North Ryde. First phase launched

Macquarie University launched the first phase of a university-wide reporting and analytics program, Datamart,.which, by Yellowfin's Business Intelligence (BI) solution, delivers self-service data analysis to the university academic and business decision-makers anywhere, anytime, on any device. “Macquarie has a strategic goal - to be one of the top 200 universities in world rankings by 2014, and to be one of the top eight research universities in Australia," said Macquarie’s chief information officer, Marc Bailey. "To get there, we need to understand how we're performing. To achieve that, we need great data. Actually we have the data, but we weren't able to surface it. Now Datamart, with Yellowfin technology underpinning it, provides us capability to expose that data and leverage it."
