Case Study: University of Tennessee achieves faster, unified analytics with Microsoft Corporation

University of Tennessee builds a foundation for the future with a user-friendly data platform

The University of Tennessee needed a way to unify siloed data across seven campuses and institutes to support better research, reporting, and decision-making. Using Microsoft Corporation products including Office 365, Power BI, and SQL Server 2016, the university set out to build a more connected and user-friendly business intelligence platform.

Microsoft Corporation implemented a consolidated data repository, report verification, and data stewardship process that brought together data from across the university system. The results were significant: data verification time dropped from about 45 minutes to 10 seconds, a 99% reduction, and compliance updates that were once delivered daily could now be shared within 15 minutes.
