Business Wire
Pitney Bowes Business Insight, the leading global provider of
data quality and location intelligence solutions, today announced
that eScholar LLC, a leader in education data management software,
is leveraging the Sagent® Data Flow™ Solution v6.5 with the
eScholar Complete Data Warehouse® for Postsecondary (CDW-PS). The
integration with the Sagent Data Flow solution allows eScholar to
further facilitate longitudinal reporting and analysis of a wide
range of education data from early childhood through postsecondary
education. By tracking students' academic performance over an
extended period, educators and administrators can view progress and
identify trends, pinpoint success factors and weaknesses, monitor
at-risk students and efficiently allocate instructional and
professional development resources.
The Sagent Data Flow solution enables eScholar to access, merge
and validate student data from multiple, disparate sources before
it enters the data warehouse. eScholar’s CDW-PS is able to
integrate more than 500 postsecondary specific data elements,
including institution and campus attributes, student and staff
demographics, qualifications, student educational background,
courses, course enrollment, degrees earned, financial aid, transfer
information and more. Once the data is integrated, it is used to
drive decision-making and help educators evaluate and improve
educational programs, performance metrics, and comply with No Child
Left Behind (NCLB) requirements. In addition, CDW-PS can be
combined with existing eScholar Complete Data Warehouse® for PK-12
implementation or any other data warehouse to provide a complete
solution for a P-20 Longitudinal Data System.
Education reform has initiated an increase in reporting
requirements, accountability measures and requests for information.
These requests require the full context of data in order to be
actionable. Therefore, it is important that all data collected by a
school district that relates to an individual student’s performance
remains tied to that individual, creating a comprehensive record
that can be tracked throughout their academic career.
“Combining the capabilities of eScholar Complete Data Warehouse®
for Postsecondary product with the powerful data integration
capabilities of the Sagent Data Flow solution, we can now deliver a
data management solution that is easy to use, flexible and scalable
to meet the individual needs of each education agency, institution
or district,” said Stuart Colvin, eScholar fellow. “Educators today
need to track education trends in different programs, evaluate
their impact on students and determine how successful their schools
and teachers are at enabling students to make forward progress in
their education.”
“The educational system has a myriad of different data sets that
need to be dissected and analyzed to make better decisions about
curriculums, areas for improvement and overall student well-being,”
said Scott Arnett, product manager and strategist for Sagent
Data Flow solutions, Pitney Bowes Business Insight. “We are proud
to be working with eScholar to help provide educators with a
complete platform for aggregating student information and tracking
results.”
