welcome
Led by Cabinet-level sponsorship, the Rensselaer Data Warehouse Project responds to President Jackson's vision of centralized information systems and improved decision support throughout the Institute.
The fundamental goal of the Rensselaer Data Warehouse Project is to integrate administrative data into a consistent information resource that supports planning, forecasting, and decision-making processes at Rensselaer.
To achieve this goal, the Data Warehouse Group within the Integrated Administrative Computing Services (IACS) department is serving as the primary implementation team, working with implementation groups that are composed of members of the Rensselaer community.
project framework
(Sep 10-Sep 19, 2001) To ensure a requirements-driven approach to building the Rensselaer data warehouse, DotCIO contracted with DecisionWorks Consulting, Inc. to conduct an Institute-wide business requirements analysis.
During this analysis, 31 interviews occurred with 49 individuals representing a wide variety of portfolios across Rensselaer, as well as a diverse vertical span of the Institute. Interviews focused on the vision, goals, performance plan objectives, and supporting information and analysis requirements of the participants.
The fundamental goals of this effort were to identify data warehouse requirements, facilitate the prioritization of warehouse deliverables, and determine success criteria for the Rensselaer Data Warehouse Project, thus ensuring that we are properly focused before expending resources and making significant investments.

"Rensselaer employs a first-rate information culture and a robust information infrastructure. We must sustain this advantage....We will centralize administrative information systems, while improving distributed decision support throughout the Institute."
