Case Study: Illinois State University achieves faster, scalable student data integration and accelerated ERP migration with Informatica

Illinois State University relies on Informatica to standardize data analytics that enrich students’ experiences and promote academic achievement

Illinois State University, founded in 1857 and the oldest public university in Illinois, serves roughly 20,000 students and emphasizes teacher development. The university needed a single, cohesive view of each student’s journey and an enriched data environment to support analytics and the multi-year LEAPForward initiative to replace its aging student information system, but struggled with slow data access, manual reconciliation, hand-coded integrations, and limited data-team expertise.

Using Informatica PowerCenter and PowerExchange to automate data integration, Illinois State accelerated data conversion and migration for the new ERP, reduced development time and costs, and scaled delivery with fewer FTEs. The result was faster, more agile analytics and higher-volume information solutions, plus easier staffing thanks to a large pool of certified Informatica developers.
