Sv Solution 20

Sv Technical architecture 21

Sv Solution based on Oracle and Microsoft  Supplier preference based on the Gartner Magic Quadrant  Existing data warehouse is based on Oracle  Microsoft an Oracle require no changes to the data warehouse  Not happy with Oracle Oracle Data Warehouse is kept SQL server SQL Analysis Services Tabular for visualization  Supports required ADs 22 Components

Sv Microsoft applications  Instructions could be better  New technology with steep learning curves Unstable user requirements  Partly due to delayed development environment  Missed competence regarding best practices in Sharepoint design Redesigning ETL flows is very taxing The full report (in Swedish)  utrapport_v_2.pdf utrapport_v_2.pdf 23 Project analysis and conclusions (so far)

Sv The Ladok3 approach Reporting and data access 24

Sv Established 2011 Will replace the whole existing Ladok system with a new solution  Total estimated cost app. MSEK 300 Second delivery to a test environment (MIT) coming up now  Supports reporting of results Implementation in four steps starting in April 2015 Final implementations start in 2017 SOA-based solution  Atom feeds  REST  No direct access to the database More information   The Ladok3 project

Sv No external direct access to the database(s) Updates of information published through Atom feeds Information retrieval from the services through REST interface Updated internal Data Warehouse is updated by the feeds  One DW for each HEI  Can be accessed by ODBC Basic reports supplied with the system  Fiscal reporting  Statistics to SCB (Statistics Sweden) More information  26 Integration with Ladok3
