Case Study: Tsinghua University achieves campus-wide data sharing and a scalable digital campus with Informatica PowerCenter

Chinese university uses Informatica PowerCenter to build a new database and usher in a new era of data sharing

Tsinghua University, a leading research university in Beijing, needed to break down decades-old data silos to build a “digital campus.” Fragmented legacy systems and an inadequate ETL tool made it difficult to consolidate student, faculty and administrative data, slowing development of unified services and reliable information access.

The university deployed Informatica PowerCenter to standardize extraction, transformation and loading across systems and to create a central database and data‑sharing platform. The solution automated data cleansing and integration, enabled web portals for faculty and students, reduced management and maintenance costs, and delivered a scalable foundation for ongoing digital-campus expansion.
