Our vision for a reporting platform started at Summit in San Francisco in 2000. With our senior leadership group unable to easily access quality data for effective decision making, our search for a web-enabled system to support evidence-based decisions began. This presentation looks at Vancouver Community College's Student reporting needs from a business and IT perspective. We will discuss VCC's approach to using the Student ODS 8.1 effectively, producing useful Cognos 8.3 reports. See how our leadership team has benefited as we demo our latest reports. We will take you through the challenges we faced, the successes we achieved, and our plans for the future.
