challenges. The solution centralized all reporting into a single, dynamic environment featuring real-time dashboards and pre-built DataBlocks. This dramatically reduced the time users spent generating reports and saved the IT department an average of 15 hours per week on maintenance. With an enterprise license from Evisions, Jacksonville University eliminated $37,000 in annual software license costs and expanded reporting access from 5 offices to 16 departments across campus.
