I gratefully acknowledge my indebtness to my friends who helped me a lot in searching for the
information. They have been a great source of inspiration for me .I have been receiving a number
of suggestions and comments from them but it is not possible to acknowledge their names in the
term paper individually. I also owe my gratitude to my parents who provided me with the
resources that helped me in the completion of this term paper.
No words are sufficient to express my gratitude to my subject teacher Mr. Anupinder Singh for
his exemplary support and guidance.
Any constructive comments, suggestions and criticism will be highly appreciated and gratefully
acknowledged.

Human resources
These components are connected by web devices and database couplings and import/export
functions. InfoTech basically implements a service oriented architecture but a little bit of
heterogeneity can be accepted.
Functions for administration staff and parts of the business logic are implemented in the clientserver part. The module for management of courses and research is already a pure web
application.

of basic person and
organization information
In the case of UMS of our university designed by InfoTech; students, faculty, staff and all others
access it via a personalized portal. This portal contains a single sign on support (e.g. in case of
students registration number and a password is asked in order to access the UMS) and integrates
all the components as described previously.
The portal can also provide access to a certain amount of functionality and information to an
anonymous user who can be a prospective applicant, a research partner or the general public
searching general information about the university.
Allow staff and/or end users to create corresponding the content (such as assignments,
display marks and grades, display attendance)
BENEFITS
Functionality
o Creates a complex yet a dynamic site.
Efficiency: reduces staff time for administration and maintenance by a great amount
o less technical Web expertise needed(quite simple to use by amateur computer
users in the staff)
o Content staffs focus on content.
o Technical staffs focus on presentation and coding.
Inflexibility
o Customization limited without programming.

The above road map shows a significant overlap between the current generation (GX) and the
new One (HISinOne) . This is necessary, because it cannot be expected that 200+ universities to
switch their enterprise software at the same time. The road map is supplanted by detailed plans
for each year with detailed activities and mile stones. An executive level advisory board does
accompany this project. An important goal is a high level of transparency for all of the involved
partners.
Apart from the planning and organizational activities a technical project infrastructure is also
established in the recent years. A central role has a lot of related cooperative knowledge
management, which is based on enhanced Wiki technology. The well known Media Wiki engine
(whose primary use is Wikipedia) is used for the required purposes. This engine is supplemented
by a sophisticated rights management and other small additions to support the quality
management process.

Requirements and Bugs are traced with the help of a ticket management system HisZilla,
which is based on the proven Bugzilla software. Version management for source code is done
with CVS. The creation of distributable versions and automated testing is carried out by a (self7
made) build management system which does nightly builds. These nightly builds are candidates
for beta tests at partner universities. Major versions are released every year, minor updates
approximately every 3 month.
