Architecture and Tools
Raw data frequently used for analysis from systems across the university is cleaned, transformed, and optimized via dimensional modeling for analytics use. It is then integrated with tools such as Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) and Tableau for governed access.
Data Sets and Dashboards
In collaboration with end users and using agile methodology, we develop OAC and Tableau reports, visualizations, and interactive dashboards. Summit dashboards are used by thousands of users across the University system.
UMass Community of Data Practitioners and Summit Leads
The EDA team collaborates with vendors and volunteers across UMass to host educational and collaborative webinars and events for data practitioners to work and learn together.
Self-Service Support and Training
We strive to enable more individuals to become self-sufficient in developing their own data products, including reports, dashboards, visualizations, machine learning and AI products. Formal training is offered on the two primary development tools (OAC and Tableau). Summit Labs offer informal training where users can get assistance with data, models, reports or dashboards.
