About the Webconference

Prior to gaining campus-wide access to standardized data, St. Ambrose University (SAU) deans and department chairs were limited to disconnected data points and arduous manual analysis when it came to making resource allocation decisions.

SAU partnered with Academic Performance Solutions to put key department metrics into the hands of academic leaders and finance committees that would help to inform requests and make allocation decisions.
