Â鶹Æƽâ°æ

Â鶹Æƽâ°æ's data warehouse, EagleData, was created to provide fast and easy access to information in a self-service manner, so users can get reports when they need them. This web-accessible source for university statistics and reports is available only to authorized users inside the Â鶹Æƽâ°æ community. The information presented in EagleData is extracted nightly from the university's operational data in the Colleague system. Data is then placed in an Oracle-based data warehouse for storage and reporting.
