Hello Colleagues,

Cal Poly Humboldt embarked on a five-year initiative called the Enterprise Data Transformation (EDT) Project, designed to modernize our data architecture and foster a data-informed decision-making culture.

The primary objective of this transformation is to implement a comprehensive, reliable, and scalable enterprise data solution that supports equitable and inclusive student success.

As part of this effort, we will be transitioning from Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI) to the Chancellor’s Office-supported Common Financial System (CFS) Data Warehouse. To ensure a smooth transition and assess potential impacts, a CFS Data Warehouse Task Force, composed of campus-wide stakeholders, will guide this effort.

Over the next year, the task force will focus on:

• Creating resources and providing training

• Supporting campus-wide adoption of the CFS Data Warehouse

• Addressing key questions through an FAQ document

Stay tuned for additional information in the coming weeks. Thank you to the CFS Transition Task Force for leading this important work!

Sincerely,

Sarah Long, Associate Vice President of Financial Operations & University Controller
Patrick Orona, Director of Academic Resources, Office of Academic Affairs
Michael Le, Acting Chief Data Officer; Director, ITS Institutional Research, Analytics, and Reporting
