The Arkansas Department of Education faced increasing pressure from its State legislature to be more accountable to the performance of each student who passes through the system. This pressure was further magnified by education standards set out by the No Child Left Behind Act. To meet these demands, the ADE needed a solution that could plug into the vast amounts of student and program information found across the department and among each school district, and enable in-depth analysis and timely reporting. Ensuing product evaluations quickly pointed to Cognos as the answer.
