Penn State University (Penn State) was founded in 1855 and is consistently ranked among the top universities in the country. Penn State has been Pennsylvania's largest source of baccalaureate degrees since the 1930s, awarding more than 500,000 degrees in total. Penn State, a multicampus, land-grant, and public research university, educates students from all over the world and supports individuals and communities through integrated programs of teaching, research, and service.To amplify this impact, the university sought to replace its in-house mainframe-based business information system with intelligent software that included cutting-edge embedded analytics functionality, allowing it to optimize processes and make better, more informed decisions.
