The new solution means there is no longer a licence limit. At the same time, the move to the new portal provides a more robust and secure platform with better options for operations monitoring and further development for future analytics and AI solutions.
Data foundation and data quality in the analysis portal
When leaders and employees can find the same, updated figures in one place, the risk of uncertainties and methodological discussions is reduced. The Analytics Portal thus supports a principle of single source of truth, which is well-documented in public governance.
From a broader perspective, the Analysis portal is therefore not just a technical platform and efficient operation of analytical support, but an organizational infrastructure for shared understanding and more cohesive decisions to promote the university's strategic development.
A robust solution with a focus on data quality
The analysis portal is technically built on well-consolidated data foundations and well-tested and transparent technologies for the creation and presentation of web reports.
It is a deliberate choice that the selected technology is strong in terms of analysis, reproducibility, and documentation, which is crucial when data is used as a basis for management decisions.
SDU's analysis portal was launched on November 1, 2021, and the approximately 200 web reports have more than 60,000 visits annually. SDU Analytics continuously works to improve data quality and performance.
SDU analytics therefore continuously works to simplify and standardize the views – not as a technical exercise, but as a shared professional and managerial concern, where definitions and interpretations are explicit.
