The Office of Information Technology (OIT) has launched a redesigned Leading Insight Through Empowerment (LITE) website aimed at improving how the campus community accesses enterprise reporting, analytics, and data services resources. The updated platform introduces a modernized user experience, streamlined navigation, and a more scalable framework for managing and discovering reporting content across Georgia Tech.
The new LITE site introduces a refreshed visual design and improved content structure intended to simplify navigation while creating a more sustainable long-term platform for Data Services. One of the most visible additions is the LITE Report Assistant, an AI-powered tool integrated into the website intended to simplify how users locate reports, understand available services, and connect with appropriate support channels.
“Our team wanted to build a platform that could evolve alongside the needs of the Institute,” said Nick Chaviano, director of Data Services. “The LITE Report Assistant represents another step toward making enterprise data resources more accessible and easier to navigate for the campus community.”
The redesigned LITE site also supports broader efforts underway across Georgia Tech to strengthen data accessibility, governance, and self-service analytics capabilities for students, faculty, and staff.
The redesign was led by OIT’s Enterprise Data Services team and reflects a broader effort to align enterprise data resources with evolving campus needs and Georgia Tech branding standards. The project also includes the planned retirement of the legacy Enterprise Data Management (EDM) website and content, which remained online following organizational transitions. The original EDM website was initially created during the Institute’s Workday enterprise resource planning transition in 2019 to help campus users better understand reporting and integration services.
The previous version of the LITE website also relied heavily on manual maintenance. Adding new reports required staff to manually update pages, capture screenshots, and organize content individually. Limited tagging and filtering capabilities made it difficult for users to discover reports based on more specific business needs or security-based access requirements.
“The goal was to create a more cohesive and intuitive experience for campus users,” added Chaviano. “Over time, there were multiple sites, outdated workflows, and manual processes that made it harder for users to find the right information or request the services they needed.”
