About Decision Support
Decision Support (DS) is the Business Intelligence Competency Center for the University of Illinois. We are responsible for scoping, designing, and delivering solutions to business problems using a combination of enterprise data warehouse and business intelligence frameworks.
Our team of highly-regarded professionals supports the University at nearly every level by managing the University’s data warehouse, providing
data access, supporting staff
report development, and providing
data education and training. With new technologies, such as
dashboards and OLAP browsers, DS continues to transform raw data into valuable information to guide strategic decision making.
DS is part of the
University Office for Planning and Administration. Beyond the University, DS is a leader in applying business intelligence and data warehousing best practices within an academic environment and we regularly participate in and present at
Higher Education Data Warehousing (HEDW) and
The Data Warehouse Institute (TDWI) events.
We've changed quite a bit since our inception in 2000. Check out where we are headed next in our updated
