Case Study: Broward County Public Schools achieves real-time, enterprise-wide data sharing and faster analytics with Precisely Connect

Broward County Public Schools - Customer Case Study

Broward County Public Schools, one of the largest U.S. school districts serving over 200,000 students, faced a critical need for real-time, on-demand data sharing across a heterogeneous environment of IBM i systems, Macs, PCs and multiple database formats. To break through platform and database barriers and deliver timely student, attendance and registration data districtwide, Broward turned to Precisely and its Connect (CDC) data integration offering.

Precisely implemented Connect to provide real-time changed data capture and enterprise-wide data sharing across SQL, Db2, Oracle, flat files, SAP and other sources, regardless of OS or hardware. The result: more than 200,000 users gain on-demand access (about 85% on Macs, 15% on PCs), student records and attendance are updated immediately for same-day placement, analytics and ad-hoc queries run faster, data accuracy and decision-making improved, and county agencies can securely access critical information in emergencies.
