Title Endeca OAUG SIG Webinar: Valdosta State University Student Activity Analysis Using Oracle Endeca Information Discovery (OEID) Description This includes slides from a webinar where Valdosta State University demonstrates how they have become a trailblazer in the use of Oracle’s Endeca Information Discovery (OEID). First they developed a comprehensive look at student activities and attributes and their impact on retention and success rates, which allows them to target assistance to those that need it most. Now they are launching a similarly comprehensive view of faculty, incorporating data from their Banner GL system, Digital Measures faculty reporting system, and other information systems, with the intention of matching their interests and experiences with research grants and faculty scholarships as they become available. These slides demonstrate Valdosta’s implementation of Endeca and discuss how information discovery can benefit your organization. The Oracle Application User Group (OAUG) Endeca Special Interest Group (SIG) was formed to allow users to share information, best practices and the use of Oracle Endeca modules, including Oracle Endeca Commerce, Oracle Endeca Information Discovery and Oracle E-Business Suite Extensions for Oracle Endeca. Through the SIG, users have access to education and training programs and may provide feedback to Oracle by recommending product enhancements and influencing future versions of the software.
