Case Study: Carnegie achieves scalable analytics and faster reporting with OpenText Vertica

With best-in-class analytics and reporting, Carnegie empowers educational institutions to dig deeper into their data and shape smarter strategies for engaging and enrolling students

Carnegie, a financial aid optimization team serving higher education institutions, needed a more scalable way to manage huge volumes of enrollment data and replace time-consuming manual reporting. Working with OpenText and Protobi, Carnegie sought to improve analytics, predictive modeling, and client reporting while keeping a lean team.

OpenText, through the Vertica Analytics Platform, powered customized interactive dashboards and fast querying for Carnegie. The result was near-instant response times, the ability to handle data from 10,000 to 100,000 students without performance issues, and a major reduction in effort: one project dropped from 300 hours to 120 hours. OpenText helped Carnegie streamline analytics, serve more clients, and deliver higher-value, high-touch service with the same 14-person team.
