Business Intelligence (BI) Portal

Last updated: October 16, 2024

The feature-packed Business Intelligence (BI) Portal is your one-stop catalog, connecting you to UW’s Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) customizable reports, data dashboards and data cubes.

You can use these off-the-shelf tools to answer the most common questions with data from key subject areas including Student, Finance, HR/Payroll, and Research Administration.

You can also connect to and explore multidimensional data cubes. Unlike a report that displays data across two dimensions, a cube is a powerful data analysis tool that allows users to slice and dice data across multiple dimensions.
