Drexel Reporting

Hyperion software, formerly Brio, provides a complete business intelligence solution for data query & analysis, enterprise reporting, and global information delivery to drive business performance.

The AIS Department uses Hyperion Intelligence as a reporting tool to provide web-based standardized reports to the Administrative and Academic Community that allows users to run departmental reports and efficiently retrieve information from Drexel's database, SCT Banner.

AIS Systems Analysts write reports and then post them on the web for end users to access through the Hyperion Intelligence Client (a plugin for Internet Explorer). To access the reports, logon at: www.drexel.edu/reporting
