How It Works

Cloud Technology

HelioCampus includes an extensible, high performance data platform using Amazon Web Services.

Key components include:

• Cloud technology that is flexible and scalable to meet an institution’s evolving needs;
• Single-tenant architecture to ensure data security and privacy;
• Cost-effective, high-performance computing;
• Open, extensible environment that allows institutions to leverage existing and future investments.

Data Infrastructure

Centralizing key data from across the institution is the foundation for any institution-wide analytics initiative. Our data infrastructure focuses on building data models that serve as a central source of truth, giving stakeholders the ability to ask and answer the most important questions with ease and efficiency.

Key components include:

• Replication of institutional data from all sources into a Data Lake;
• Organization of data into a Data Warehouse for analytical efficiency, using dimensional modeling;
• Flattening of data into Reporting Models that serve as the foundation for dashboards and predictive models.

Data Visualization

Enable easy access to integrated data through HelioCampus’ pre-built dashboards. Further empower your stakeholders with the ability to create new or modify existing dashboards.

Intuitive data visualization allows you to quickly see the connections between enrollment, student outcomes and spending levels. By simplifying complex data, HelioCampus allows users to explore, mine and identify patterns and trends.

Ongoing Services

Because visualizing, analyzing and translating insights into actions are equally important, HelioCampus also includes ongoing support for your institution’s unique analysis and data science needs.

Our data analysts and data scientists will provide context and commentary to accelerate your ability to glean insights and take action.

Only through a comprehensive approach that combines technology with an investment in data storytelling and data science can an institution ask and answer their most pressing questions.
