Complexities and Challenges of Higher Education Sector
Diversity in Universities structure Functional autonomy of universities Regional imbalance of education opportunities in States Uneven distribution of Universities and Institutions Varied Regional / State requirements Multiple regulatory bodies for specialized universities Different ICT maturity levels of eGovernance readiness 2 April 2019 NIC EA Initiative

Our understanding of University sector has matured and improved through…
7 Center + States / UTs 38+ Universities 10+ solutions ~10 modules ~100 sub-modules 1 5 Ministry of Tourism Chhattisgarh 2 6 Karnataka Odisha 3 Bihar 7 Uttarakhand We have over 8 state units participating in this initiative. currently NIC solutions are being used in 30+ universities. However the universities are using specific instances and there is no common framework or knowledge base which is prevalent in all these solutions due to the lack of collaboration and a foundational guiding framework like University EA / IndEA framework till now. 4 Kerala NIC EA Initiative

We conducted several workshops with NIC State Units and Universities across the Country
Video Conference 2 rounds of video conferences held with NIC State units including Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Karnataka, Bihar, Odisha, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh 9 NIC State units participated in the workshop Regional workshops 5 Regional workshops conducted in Delhi, Shillong, Chandigarh, Patna, Bengaluru 20 States / UTs representatives participated in the workshops 107 Universities participated 250+ participants from universities, NIC state units and State Education Directorates 2 April 2019 NIC EA Initiative

It was understood from the workshops that …
There is a need for a common generic ERP solution which covers all business domains and solutions of Universities. There is an acute challenge faced by universities in terms of availability of reliable hosting / cloud infrastructure solutions. University Enterprise Architecture Framework seeks to establish the foundational design for preparing common & generic configurable ERP solution tailored for Indian Universities 2 April 2019 NIC EA Initiative

Tailored University Enterprise Architecture Framework from IndEA
Higher Education Sector EA aligned to IndEA framework Universities ecosystem IndEA is not an Enterprise Architecture. It is a comprehensive and convenient framework for developing Enterprise Architecture to support ICT enabled transformation across governments. It is an authoritative reference providing an integrated, consistent and cohesive view of strategic goals, business services and enabling technologies across the entire organization. NIC EA Initiative

University Enterprise Architecture Framework to eGov solution roadmap
University business landscape University Framework University Architecture Comprehensive University ERP Solution University specific ERP implementation We are leveraging the guidelines and recommendations under IndEA to develop the University Enterprise Architecture Framework for all Universities. UEAF will be tailor made to adapt to the specific requirements of Indian Universities as per the existing policies and eco-system. The framework will produce a national repository of architecture principles, standards, guidelines, architecture models for universities as a reference point catering to all universities intending to establish their own digital blueprint. It will leverage best practices and international and national level standards and guidelines which would be developed based on inputs from a wider group of stakeholders including MHRD, regulatory bodies like UGC, AICTE, NAAC, MCI, Universities and Implementation and technology partners and vendors. NIC EA Initiative

IndEA UEAF is an abstract framework for Indian Universities to develop their own architectures Guides UEAF UEAF intends to include all possible functional aspects of any Indian university. In a way, it represents a superset university from where the structural and functional needs could be depicted using the basic elements included herein. Instance of Framework Comprehensive University ERP Solution University #1 University #2 ……… University #850 Vision, Mission, Goals Vision, Mission, Goals …………………….. Vision, Mission, Goals Structure #1 Functions: F1, F2, …Fn Structure #2 Functions: F1, F2, …Fn …………………….

Yet the building blocks (organization structure templates, functions, entities, interfaces) would be common / reusable / configurable across universities for ~90% cases whereas for ~10% cases the unique university requirements would be specifically catered to. 2 April 2019 NIC EA Initiative

University Enterprise Architecture Framework initiative covers…
Common structure and functions, and variations Common / shareable / reusable / configurable / interoperable building blocks Define the business framework Blueprint Identify information entities required to support business Define the logical application functionalities to manage data and processes Workout the application integration Design the security layer Outline the performance metrics Decide the technologies and define deployment architectures UEAF governance Dimensions Domains Business Data Application Technology Core Supporting Ancillary Enabling App Integration Security Performance Governance We would establish the baseline repository for the available NIC assets (solutions and documents) and take inputs to define the architecture dimensions which are the business, application, data and technology architectures which would form the University EA framework. On designing the target state architectures, we would be identifying building blocks or modules which are required to be configurable, which may be common / re-used and the university specific modules. Once the building blocks have been defined we would divide the overall framework into smaller work packages based on the criticality, business requirements, benefits and complexity. This exercise will help us to identify the additional business capabilities which are required by the universities discover the additional wish lists or enhancements in the digital university framework design innovative solutions to the universities solutions which would be future-proof and compliant to broader IndEA standards and guidelines NIC EA Initiative

Business Reference Model (Level 1)
Core Support Ancillary Enabling (ICT) Affiliations Admissions Examination Academics Placement Administrations Audits Finance Human resources Asset management Procurement and auctions ICT operations Software services Information services Research Services and Projects For the sake of understanding, we have catergorized Level 0 capabilities into four groups: Core capabilities are essentially a part of the university value chain like admissions, academics, course management, student and faculty services focusing on the activities which an university is expected to perform Support capabilities are the non – core capabilities which are essential to run core functions of an university but does not contribute to the value chain. This includes attendance, administration, budgeting, financial accounting, HR, payroll. Ancillary capabilities would include specific components which are considered as an add-on component to enhance the university value offerings and may not be required by all universities. They help in improving the overall experience of an university and would include canteen, hostel, guest house and transport management. Enabling capabilities include the ICT enabled foundation capabilities which help the university in delivering improved and efficient services. These include portals, s, sms services.
