Data Warehouse Project

OSU will be developing a Student Information System data warehouse for WOU over the next several months.

Phase I will focus on SIS data and include some Institutional Resource data. Phase I production will be available by Fall 2009. Phase II will include data from sources other than Banner, including Financial Aid, COE database, Housing, etc. Throughout each phase, the data brought into the new model development will be able to be integrated with existing FIS and HRIS model data using the BI Query software. Additional support in integrating data is available throughout the process from the WIT team.

The 5th-site team will provide development and on-going training opportunities at no additional cost to WOU.

Joy Bautz will meet with small groups of WOU staff. Members include:
Mike Huber, Nancy France, Linda Stonecipher, Michael Soukup, Josh Lind, Stan Little, Michael Ellis, Darin Silbernagel, Rob Findtner, Faye Whitenack, Judy Vanderburg, Eric Snow, Michele VanDeusen, Eric Borst, Ryan West, Dorothy Hendrickson, David McDonald, Chris Kampton, Bruce Vickers, Kathy Hill, Tamie Saffell, Ella Taylor, Tiffany Smith, Hilda Rosselli, Peggy Pedersen, JoNan LeRoy

• Carla Simonson, the WIT (Warehouse Integration and Training) team manager, will lead the warehouse design. Joy Bautz on the WIT team is the primary model developer.


• Connie Atchley, the 5th-site programming manager, will lead the programming effort.
  Jeremy Hickerson and Issam Rifai will be the programmers.
