MyEduLife selected to provide customized, multi-phase data governance solution for Baruch College in New York

ORLANDO, Fla, --- MyEduLife, headquartered in the Central Florida Research Park near the University of Central Florida campus, was recently selected to provide a customized, multi-phase data governance initiative. The effort will help improve Baruch College’s data management infrastructure by connecting the dots between disparate systems within the New York college’s data environment.

Dr. Mark Mooney, co-founder of MyEduLife said his firm is working with Arthur Downing, chief information officer at Baruch College, to automate Baruch’s data management activities and create transparency, accountability and cost controls.

“MyEduLife provides software suites that can align programs including admissions, student records, financials and residential life among the tens to hundreds of other programs universities typically use to assist with decision making and forecasting,” Dr. Mooney explained.

“Being able to integrate data from a variety of fragmented systems gives the administration an unprecedented ability to truly know what is happening within the college. It allows them to have all the relevant data to fully see trends and patterns, have a much more complete picture much faster, and make much more informed decisions. The cost savings that can result will more than pay for the software in a short period of time.”

Colleges and universities were among the first institutions to adopt data management procedures, Dr. Mooney said. Typically, large institutions incorporated data management systems on a piecemeal basis, one department or division at a time.

After more than two decades of upgrading and innovation, universities typically employ a wide range of different data processing systems.

“Data governance is a growing concern in large institutions and MyEduLife has developed an excellent solution that can link all the disparate entities together securely,” Dr. Mooney said.

Founded in 2009, MyEduLife provides a suite of software applications that address the specific problem of data governance for educational institutions.

MyEduLife is a client of the UCF Business Incubation Program in the Central Florida Research Park in east Orange County.
