HelioCampus today announced a significant leap forward with the release of a suite of features inside their flagship data analytics platform, laying a robust and trustworthy foundation for clients to seamlessly integrate and leverage the power of AI within their institutional data landscape. This major upgrade to HelioCampus’ product provides institutions with unprecedented visibility into their data, creating a more powerful platform today, and setting up their use of AI in decision making well into the future. 

The HelioCampus Data Analytics platform now includes:

• Modern Data Platform: The architecture behind the HelioCampus Data Analytics platform is cloud native, scalable, flexible with multiple data formats and grounded in a three-tiered data structure with self-service functionality.
• Theia: HelioCampus’s integrated feature set that makes HelioCampus Data Analytics truly unique by ensuring clients are making decisions with trustworthy data. Theia includes the company’s data models, semantic layer, and embedded data governance tools.
• Analytics Console: A self-service administrative portal for Data Analytics that enables HelioCampus clients to uplevel their data governance efforts with a data manager, platform manager, and user manager.

Together, these innovations represent a major step forward for the industry standard data analytics platform. HelioCampus CEO Darren Catalano explained the importance of these upgrades, “Using AI in a trustworthy and meaningful way requires foundational investments in data engineering, data modeling and data governance. Today’s announcement creates a roadmap for these foundations - and our clients are already benefiting from them in their day to day work.”

HelioCampus has rolled these features out to current clients over the past several months. Their Analytics Console feature has received overwhelmingly positive feedback: 

“HelioCampus' Analytics Console is great. It's really interesting as a data governance analyst to look at the data at that level.” - Cole Heady, Director of Decision Support at Ball State University

“It looks very user-friendly. I think it could be utilized by more than just the backend ITS data analytics staff, but also might be useful for data stewards who are not tech savvy but need to be able to verify or validate what the information is and where it's coming from.” - Carlene Jackson,  Manager, IR Reporting Services at UNC Wilmington

“I see this particular tool as enhancing the work that we do in broadening the data literacy side of the work that we do through data governance. So I'm excited. I'm really excited about what's to come.” - Trina Das, Ph.D, Associate Vice Provost, Office of Decision Support and Data Integrity at Villanova University 

Today's announcements mark a critical juncture, establishing the essential groundwork for the meaningful application of AI in higher education. Craig Rudick, HelioCampus Senior Director of Product Management explains, “What we’re announcing today improves the work clients are doing today, it is essential for the AI tools coming tomorrow, and it lays a foundation for whatever new technology is going to come after that.”

Building upon this robust and trustworthy data infrastructure, HelioCampus is actively piloting an genAI-powered tool designed to democratize data-informed decision-making, extending powerful insights to a much broader range of individuals across campus.
