Transforming faculty activity reporting across a complex multi-campus university
Indiana University, a major multi-campus R1 public university serving nearly 8,000 faculty and more than 90,000 students, transformed its faculty activity reporting by implementing Symplectic Elements. This case study explores how the university streamlined workflows, improved data quality, and created a single, trusted source of institutional faculty data.
The implementation of Symplectic Elements has delivered strong operational and data management improvements across Indiana University.
- Enhanced Faculty Experience: An intuitive interface and integrations such as ORCID and web profiles provide clearer value to faculty while reducing manual effort.
- Efficient Administration: Streamlined workflows enable administrators to track reviews and generate insights more easily.
- Single Source of Truth: Faculty activity data, including publications, teaching, service, and productivity, is now consolidated in one trusted system.
- Modernized Data Practices: The implementation enabled IU to rethink business processes, improve data quality, and reduce duplication across systems.
Symplectic Elements now serves as a strategic platform for Indiana University, supporting institution-wide annual reviews and enabling future use cases such as post-tenure review, accreditation tracking, and expanded reporting.
