Work We've Done
Case Study: Bowie State University
Bowie State University (https://www.bowiestate.edu/) is the oldest HBCU in Maryland and part of the University System of Maryland. With an enrollment of over 6,300 students and offering 28 undergraduate, 20 Master’s, and 3 doctoral programs, Bowie State generates and collects a wide variety of student data, from enrollment to retention to graduation and beyond.
Case Study: Rosendin Electric
Rosendin had recently begun migrating from Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE) 11.1.1.7 to OAC and had high expectations for their new system but were finding it difficult to get timely, quality results from it. At Oracle’s suggestion, they reached out to Vlamis and we identified root problems with the way OAC was being implemented. By taking a different approach to the implementation and capitalizing on OAC’s Data Visualization interface, we were able to demonstrate the true value of OAC to them.
Case Study: Sacramento County 311 Connect Analytic Reporting
Sacramento County, centrally located in the state of California, provides a 311 Connect service to help with non-emergency issues for residents in unincorporated parts of the county. The service requests result in mountains of data to report and analyze – including a Monthly Customer Service Report that Sacramento County wanted to redo using Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC).
