Data-Informed Decision Making Innovation ~ An ITS and Student Life Partnership
2021 Michigan IT Symposium Breakout Session from Thursday, December 16 @ 2 pm

Dashboards are useful but have challenges such as being static, visualizing against new dimensions requires time and many updates before final or new versions. The pandemic made us realize that managing a crisis requires good data as well as fast analysis. To enable our end users in creating self-service analytics/data insights with AI capabilities and the most ease using natural language query, Student Life Technology Solutions partnered with ITS to pilot an Augmented Analytics Tool - ThoughtSpot utilizing housing data.  In this pilot demo, you will see the ease with which end users can create various dashboards, drill down, and view auto generated insights. We will also share some lessons learned in order to use this powerful tool.
