Analytics Acceleration to Turn
Data Overload into Operational Power
Institutions are flooded with data—but most still cannot answer critical questions when it matters. Why? Because the institution is not built to act with data. Analytics alone doesn’t drive change. Tools don’t create clarity. And reports don’t replace decisions. What is missing is the capacity to move with precision and purpose.
Analytics Acceleration Delivers
Workflow Automation – Replace clunky reporting with intelligent, repeatable processes
that incorporate AI
Self-Service Access – Give leaders in enrollment, finance, and academics the ability to
act without waiting on IT
A Trusted Data Core – Unify fragmented systems into one reliable, governed foundation
Execution Built In – Core doesn’t just hand you a plan or deploy a tool—we embed with
your team to run it, scale it, and make it real. We deliver organizational capacity poised
to deliver on the change paradigm through data informed decisions
Why Choose Core?
Today, Core Education announces the launch of Analytics Acceleration—a new offering built to
give institutions the operating capacity to make data-informed decisions at speed. Powered by
the Alteryx Analytics Cloud Platform and delivered through Core’s embedded model, Analytics Acceleration is designed for institutions that need to move now—and move smarter.
“A tool is not a solution. A solution does not create operational execution. And execution does not happen without capacity,” said Mike Alstrom, SVP of Technology, Strategy and Delivery at Core. “We are not offering a product. We are offering a way for institutions to finally start using what you already know—systematically and with intent."
Ready to get started with Alteryx?
Analytics Acceleration is for institutions under pressure, facing real decisions, with no time to waste. We are delivering institutions power to move—with clarity, speed, and purpose.
