IBM’s Education Industry mission is to deliver education industry-based

solutions and accelerators that leverage IBM’s data integration and

management assets and industry expertise to transform K-12, Higher

Education, and State Department’s of Education institutions into smarter,

more agile institutions which positively impact student learning with

optimized business operations.

We understand your challenges We take advantage of your

current systems We customize a system to

meet your unique requirements Enterprise Portal Data Warehouse Robust Reporting

We build on our previous K-12 experience

We are committed to your success!


IBM Philosophy for Integration of Systems

5

1. Integration of products – current and future

2. Provide advice on selection of products that most meet Brevard’s needs

3. Experienced Education Project Manager

4. Provide Single sign on for applications

5. Consistent interface that will increase use of data for decision making

6. Provide robust analysis capability

7. Provide Brevard the ability to support the designed system


User Interface User interface is most important –

use IBM or an Off-the-Shelf solution?

Should incorporate Single Sign On for applications

Is it a Reporting Portal or Enterprise Portal?

Delivering scorecard, dashboards and other applications through an enterprise portal environment provides a single place for users to interact and interface with the various component solutions and systems they need to be successful.

Reporting and Analysis – Right Data to Right Person at Right Time is Right Format

Reporting solution should encompass each type of reporting

Dashboards- KPIs, Information at a Glance

Standard Reports – Operational, pre-defined content

Flexible Self-Service Reporting –Pre-defined reports with Drill down and parameter selection

Ad-Hoc Reporting- power users, Usually shared with stakeholders

Data Mining/Predictive Modeling/Trending- Ask “what if” questions to drive decisions

Portal/Scorecards- Access to District data outside the district

IBM utilizes strict Project Management Methodologies that focus on ensuring Delivery Excellence in every project

- Project Launch

- Seven Keys to SuccessWork and Schedule are PredictableBusiness Benefits are being realizedStakeholders are committedScope is realistic and managedTeam is high performingRisks are being mitigatedDelivery organization benefits are being realized

- Project Management Reviews

- Conditions of Satisfaction


Let’s not forget the people and processes around the technology

Many vendors you will encounter will “forget” that your success is based on more then just the technology … there are people and process implications to be addressed.

- Data Governance

- Organizational Change Management

- Performance Management Process


At a macro level, IBM views Data Governance (DG) as the orchestration of people, process, and technology to enable an organization to leverage data as an enterprise asset.

Using the definition of DG above, IBM views the key objectives of a strong K-12 DG program as:

Establishing a district-wide culture recognizing the value of data (student, financial, hr, etc.) as an institutional asset

Building a governance infrastructure, technology and supporting organization

Defining processes and business rules for ongoing governance that is followed by teachers, data managers and central/school administrators, etc.

Developing common and standard data domain definitions

Developing architecture practices and standards

Measuring, monitoring, and managing data quality and integrity

Connecting operational activities with educational institution performance

Ensuring effective compliance and regulatory support infrastructure


IBM typically proposes a five phased approach to organizational change management.

•Launch project team

•Develop detailed project work plan, mandate and scope

•Introduce team/mgmt to change tools & models

•Develop communication strategy

IBM continues to be recognized as one of the Business Intelligence Service provider leaders by independent analysts

IBM has a visible IM strategy that encompasses IBM Global Business Services (GBS) and created a new consulting service line in July 2009, named Business Analytics and Optimization (BAO). Increasing investment for IM solutions by IBM generates market momentum for the industry. IBM GBS and its new BAO group is a good fit for enterprises tackling complex initiatives with requirements for both business and technology skills within their industry for BAP solutions.

Strengths- IBM GBS has the business, industry and domain

expertise to deliver a compelling information-led solution for BI and analytics engagements.

- The IBM company investments and acquisitions of Ascential Software, DataMirror, Cognos and SPSS bolster its credibility for IBM GBS solutions — led by the BAO unit — across the BAP framework.

- IBM GBS clients rated it high for technical expertise and industry knowledge, and bringing best practices to an engagement.

- IBM GBS has invested heavily in developing global delivery capabilities to address the continued high demand for multiple price points in BI engagements through a combination of domestic and outsourced delivery models.

An Instruction Information System is not a one-off event; but an on-going, iterative process to deliver the right information to enable managers to make better decisions – it is the process of delivering business insight.

The outcome of effective Instructional Information System should be better decisions, not dashboards!


IBM has a wealth of experience in implementing solutions such as the one discussed With the merger of Cognos’ K-12 data warehouse specialists and IBM’s K-12 practice, we collectively have

designed, developed, and/or been involved in the construction of the largest and most complex data warehouse solutions for school districts, state DOEs and K-12 entities across the country.

Implemented and worked with a variety of K-12 data systems that feed into a data warehouse – SIS, Special Education, Instructional Management, ERP, Food Services and Transportation systems.

Have worked with school districts across the US to meet state and federal reporting requirements

IBM’s Proven Business Intelligence Method

Solution Startup: Focuses on the activities and tasks needed to define, plan, and start a project. ll key stakeholders must clearly understand and support the scope and objectives of the project. This will allow you to head off head off unforeseen risks that could negatively impact the project and the team’s ability to deliver.

Strategy and Planning - It is important to carefully define and plan a project up front. Solution Outline: Solution Outline is intended as the "scoping" phase and is designed to

accurately gather the information needed to proceed with the development of a Business Intelligence Solution. Once we understand the complexity and scope of the solution we can proceed with making informed business and technical decisions.

Macro Design: Whereas Solution Outline "scopes" the engagement, the three phases which comprise a release (Micro Design, Build Cycle, and Deployment) deliver a specific release. Macro Design is the phase in-between that prepares for the releases and develops a robust architectural framework upon which to build agile releases. Macro Design addresses the global, architectural issues which affect all the releases.

Micro Design: Prepares for the build cycle of a specific release of the system by driving the architecture and design to a release specific and implementation platform view.

Build Cycle: Incrementally develops and tests the system until the objectives of the release are achieved.

Deployment: Deploys the system and prepares for the next release of the system.
