Data and analytics for higher education
Your student data,
told as one clear story.
We connect Banner, your admissions CRM and your learning platform into one trusted source in Microsoft Fabric, then build the enrollment and retention reporting your leadership actually uses. You own all of it.
A seanchaí is the traditional Irish storyteller, the keeper of a community's history. We do the same with your data: gather it, check it, and tell it so people can act on it.
What we do
From scattered systems to answers you trust
Most colleges have the data. It's spread across Banner, a CRM, an LMS and a dozen spreadsheets, and every report counts things a little differently. We fix the foundation first.
Banner to Microsoft Fabric
Student, registration, course and financial aid data from Banner landed in a Fabric lakehouse, cleaned and documented in bronze, silver and gold layers.
- Effective-dated records handled correctly
- Daily or hourly refresh
- Reconciled to Banner row by row
Funnel and forecasting
Inquiry to enrolled by program, term and channel, with pacing against prior years and a forecast you can check.
- Slate, Salesforce or Banner Recruiter
- Marketing spend and cost per enrolled student
- Weekly pacing snapshots
Student success and early alerts
Persistence, retention and graduation reporting, plus early-alert lists that explain why a student is flagged, built with FERPA in mind from the start.
- LMS activity, grades and holds
- Plain-language risk reasons
- Advisor work lists
Power BI that people use
Governed semantic models, one set of definitions, and reports designed for deans, directors and advisors, not just analysts.
- Shared metric definitions
- Row-level security by college or role
- Training and handoff

Small team, clear steps, nothing locked in
Assess
Two to three weeks. We map your systems, the reports people rely on, and where the numbers disagree. You get a written plan and a fixed quote.
Build the foundation
Banner and your other sources land in your own Microsoft Fabric tenant, with tests that reconcile every load back to the source.
Deliver reporting
Funnel, retention or the reports you need most first, built with the people who will use them.
Hand off
Documentation, training and a support option. Everything runs in your tenant, under your security, and it's yours to keep.
Your data stays yours
We work inside your Microsoft tenant. Student data doesn't leave your environment for ours.
Built for small teams
Designed for colleges with one or two analysts, or none. Plain documentation, few moving parts.
Microsoft native
Fabric, Power BI and Entra sign-in you already license, instead of another platform to buy.
About
Built by someone who does this work every day
Seanachie Analytics was founded by Patrick Kubier, a higher-education analytics leader who builds data platforms and reporting for enrollment, student success and leadership teams.
Patrick works hands-on in Ellucian Banner, Salesforce, Microsoft Fabric and Power BI: building the pipelines, writing the definitions, and sitting with the people who use the reports. Seanachie Analytics brings that same practical approach to colleges that need it but don't have a large data team.
