Despite revolutionary changes in technology, the challenges facing institutional research professionals remain remarkably the same as they were a decade ago. They are still meeting disparate stakeholder demands, developing new skills, adopting new roles, and finding ways to communicate complex information through clear presentation of data. Then as now, they turned to technology for a solution; however, the constant reshuffling of priorities and goals for institutional research professionals and their institutions at large is greater than ever before. The question is how the institutional research professional can harness technology for improved data integrity, reporting, research, and communication to enable leadership to make data-informed decisions. The answer to this question can aid institutional research professionals in their quest to support their institutions in meeting some of today's toughest challenges: strategic planning, information analysis, stakeholder support, and data presentation. Technology fails to replace the need for meaningful discussions and viable dialogues about these issues, but in many ways, it can help them work more efficiently and effectively. This chapter focuses on these challenges and the technological support available to help institutional research professionals succeed in meeting them at the institutional and departmental levels.
