"More important, at every stage in our evaluation process Business Objects was ranked number one overall for features, performance, and ease of use. Our first implementation in the area of student administration has validated our selection of Business Objects to provide vital information to users at every level of experience."

Prior to standardizing on Business Objects, only one programmer in the registrar's office was able to generate reports on student data that was stored in a technically cumbersome legacy database. This created an information bottleneck that burdened the registrar's office and made timely reporting difficult. Using Business Objects, administrators with the appropriate security access and departmental approval can independently access and analyze the most current registration information, without needing to funnel report requests through a programmer. Business Objects will also eliminate redundant silos of student data that have developed across the university and provide administrators with a new, comprehensive view of student information.

Case Western Reserve University plans to deploy Business Objects across the organization, including HR and finance. Standardizing on Business Objects will help drive consistent and effective data mining across the core administrative functions of the university.

"All universities are facing mounting pressure to deliver reports that provide sophisticated and accurate analysis quickly and cost-effectively, which has placed a tremendous burden on information infrastructures," said Jay Johnson, vice president of Government at Business Objects. "When fully deployed, Business Objects will reduce this burden for Case Western Reserve University by making it easy to produce reliable, flexible reports. Moreover, administrators will be able to improve operations and reporting in every area of the institution."
