Case Study: Broward County Public Schools achieves real-time data sharing and faster analytics with Vision Solutions' Double-Take Share

Broward County Public Schools, FL - Customer Case Study

Broward County Public Schools, the sixth-largest U.S. district serving about 265,000 students across more than 260 schools, needed real-time, organization-wide access to its data warehouse to support teachers, administrators, students and parents. As the district moved from being data-starved to data-driven, timeliness and platform diversity (IBM System i backend, ~85% Mac and 15% PC users, plus SQL, DB2, Oracle, SAP and flat files) became major hurdles for delivering on-demand analytics and accurate, up-to-the-minute student information.

Vision Solutions’ Double-Take Share provided real-time changed-data capture and cross-platform, cross-database sharing, implemented quickly with Vision Solutions’ help. The solution enabled faster, better analytics and collaborative decision-making for over 200,000 users, sped ad-hoc queries for events and emergencies, improved data accuracy through immediate validation, and simplified sharing across heterogeneous systems—helping place students appropriately and providing timely information to partner agencies in urgent situations.
