Case Study: Oakland University achieves faster Stop Out reporting with Evisions Argos

Oakland University reduces query time by 97% with Evisions

Oakland University, a public doctoral research university, faced a significant challenge with its inefficient process for identifying "stop-out" students. Using a legacy system, its data analysis team relied on slow queries that took over 20 minutes to run, creating bottlenecks for departments that needed this data for student retention and graduation planning. The university partnered with Evisions to overcome these performance and scalability issues.

Evisions implemented its Argos solution to overhaul the reporting process. This led to a 97% reduction in query time, from over 20 minutes to under 30 seconds, saving over 40 minutes per processing cycle. The results freed staff from manual tasks for more strategic analysis and provided faster, more reliable data to support student success initiatives across the university.
