What are your needs if
-You are a policy planner in Higher Education?
-You feel the need for a change in Higher Education strategy?
-Your institute needs improvement in performance?
What do you need if you want to base your decisions on information and facts?
The magical word is "Business Intelligence"!
Business Intelligence (BI), sometimes called "Institutional Intelligence" in Higher Education institutions, refers to computer-based techniques used in spotting, digging-out, and analyzing business data.
Business intelligence aims to support better business decision making, and thus can be called a decision support system (DSS). Common functions of business intelligence systems are:
- reporting,
- online analytical processing (OLAP) to explore data and to answer multi-dimensional queries,
- data mining to display clusters and associations in large data sets, predictive analytics to "make predictions" or discover trends.
BI applications often use a data warehouse, which is a dimensional database fed from the Information System of the Business or Institution. In this case, the BI process also includes modules such as data integration, data quality, data warehousing, and master data management.
BI solutions intend to support the experts as well as the top management by offering different analytical tools.
Topics
- Commercial and Open Source BI solutions in European countries (overview)
- Using BI for decision making and policy planning in HE
- Best practice examples for the use and implementation of BI
- Lessons learned / Do's and Don'ts / Beyond the hype: realistic chances and limitations of BI
- Collaboration between institutions, e.g. developing BI solutions,defining key indicators
- Regional and nationwide BI solutions: integrated solutions for HE institutes and for politics and ministeries

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
