ISIN Isin (ĭs`ĭn), capital of an ancient Semitic kingdom of N Babylonia. The city became important after the third dynasty of Ur fell to the Elamites and the Amorites (c.2025 B.C.). The phase from c.2025–c.1763 B.C. code: FR0004026250 - BOB), the world's leading provider of business intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced that The College of New Jersey has selected BusinessObjects(TM) XI as its BI standard. The College of New Jersey is currently implementing a Student Administration System that will include all student data related to admission, student records, academic advising, student accounts, and financial aid. BusinessObjects XI, the industry's most advanced and complete BI platform, will be fully integrated with The College's PeopleSoft Student Administration System and will provide academic and administrative staff an easy way to access and analyze student information. The College also selected BusinessObjects Data Integrator Business Objects's Data Integrator is a data integration and ETL tool that was previously known as Acta. The Data Integrator product consists primarily of a Data Integrator Job Server and the Data Integrator Designer. XI, the industry's most productive and scalable enterprise data integration solution, to improve data integrity and enable better decision-making across the organization. "As a smaller organization, it is important for us to standardize on one business intelligence platform and Business Objects provides us with a scalable solution that can grow with our evolving BI strategy," said Dawn Willan, assistant chief information officer at The College of New Jersey. "Some of our staff are very technical and have been onboard with our plan to make BI an integral part of the Student Administration System. We are excited about deploying Business Objects because we expect it will decentralize de·cen·tral·ize v. de·cen·tral·ized, de·cen·tral·iz·ing, de·cen·tral·iz·es v.tr. 1.

With a consistent version of the data, our staff will be able to make better-informed decisions and better serve our students." The Student Administration System is based on PeopleSoft technology and will track student data across all seven schools within The College of New Jersey. Business Objects reporting and analytic capabilities will be integrated with the PeopleSoft system so that administrators report on and identify trends from student data. For example, improved access to enrollment information will enable administrators to better manage course scheduling. During the selection process, BusinessObjects XI stood out against competitors for its simplified user interface and metadata configuration and maintenance. Unlike other BI solutions, BusinessObjects XI presented a more intuitive interface for power users. Also, as the College developed their BI strategy they identified a need for an Extract Transform and Load solution. Because Data Integrator is fully integrated with the BusinessObjects XI platform, The College of New Jersey chose Business Objects as its BI standard. The College also purchased Crystal Reports(R) XI and BusinessObjects Web Intelligence(TM). Data Integrator XI will enable The College to consolidate data from across the Student Administration System and provide trustworthy data to administrators and academics. Previously, reporting solutions at The College were cumbersome and staff were building "shadow systems" in Excel and Access. But the data in these "shadow systems" became outdated quickly and sometimes led to conflicting reports. The College of New Jersey expects that Data Integrator, along with Web Intelligence and Crystal Reports, will ensure administrators work from one, trustworthy version of student data and decision-making capabilities will improve.
