The openIntel solution is based on the data model design work of a renowned education expert in data warehouse. This person was one of the first individuals to design data warehouse models specifically for K-12 education. His work remains the foundation for many data warehouses in use in K-12 today.

Years after our friend left corporate America, he graciously agreed to our proposal of creating a data model that could be given away to all districts. This newest design is the foundation of our first release of openIntel.
