Indiana University: Advancing faculty activity reporting with Symplectic Elements
Indiana University (IU), a major multi-campus R1 public university serving nearly 8,000 faculty and more than 90,000 students, transformed how it manages faculty activity data by adopting Symplectic Elements. The platform has helped IU simplify processes, improve the faculty experience, reduce duplication, and create a single, trusted source of institutional data for faculty and administrators.
The implementation of Symplectic Elements has delivered strong operational and data management improvements across Indiana University.
- Enhanced Faculty Experience: An intuitive interface and integrations such as ORCID and web profiles provide clearer value to faculty while reducing manual effort.
- Efficient Administration: Streamlined workflows enable administrators to track reviews and generate insights more easily.
- Single Source of Truth: Faculty activity data, including publications, teaching, service, and productivity, is now consolidated in one trusted system.
- Modernized Data Practices: The implementation enabled IU to rethink business processes, improve data quality, and reduce duplication across systems.
Symplectic Elements now serves as a strategic platform for Indiana University, supporting institution-wide annual reviews and enabling future use cases such as post-tenure review, accreditation tracking, and expanded reporting.
