• Create curated, reusable datasets for key areas such as enrollment, retention, course success, financial aid and finance.
• Tune SQL Server performance through indexing, partitioning and query optimization.

Data quality, governance and security

• Supply accurate data for state and federal reporting (IPEDS), accreditation and internal dashboards.
