An information system to help take decisions
at the University. The following characteristics are
taken into account:
To be endowed with flexibility of analysis:
different concepts and different work levels.
To allow a simple and quick use.
To share information.
To provide consistent and reliable information.
To integrate all the management information
into a single business model.
To define the right exploitation tool for each
of the different user profiles.
To create a system capable of subsequent growth.
The design of the data repository has
passed through various stages from the requirement analysis
and prioritisation to the introduction and start-up.
A Business Intelligence architecture
has been chosen that allows for the integration of the
information from its creation to its strategic management
by the university's directors.
Likewise, an OLAP (Online Analytical
Processing) tool is used, required to process the information.
The UOC uses Oracle's Discoverer to analyse data and
carry out enquiries. Moreover, levels of access have
been established depending on each user's role.
