Abstract

Majority of the Higher Learning Institutions are being implemented with information management systems for all the core activities ranging from admission, registration, alumni, graduate and academy operations. The data generated by these integrated information systems are transactional in nature and has been increasing exponentially. However, the use and value of the data has not been fully explored for driving decision-making process. This paper explores the importance of Agile Analytics in Business Intelligence and Data Warehouse development among Higher Learning Institutions. The paper concludes by outlining future directions relating to the development and implementation of an institutional project on data analytics.
