Information System
UK Information System (IS UK) consists of a “network” of interconnected systems, applications and other components, the core of which consists of a central HR application Whois Information System Study (IS Study), UK Central Authentication Service (CAS) and payroll system Elanor Global Java Edition (EGJE). These basic components provide selected data for all downstream systems and applications such as OBD system for registration of publishing, word processing application for scholarships to support scholarships, accommodation and social system of the Grant Agency of Charles University (UK GA) applications to support the agenda of Erasmus, the Accreditation Application management of accredited study programs and fields of study, professional advice and guarantors degree programs and courses, student theses repository, application for issue of cards and registration certificates issued by the university, economic systems, the system central registration of documents connected to the national information system of data boxes and a number of smaller applications, as operated for the university as a whole and individual faculties for their needs.
Individual parts of the UK IS and their mutual interface through continuous development, from both the legal requirements and the needs and requirements of its users and motivated by computerization other areas of university administration and tighter data linking individual agendas. Individual parts of the UK IS originated at different times, which is evident in their appearance and functionality. The intention is therefore older parts of the system, particularly those with large user communities, gradually varied to suit the current needs of users as well as current trends in information technology.
Currently the biggest challenge in developing IS UK is to undertake the redesign of the study information system for students, job seekers, study and guest users, who together form the largest group of users significantly this system. In addressing this task was carried out in 2013 a competition to design the graphic user interface of the system and create a custom user interface design in prototype form. This proposal will be used as part of the brief for the competition on its own implementation of this system and its connection interface to other system components. This competition will be announced in the first half of 2014.
Among other tasks in the field of IS UK were recently implemented, it is possible to appoint the completion of modules IS studies to support the agendas of state testing, innovation module for recording the results of study requirements, a new module for support of applications for recognition of learning outcomes, a new module for support evidence of student internships, adding applications to study the possibility of credit card payments, the English version of GA UK enabling work of foreign opponents, significant new applications of Personnel WhoIs support for the conclusion of labor relations, including the addition of workflow for processing employment documents (proposals at the conclusion of working contracts and agreements for work and for work), which is taking place at the gradual commissioning of the individual faculties UK, linking the registration of grants and grant support for projects on the agenda of economic systems faculties and create a new system of central registration of documents connected with the Information System data boxes.
In the following period, in addition to the aforementioned redesign of the study information system, work on completion of final repositories of works by students of other search options, completion of application Habilion to support habilitation and appointment management, HR applications WhoIs completion of the computerization of other areas (such as requests for leave, remuneration proposals, statements of work under contracts of work and work) and create a document repository, which would be different university systems and applications can use to store and manage documents.
