Operational Impact
One of the top results that The Medical University of South Carolina has noticed as a result of using Informer is greater data democratization. “We have expanded access in a controlled and secured fashion,” commented Sulkowski. “It was relatively simple to give people access to get the data they needed.” Around 85 users across 35 teams with varying levels of access have gained data independence. The university has about 1,060 Datasets, 350 Ad hoc Queries, 36 Dashboards, and 150 Jobs currently in use. | |
Another benefit for the university is the cleansing and elimination of extra data. “Using Jobs has provided tremendous time savings and has been well received at MUSC,” said Sulkowski. The team has created dozens of sentinel Datasets/Ad hoc Queries to monitor applicant and student data for errors and inconsistencies with scheduled Jobs to keep them refreshed, saving time by replacing manual ad hoc processes. With Informer, the overall efficiency of the team has improved significantly. | |
