Project Background NIC EA Initiative
Development of digital blueprint for One Government If India is to make big strides in e-Governance and climb up steeply on the EGDI, we need to rise above designing individual projects. We need to architect the big vision of Digital India. Chairperson, Enterprise Architecture Working Group (India) NIC EA Initiative
India Enterprise Architecture (IndEA) Framework The vision of IndEA is to enable ONE Government Ministry Domain Specific EA aligned to IndEA States Local Bodies PSU NIC EA Initiative
Complexities and Challenges of Higher Education Sector • Diversity in Universities structure • Functional autonomy of universities • Regional imbalance of education opportunities in States • Uneven distribution of Universities and Institutions • Varied Regional / State requirements • Multiple regulatory bodies for specialized universities • Different ICT maturity levels of eGovernance readiness NIC EA Initiative
Our understanding of University sector has matured and improved through… • Video Conference • 2 rounds of video conferences held with NIC State units including Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Karnataka, Bihar, Odisha, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh • 9 NIC State units participated in the workshop • Regional workshops • 5 Regional workshops conducted in Delhi, Shillong, Chandigarh, Patna, Bengaluru • 20 States / UTs representatives participated in the workshops • 107 Universities participated • 250+ participants from universities, NIC state units and State Education Directorates NIC EA Initiative
Summary of Video Conferences conducted with NIC State Units 10+ solutions 38+ Universities 7 Center + States / UTs ~10 modules ~100 sub-modules 1 5 Ministry of Tourism Chhattisgarh 2 6 Karnataka Odisha 3 7 Bihar Uttarakhand 4 Kerala NIC EA Initiative
It was understood from the workshops that … University Enterprise Architecture Framework seeks to establish the foundational design for preparing common & generic configurable ERP solution tailored for Indian Universities • There is a need for a common generic ERP solution which covers all business domains and solutions of Universities. • There is an acute challenge faced by universities in terms of availability of reliable hosting / cloud infrastructure solutions. NIC EA Initiative
Why Enterprise Architecture ????? • Isolated attempts and solutions have their common problems ranging from scalability to interoperability • They are unlikely to be cost effective and are difficult to sustain • Enterprise Architecture Approach brings • Cost reduction • Technology Standardization • Process Improvements • Strategic differentiation • Change management • To empower enterprise Competitiveness NIC EA Initiative
Tailored University Enterprise Architecture Framework from IndEA Higher Education Sector EA aligned to IndEA framework University Enterprise Architecture Framework Universities ecosystem NIC EA Initiative
Can universities participate and collaborate under this initiative? • This blueprint will be designed and developed for the Universities and the external eco-system. • We would request all types (public, private-aided, central, state) of universities to participate in this transformative and landmark initiative • You can collaborate and participate in either of the ways: • Contribute in the development of the EA framework for universities – • Share your inputs or implementation examples and architectures in the 8 EA domains (business, data, application, technology, application integration, security, governance and performance) • Partner with NIC to develop the roadmaps and solutions • Pilot • Test and adopt the ERP solution NIC EA Initiative

University Enterprise Architecture Overview NIC EA Initiative
University Enterprise Architecture Framework to eGov solution roadmap University Architecture University Framework University business landscape University specific ERP implementation Comprehensive University ERP Solution NIC EA Initiative
How do we plan to approach the design of University Enterprise Architecture Framework? • IndEA will be the common reference point for developing the architectural blueprint for UEAF • Discussions and interactions are being held with NIC state units who have developed some isolated solutions for university, universities and ministry and state departments to identify wish lists, concerns, challenges and requirements- Gain from their experience and to take it as a base point • Series of Workshops will be held to present the findings and study observations to define the overall Business Layer (organization structure and variants, business and service, integration and interoperability and common data exchange requirements) with university and external stakeholders – Interaction with university officials/Domain Experts , students, parents etc and build upon further NIC EA Initiative
How do we plan to approach the design of University Enterprise Architecture Framework? … (Contd.) • A team of NIC, HRD official and key University representatives is constituted to firm up the Business layer. • Once the architecture blueprint is created, a prioritized list of initiatives will be identified which are immediately required by the participating universities and implementation plan will be developed. • The interested University could adopt UEAF to create their own specific UEA • UEAF would guide us in preparing common & generic configurable ERP solution for Indian Universities • This ERP solution can be configured as per UEA resulting in University specific eGov solution • These standards and architecture blueprints may be submitted to IndEA working group for adoption as a national university EA reference model NIC EA Initiative
UEAF is an abstract framework for Indian Universities to develop their own architectures IndEA Guides UEAF UEAF intends to include all possible functional aspects of any Indian university. In a way, it represents a superset university from where the structural and functional needs could be depicted using the basic elements included herein.

Yet the building blocks (organization structure templates, functions, entities, interfaces) would be common / reusable / configurable across universities for ~90% cases whereas for ~10% cases the unique university requirements would be specifically catered to. NIC EA Initiative
UEAF to UEA • UEAF will be prepared comprising of business, data, application, technology, integration, security, performance & governance layers • The details for business layer would be worked outin extensive consultation with University officials • The remaining layers would be worked out by the UEAF team. • The bottom layers depicts the architecture of any given university would be an instance of UEAF. • UEAF would also guide in the architecting a common and configurable ERP solution. • The instance of this configurable ERP solution would be the e-Governance solution for specific University.
