Discussion and Summary
1. This system was co-developed with external vendor (18 months)2. Incorporated both traditional SDLC and Agile Methodologies3. While more stable workflow (i.e. the DB and workflow engine) will be
“fixed”, peripheral applications will change based on new requirements
4. Focus on the end-product functional specs5. Easily scalable– addition of new modules (i.e. SkillsFuture, CEX, etc)
without affecting others6. Data analysis possible without any impact on DB (Microstrategy,
Tableau, SPSS, etc) – localized dedicated DB7. Module within module - Student performance analysis
(CGPA/academic warning system) 8. Achieved 100% online transactions (100% paperless)
