Swinburne Builds on Intelligence With SAS

Overview

The IT department of Victoria's Swinburne University of Technology is responsible for three main areas: client services, infrastructure, and information systems. The latter involves all the university's software development and support for core systems. It is this area that is the focus of Information System Integration Strategy (ISIS). When ISIS was first set up, the department evaluated what was required for the project and assessed the latest tools on the market to help it build a business intelligence solution. One of the issues the university was facing with data integration was that it wasn't instantaneous. The university went with Oracle for portal integration tools, and for business intelligence software it purchased the SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform.
