Data and Reporting Team, DART

The Data and Reporting Team (DART) is a working group serving under the Norman Campus Data Governance Committee (NDGC) to provide support of data and reporting initiatives across the OU Norman and Tulsa Campuses, including (but not limited to) data from the student, human resource, and financial computer systems. The major goals of this group are to:

• Provide a sustainable framework for continued development and support of OU’s data and reporting initiatives.
• Recommend to the NDGC best practices, policies, and standards to enhance reporting at OU.
• Recommend or provide reporting tool training, data training, and overall support to the OU reporting community.
• Enhance the data dictionary with clear definitions and one version of the truth, and extend the dictionary’s usefulness to all reporting platforms.
• Collaborate with IT in the development of new data objects to maximize the usefulness of those objects to the university.
• Foster better communication, coordination, and collaboration within OU’s Business Intelligence community.

Much of the work will be accomplished by DART subteams, which exist to fulfill various aspects of the full DART charter. Some projects may require collaboration and coordination between various subteams.
