  10. Methodology: Extensibility • At Phinnx, we understand that the Academia is extremely dependent on data and schools still do custom activities. • So what happens when all your data resides on Phinnx? • With our APIs (release date: TBA) institutions can develop third-party solutions based on their data within our servers (software) www.phinnx.com Oguntade Tope & Olofu Mark

  11. Methodology: who owns/has the data? • It is evident in our framework architecture (aforementioned) that academic data is stored on each institution’s server(hardware+software) • There are additional backup facilities for academic data to those with access including our automated backup option. • Has your server crashed? We will bring you back online from our backup www.phinnx.com Oguntade Tope & Olofu Mark

  13. Methodology: Development Model • continuous software development and maintenance culture without additional cost to any institution • Phinnx Community Process (PCP) • Every stakeholder will be adequately represented in the provisioning of problem statements and bug reports • These stakeholders will vote to rank problem statements by relevance, coverage and urgency among other factors • The Phinnx Team will make best effort in ensuring the above recommendation is respected www.phinnx.com Oguntade Tope & Olofu Mark
