The Berkeley Information System Data Warehouse contains data generated from campus administrative and student systems. The Data Warehouse was created to meet a need for a convenient, but powerful system that could empower customers to easily examine and creatively analyze campus data. The Data Warehouse became available for access on March 30, 1995.
Customers can now access and examine campus data from their desktop using ad hoc query tools.
The Data Warehouse contains monthly, quarterly, and fiscal year data from U.C. Berkeley systems that support financial, personnel, and student applications. The Data Warehouse retains five years of June final data to support trend analysis. For example, an inventory system might contain the latest on-hand inventory status. Both operational systems and decision support systems have important roles on the campus. Operational systems are used to run the University and conduct daily business.
