Bucknell University

The challenge

A highly ranked liberal arts school located in Pennsylvania, Bucknell University was replacing its core administrative systems with best-of-breed, cloud-based solutions. The university knew it wanted a new data warehouse equally as agile and scalable as its new administrative systems, one that could easily incorporate new data sources and types.

The solution

The university created a new data warehouse in the cloud using Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). It chose WhereScape®RED to automate and speed up development of the cloud data warehouse as well as ongoing changes and enhancements.

The results

• 50% less time required to build, validate and deliver new subject areas in the data warehouse
• Faster development of data models
• Allows development team to focus on business requirements instead of low-level details
