They partnered with vendor Pyramid Analytics to implement its Decision Intelligence Platform.

The Pyramid Analytics solution provided a single platform for data preparation, analytics, and data science, integrating multiple data sources for granular analysis. This enabled descriptive and predictive analytics to identify at-risk students quickly. The results included a foundational system for data-driven decision-making, significantly faster insights for stakeholders, and improved strategies directly contributing to student success rates.
