Case Study: Stetson University democratizes data-driven decision-making with Microsoft Power BI

Stetson University harnesses Power BI to democratize data-driven decision-making

Stetson University, a large institution in the United States, needed to overcome the challenge of making its overwhelming amount of complex data accessible and actionable for its staff and faculty to drive decision-making. The university turned to Microsoft and its Power BI service to move beyond static reports and inherited intuition.

By implementing Microsoft Power BI, the university democratized data through user-friendly, real-time dashboards. This solution empowered staff to debunk institutional myths, leading to more informed conversations about resources and curricula. The results included the surprising discovery that STEM student retention was higher than the general population and the development of new tools to boost student appreciation and alumni engagement.
