Great AI Starts
with Great BI

The Enterprise AI Platform for Higher Education — Built on Institutional Truth

Transform your institution with AI that understands your data, respects your governance, and delivers insights every user can trust.

Informer AI combines decades of Business Intelligence excellence with cutting-edge artificial intelligence to put institutional context in everyone’s hands—from students to leadership.

Your Institution Faces Critical AI Risks

Higher education is rushing to adopt AI, but most are creating more problems than solutions. Without governance, context, or visibility, AI can expose institutions to risk rather than deliver value.

Common Challenges:

  • AI Sprawl: Faculty and staff use disconnected AI tools, creating data silos and
compliance gaps.
  • No Institutional Context: Generic AI can’t answer questions about your data, policies,
or students.
  • Governance Blind Spots: Little to no visibility into what prompts are being entered or which data is being accessed.
  • Compliance Exposure: Sensitive information leaves your controlled environment, risking FERPA, HIPAA, and other violations.
  • Unclear ROI: Scattered pilots make it impossible to measure impact or justify continued investment.

The result:

Frustrated users, worried administrators, and AI initiatives that fail to deliver institutional value.

Enterprise AI That You Actually Control

Replace AI sprawl with a unified, governed platform that delivers secure, explainable intelligence across
your institution.

Common Challenges:

  • Enterprise Data Governance — SOC 2-certified, FERPA-aligned, with full auditability.
  • Complete Transparency — Your institution owns every prompt and response.
  • Campus-Wide Deployment — Serve students, faculty, staff, and leadership through governed AI that spans institutional operations, teaching and learning, and student engagement.
  • Flexible Integrations — Connect to Ellucian Student (powered by Colleague and Banner), Workday, PeopleSoft, Canvas, D2L, and more.
  • Deployment Your Way — Choose cloud, on-prem, or hybrid. Informer adapts to your IT strategy.

The Foundation of Trustworthy AI

AI is only as reliable as the data—and governance—it’s built on.

Generic tools can answer general questions, but only governed BI can answer the ones that shape institutional success.

  • Trusted Data Foundation — Built on the same warehouse, datasets, and governance rules that power your BI.
  • Validate Everything — Every AI response is traceable back to its data source with one click. See the exact query, dataset, and calculations behind every answer. No hallucinations, no guesswork.
  • Governed Access — Role-based security ensures users see only the data they’re authorized to view.
  • Transparent Oversights — Full audit trails capture who asked what, when, and what data was accessed. No black boxes.
Without quality Business Intelligence, AI is just guessing. Informer AI fuses trusted BI with explainable AI to deliver answers you can verify.

AI on Top of Your BI

Once your data is governed, secure, and contextual, AI can safely extend its reach.

Informer AI sits directly on top of your BI layer—using the same models, rules, and permissions to deliver explainable intelligence anywhere it’s needed.

  • Context-Aware Intelligence – AI understands institutional structure, terminology, and relationships within your data.
  • Unified Governance – Analytics, automation, and AI all draw from the same governed environment.
  • Scalable Framework – Extend governed AI from analytics to workflows, daily decision-making and campus-wide Assistants.
  • Accountable by Design – Every interaction remains auditable, ensuring compliance and trust.
This is how Informer AI bridges the gap between Business Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence—keeping your institution in control while advancing what’s possible.
