Development of the 'To Be' Model

This week has seen the beginning of a new era for Swansea Metropolitan University as it formally merged with University of Wales Trinity St David. To some extent the JISC Smudie project has been in preparation for this event and will contribute to management information systems planning for the new institution. The next phase of the project will use the conclusions drawn from the 'As Is' phase to develop a 'To Be' model that will seek to implement potential improvements in the new operating environment. The model will be based on information management components and on information management scheduling:

This will lead to the revision of information management workflows designed to deliver efficiencies and improved stakeholder support. In particular it is expected to make recommendations with regard to a single student record system and an institutionally managed student attendance monitoring and reporting system.
