The Analytics committee met with Ex Libris to discuss performance issues and pain points. Specifically issues of insufficient documentation, excessive report run times and instances of data missing from a report. Ex Libris encouraged participation in the Analytics Community of Practice. The community of practice focuses on sharing best practices, tips and tricks, and use cases related Analytics products Members of the community share their experiences with these products, discuss common challenges, and collaborate on solutions. The committee provided examples from the pain points to Ex Libris.
Will discuss at the next analytics meeting whether there have been marked improvements in speed. Analytic reports that previously took an extraordinary amount of time to complete, were finishing in 1-2 minutes, which Ex Libris mentioned in the meeting, should be the standard amount of time for most reports that are not pulling significant amount of data (ie. Network zone reports).
