Analytics
Tools and Analytics for Decision Support
D2I develops analytical tools, including interactive visualizations and reports, to empower strategic decisions. D2I also provides decision support for university leaders and stakeholders through specialty research analytics, including predictive modeling and forecasting.
Campus Support
Insights Service
D2I manages the insights.utexas.edu service to help the UT community find existing and new reports.
Tableau
D2I manages the campus Tableau Enterprise account including the servers and licenses that enable desktop producers to create and publish visualizations for viewing and interacting with data.
Alation
D2I manages Alation, the campus metadata management tool. Alation is a catalog of data sources and documentation such as glossaries, articles, and policies that support the informed use of data. Users can cross-reference definitions, flag quality issues, and crowdsource knowledge about campus data assets.
Data Hub
The Data Hub
The Data Hub is UT’s foundation for data integration and management.
Legacy Data Services
D2I operates the essential Legacy Data Services until they can be planned, migrated, and tested over several years to the Data Hub via an orderly migration and retirement plan in coordination with business process owners and users.
D2I is also partnering on multiple projects to develop a set of reusable campus services.
Organizational Hierarchy
Universities have complex structures and systems. The org hierarchy service will help accurately crosswalk multiple types of UT data among data sources to enable integrated analytics. This service will be essential for D2I Analytics work and useful to others as well.
Role-Based Access
D2I is working with UT partners to plan for a new campus RBA service that can simplify and enable policy-compliant access to UT reports. This is in the earliest stages of planning.
