TSTC is a public, statewide technical college in Texas with a mission to place more Texans in great paying jobs. They boast a unique funding formula based on graduates' successful placement in high-earning fields. Hence, real-time data on market trends and projections are critical to roll out effective programming for their student-to-workforce pipeline. This requires analyzing data from multiple internal and external data sources which proved an inefficient and tedious process before implementing their current technology overhaul, starting with Denodo.
