The EDUCAUSE Annual Conference is where higher education’s brightest minds come together to explore how technology can transform learning, streamline operations, and drive student success. This year, WhereScape is proud to join the conversation in Nashville as we showcase how data automation can help institutions modernize faster, strengthen decision-making, and deliver better outcomes for students and staff alike.

Discover the Power of Data Automation in Higher Education

Visit WhereScape at Booth #116 to see how our automation platform helps colleges and universities:

  • Accelerate digital transformation with metadata-driven automation that reduces manual coding and project timelines by up to 80%.
  • Improve data quality and governance to support analytics, AI, and compliance initiatives.
  • Empower institutional agility by making it easier to adapt to evolving systems, regulations, and student needs.

Whether your team is focused on analytics, IT, or institutional research, WhereScape can help you move from concept to deployment faster—so your data drives results, not roadblocks.

Sandbox to Cyber Lab: Build an Academic Infrastructure for Safe Experiential Cyber Learning
Wednesday, October 29 | 3:15 PM – 4:00 PM CT | Poster Session

Preparing students for cybersecurity careers takes more than classroom instruction—it takes hands-on experience in realistic, secure environments. In this session, our own Patrick O’Halloran, Solutions Architect at WhereScape, joins Bren Triplett, Director of the CIT Academic Program at Colorado Christian University, to explore how academic teams are using tools like Kali Linux, Project Ares, and cloud-based infrastructure to create isolated cyber labs that simulate real-world attack and defense scenarios.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Design scalable, cost-effective lab environments.
  • Integrate experiential learning into existing curricula.
  • Leverage partnerships between academia, industry, and government to enhance cybersecurity readiness.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see how higher education is preparing the next generation of cyber professionals while reinforcing institutional resilience.

Proven Success in Higher Education

WhereScape is trusted by leading universities to simplify data management and accelerate digital transformation.

  • Bucknell University — Migrated to a cloud-based data warehouse with WhereScape RED, achieving faster model development and easier integration with new data sources.
  • Weber State University — Built an Oracle data warehouse in just nine months, improving data consistency and empowering Tableau users with better analytics.
  • Cornell University — Transitioned from legacy tools to automated data integration with WhereScape RED, resulting in quicker refresh cycles, clear documentation, and streamlined development.

These institutions exemplify how automation helps higher ed teams modernize efficiently, reduce manual effort, and deliver trusted insights across campus.

Data Lineage: Why Modern Data Teams Need It More Than Ever

Ask almost any data team where a number came from, and you will usually get one of two answers. Either someone knows immediately, or everyone starts digging through SQL, pipeline logic, wikis, and old messages to reconstruct the story after the fact. That gap is...

SQL Server Integration Services, Without the Slow Build Cycles

For so many SQL Server teams, SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) still sits at the very heart of data movement, transformation and scheduled load processes. Microsoft’s own documentation still defines SSIS as a platform for enterprise-grade data integration and...

Modernizing SQL Server: Without Breaking What Already Works

For a lot of organizations, SQL Server performance is not just a technical concern; it’s a business continuity concern. When reporting runs long, overnight loads miss their windows or the team becomes afraid to touch a fragile stored procedure because nobody even...

Building and Automating SQL Server Data Warehouses: A Practical Guide

Key takeaways: SQL Server warehouses aren't legacy; they're production environments that need faster build processes Manual builds scale poorly: 200 tables can equal 400+ SSIS packages, inconsistent SCD logic across developers Metadata-driven automation can cut...
