Background
Higher Education Partners Africa (HEP Africa) is part of a globally recognised and mission-driven online programme management (OPM) consortium operating across four continents. HEP Africa empowers partner universities to establish robust online operations, sustainably grow enrolments, and deliver exemplary online student experiences.
Challenge
Achieving these ambitious goals required overcoming significant challenges in data consolidation, analytics, and reporting. As a rapidly growing organisation with ambitious objectives, HEP Africa faced several critical challenges in managing and analysing their data effectively: • Fragmented data sources: Data was distributed across multiple platforms, hindering the ability to create a unified, holistic view for strategic decision-making. • Inefficient reporting: Manual and time-consuming reporting processes delayed access to actionable insights, limiting organisational responsiveness. • Restricted analytical insight: Leadership lacked timely visibility into key metrics, which constrained their ability to make informed and proactive decisions.
Approach
Keyrus implemented an end-to-end, bespoke data solution comprising of expertly designed technology stack deployed for the most effective results. This stack consisted of 1. automated data integration tool that streamlinesd the extraction and synchronisation of data from key sources in user-friendly data layer tailored to HEP Africa’s specific analytical needs. 2. secure cloud-based data warehouse enabling seamless data ingestion, transformation, and analysis, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. 3. advanced visualisation platform empowering stakeholders across HEP Africa to explore data interactively.
