Case Study: Weber State University achieves a comprehensive Oracle data warehouse in nine months with WhereScape RED

Weber State Develops Comprehensive Oracle Data Warehouse in Nine Months Using WhereScape

Weber State University, a public university in Ogden, Utah serving more than 26,000 students, faced a long history of failed data warehouse efforts, fragmented data silos, inconsistent reporting and limited IT staffing. Seeking a turnkey approach that would work with a small team, Weber State selected WhereScape and its WhereScape RED automation platform alongside Oracle and Tableau to centralize data and enable enterprise reporting and analytics.

Using WhereScape RED, two developers delivered an Oracle data warehouse in nine months, building 10 fact tables and supporting dimensions that capture one million student registration records dating back to 2006. WhereScape’s automation improved data consistency, quality and access, satisfied roughly 80% of existing user needs, energized hundreds of Tableau users, and accelerated delivery of additional domains (financial aid and HR)—demonstrating measurable speed and resource efficiency for Weber State.
