UG2017 Strategic Direction



• Non-Core– Options/Sub-Systems that are considered to be

peripheral, incidental or secondary and if left out, would still allow the system to retain it’s primary functionality. Sub-systems like Vehicle Tracking and Venue Bookings.

• Core– Options/Sub-Systems that are of central importance

and are considered to be fundamental to the system as a whole. These Options/Sub-Systems are required for the system to retain it’s primary functionality and as such are the key focus areas for the development plan. Sub-systems like Student Debtors and Counter/Cashbook

Roadmap


New Strategy!

• Speed up software delivery through a more modern release cycle strategy

What does it mean?

• Move away from a “Big Bang” release every 2 years to multiple “Incremental and Iterative” releases in a single year

Welcome to Integrator 4.1


ITS INTEGRATOR 4.1 Benefits

Speedy Software Delivery

• Modern Release Cycle Strategy

Incremental and Iterative releases in a single year

• Improved devOps

• Less patches, a fixed patch schedule that allows for planned application


To answer some questions

• So what is this Integrator 4.1 mumbo jumbo?– It will be the last major upgrade project for the medium term

– It uses the latest available technology stack (Weblogic 12c)

– Will be fully supported and continuously enhanced

• But what does this mean for Integrator 5?– All Integrator 5 development done during 2017 is now available in Integrator 4.1

– Any further development for the medium term will happen on the Integrator 4.1 platform and will be rolled out on the new release cycle strategy

• Is Integrator 3 dying a painful death?– Integrator 3 is still supported, but not enhanced

– Enhancements to the standard software will be done in the Integrator 4.1 platform

Reporting

• Jasper Server– More for Business Intelligence

• Jasper Studio– More for Fixed Template reports


So what does Jasper offer?

• Enabling you to centrally manage your Jaspersoft reports and analytic views

• Delivering mission critical information on a real-time or scheduled basis to the browser, mobile device, or email inbox in a variety of file formats


Answers to the Reporting Questions

What do our clients want out of reporting?

Studio Server

Discontinue Jasper

• Session 36 & 37 -Discussion Forum - Student Finance


Jasper - FYI

• All Oracle Reports (.rdf) in Integrator 4.1 will be discontinued over time.

• However, not all will be replaced with Jasper reports and some may become C programs or PL*SQL programs.

• Some current C programs may be replaced with Jasper reports where sensible.

• Although Oracle BI Discoverer is not part of the longer-term solution, it can still be installed with the Integrator 4.1 application server.

• Note that Discoverer Viewer and Discoverer Plus is not certified for the operating system used with Integrator 4.1 (Linux 7).

• The purpose of the Oracle BI Discoverer installation is to allow users at the client time to migrate to Jasper.

• Licensing will be covered by the annual maintenance.


Buzz Word!


Innovation at Adapt IT Education

• A separate Research division that is no longer part of New Release Development

• Partnering with 3rd Party companies to incorporate their innovations with ITS Integrator

• Partnering with clients to jointly research and develop innovative solutions for the issues in educational environment
