Ensuring your data is presented cohesively will help you make better decisions.
It’s not just the data itself that impacts decisions at an institution. Data visualization, or how that data is presented for analysis and use, can be equally impactful.

In an ideal environment, information should flow easily between tools to allow for consistent data analysis and operational reporting.
