Enterprise Data & Business Intelligence
Helping Rice become a more data-capable university.
EDBI connects trusted data, modern analytics, and campus enablement in support of Momentous, helping Rice turn information into confident action.
Data Infrastructure for a More Capable Campus
EDBI supports Rice’s Momentous strategic work by making institutional data easier to find, trust, understand, and use. We turn fragmented systems into governed data products, reporting tools, and analytics that help the university see itself more clearly.
Our work is not just about dashboards. It is about helping campus partners become more self-sufficient, giving leaders a clearer view of progress, and modernizing the foundation Rice depends on for planning and decision-making.
Make Decisions With Trusted Data
Shared definitions, governed sources, and curated reports reduce confusion and improve confidence.
Build Department Self-Service
Training, Power BI, Tableau, and approved data products help teams answer more questions on their own.
Modernize the Data Foundation
Legacy reporting is being replaced with architecture built for reliability, performance, and scale.
Train. Partner. Enable. Expand.
EDBI’s strategy is not a linear path. These four pillars reinforce one another as we help Rice build stronger data skills, solve departmental challenges, use modern tools with confidence, and expand the trusted data foundation that supports campus decision-making.
Train
Provide role-based learning for Tableau, Power BI, Fabric, and data analytics, from foundational skills to more advanced and specialized use cases.
Partner
Work directly with departments to guide, design, and build solutions while helping teams strengthen their own data capabilities along the way.
Enable
Help the campus use modern data tools through project work, role-based guidance, shared resources, and future working sessions open to Rice employees.
Expand
Grow the Enterprise Data Platform by adding trusted data sources, expanding institutional data products, and scaling support for Rice’s evolving needs.
