Cognos dashboards: TIES educational technology

Cognos dashboards

TIES Education Performance Management System (EPMS) is powered by Cognos, the global leader in business intelligence and a pioneer in school district data management.

The system includes:

Dashboards customized for each user that give instant, visual access to key metrics
Query Studio for ad hoc and customized reports
Data warehouse that pulls data from multiple systems

Superintendents, principals and other administrators can:

Analyze and report on student data and receive alerts on predetermined metrics
Manipulate and report key operational and academic data across all of TIES school management software applications — TIES Student Information, TIES HRPay, TIES Finance
Look at data across multiple dimensions, drawing information from a central data warehouse, and can analyze and create reports on student performance, test results, curriculum management, attendance and absence reporting, and aggregated performance reviews, among others
Easily identify children who are falling behind and take specific actions without waiting for a formal report card to indicate where students are struggling academically

Cognos draws on the data from TIES Student Information, TIES HRPay, TIES Finance and other applications to create an indispensable data-based decision-making tool for school administrators.

Districts choose Cognos

Several districts in the Itasca Area Schools Collaborative chose Cognos from TIES "because of the ease in which we are able to get data into the warehouse, product support from TIES and the ability to drill down and make decisions about individual students." — Superintendent Matt Grose, Deer River Public Schools
