New Hampshire Colleges Adopt Data Analytics

Four community colleges in New Hampshire have adopted software for data analysis from Rapid Insight, a company based in that state. Manchester Community College, White Mountains Community College in Berlin, Nashua Community College, and River Valley Community College in Claremont have all selected Rapid Insight as their analytical software provider.

The company's data integration software allows users to extract data, integrate it from multiple sources, automate reporting, and create data marts.

"The flexibility, accuracy and speed of Rapid Insight's Data Integration software, with its reporting function, allow us to quickly turn data into actionable information," said Jere Turner, director of institutional research at Manchester CC, which has been using the software for a year.
