Institutions rely on years of accumulated BusinessObjects (CROA) reports that few people fully understand. This creates real risk when planning migrations to a new reporting tool, onboarding new staff, or strengthening governance. In this session, you’ll see a practical, automated framework for extracting and cataloging the full scope of your BusinessObjects system – every report, query, universe, field, and filter. The result is a clear inventory that transforms your BusinessObjects “black box” into a blueprint you can actually see, analyze, and act on.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of Institutional Research, the ability to pivot from data errors to actionable insights is critical. This session explores how Northwest College is leveraging Artificial Intelligence to streamline the troubleshooting process within key reporting environments, including CROA (BusinessObjects), Ellucian Colleague, and Tableau.
Adam will discuss the Laramie County Community College path to a local data warehouse and their development of a student at risk dashboard using tools and technology already available.
