When the university asked OTDI to modernize our administrative systems with cloud-based Workday, Ohio State gained the ability to maintain a primary source of trusted data (a single source of truth) that could be shared by all of Ohio State and the Wexner Medical Center.
In addition to Workday (implemented in 2021) the university knew it also needed a new application to enable better reporting and data analytics for its business transactions. By adding Tableau as a partnering tool, Ohio State's data analysis and data visualization competencies have expanded. Check out this quick 5-minute History of OTDI video highlighting Tableau to learn how it was incorporated into Ohio State’s suite of powerful enterprise tools.
