Dear colleague
Our collaboration has created two projects:
· Heidi-Plus,
which will replace the existing Heidi service, providing a real step change in end user functionality
· Heidi-Lab,
an exciting new Jisc project to develop a national business intelligence experimentation service. This will draw on a wide range of data sources with successful outputs being considered for inclusion in Heidi-Plus
We warmly invite you or one of your colleagues to join our business intelligence data experts group and participate in the group’s first event, a one day workshop
in Manchester on Wednesday 24 June 2015. At the workshop we will begin to identify data sources for Heidi-Lab and explore the additional activities of the expert group as it goes forward.
Benefits of participating
· Identify
and access a wide range of data sources to enhance business intelligence for your own institution and the education sector
· Co-develop
analyses and visualisations that institutions working alone may struggle to achieve
· Influence
and enhance business intelligence in your institution and across the UK
· See
your most successful analyses offered through Heidi-Plus

Who do we need?
We are looking for people who:
· Understand
the sorts of questions people in HE need answers to
· Have
experience of providing customers with analysis and visualisations
· Have
access to relevant networks and colleagues to raise awareness of the business intelligence data experts group and encourage people to join
· Know
the data landscape (what is out there) and have a wish list of data sources for such purposes
· Understand
the access issues associated with different data sources
· Have
views on the quality and potential of different data sources
How to get involved
If you or a colleague are interested in this opportunity, please complete the short
online application form by 29 May 2015, including some information about your interest and particular areas of expertise and experience (see section ‘Who do we need’). We will try to get a broad balance
of expertise and experience and will let you know by 9 June 2015 if you’ve been selected for the expert group and our first workshop.
If you are unable to join us on 24 June but would like to be considered for future business intelligence data expert opportunities, please tick the relevant box
in the online form.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided at the workshop and travel expenses, accompanied by receipts, will be reimbursed.
With best wishes
