GENERAL INTRODUCTION

The world has entered in a stage of economic and cultural globalization in which many of the political, economic and ideological barriers that separated to the towns disappear and where the companies act in a market of world environment. You is in a stage of mundialización of problems and solutions where everything is interrelated and where the open competition demands to adapt continually to the demands of the clients and to offer a maximum quality.

This way in this interrelation, the citizens of the world of the XXI century cohabit with fabulous machines and materials: computers, telematic nets, environments multimedia, formats hipermediales that provide potent tools for the treatment of the information, and they allow to establish communication networks that facilitate a speedy circulation of people, all told goods, money and information the planet. But these constant scientific advances, promote new securities, they cause continuous transformations and necessities that make necessary the permanent formation.

These changes in the society and for ende in the University make that a new university culture is forging. To achieve this it is necessary that we adapt all (administration, docencia, superior address, students...) to a new conception of the University that he/she helps us to define the paper that must play, the functions that it must develop, the necessities to those that must give answer, the working methods that it must change, etc.

These changes are deep and they belong to what is known as culture of the organizations. In Nicaragua this culture change comes also determined by the growing offer formative university student that explains to you, among other causes, for the number of new universities that you/they have been created.

The factors that affect the culture change directly in the Autonomous National University of Nicaragua (Unite-Managua) they are the technology, the computer instruments, the access and excess of information, the growing necessity of very diversified continuous formation, the increase of professors, the transformation of the function educational-university student, the realization of investigations more multidisciplinares and grupales, the exchanges with other more and more frequent and intense countries, and the impact of the technological development in the academic practice and of address.

The features of our university are determining for the university of masses, bigger demand of quality, flexibility in their structures and offers of teachings, diversification territorial, bigger competitive pressure, tension between the teaching and the investigation, demands for increase in the budget with the rising incidence in the domestic economy.

These fundamental features take to among other: a bigger commitment to carry out strategic projects, a decentralized address, development of capacities to respond to an entrance bigger than students, will and competition to assume the advantages of the new technological acquisitions once they are acquired.

Adjusted to this reality the Autonomous National University of Nicaragua - Unite-Managua - supported by the Swedish agency for the Development (Asdi/SAREC) in coordination with the other national universities of Nicaragua is developing a project in Technologies of the Information and the Communication. All this with the objective of creating that in agreement new university culture with the advances of the computer science's era, in such a way that the higher education can develop the key abilities for the success of the students among them communication abilities, basic knowledge of the mathematics, use of the TIC and to learn how to learn.

This project of Technologies of the Information and of the Communication in our university consists: in a basic Infrastructure (hardware and software) for the communication (UnanNet); Formation, specialization and Training; System of Information for the Library; System of Information of Academic Registration; System of Financial Information; teaching Program and learning for the different modalities (regular, sabatinos, for encounter, at distance) applied by means of TIC.

The above-mentioned will contribute a series of advantages to the such Unite-Managua as: I support to the administrative administration of the centers, facilitating an automated, decentralized and shared administration; internal and external communication of the Nicaraguan university community; easiness for the relationships of international collaboration and the achievement of the academic excellence as culmination of the superior education in our Alma Mater.

DEFINITION OF PROJECTS

 

Basic infrastructure (hardware and software) for the communication (UnanNet)

 

Introduction.

Along every year the Unite-Managua has lacked an infrastructure of integral net that allows him the internal and external communication among the different Abilities, Centers of Investigation and Regional Centers, which is made through the one he/she sent bidirectional of floppy disks and visits that makes the so much executive staff of the central headquarters toward the Abilities, Regional Centers and of Investigation and vice versa, little or any relationship among educational of the same areas of the knowledge and investigators, is not collaborative work among the students from the university to national and international level among other, this impacts in the backwardness for the upgrade of the different systems of information that you/they are of vital importance in the efficient and effective development of the university work.

At the present time the Unite-Managua has a Main Node of Internet that offers two types of services to the university Enclosure Rubén Darío (RURD), Access to Internet via LAN and Access to Internet via modem.

For the access to Internet via modem has an obsolete rack (I model, descontinuado) of communications for access dial-up. In total they have 16 módems, 5 of these they are damaged. There is capacity to give services to 11 users in a simultaneous way through telephone line, 9 through extensions of the internal plant and 2 through numbers of public services.

The number of users of Internet via modem is very limited so much inside the administrative area as academic for deficiency in the internal phone system, the lack of appropriate team (computers without MODEM) and the drops speeds for the access of INTERNET.

For the service to Internet via LAN has a switch Model Catalyst 1900 obsolete, model descontinuado and without capacity of growth, which has 24 ports of 10Mbps and 2 of 100Mbps, a router model CHAOS 2500 that he/she doesn't have capacity of growth, neither of upgrade and it is a model descontinuado, a digital MODEM Paradyne XXX (physical access for the commercial supplier of Internet) and two PC currents transformed into servants for the central node, both have limited capacity by heart, storage and prosecution. Through this service is given by means of local nets to the Library, computer department and department of Physics of the RURD.

The connection of the computer department and of Physics to the main node of they UNITE it he/she makes through direct connection of fiber optic using convertors of means (fiber optic to UTP). It also exists in they UNITE it two small nets LAN located in the Ability of the Education and program of Master of Sexual and Reproductive Health, which have connection to Internet in an independent way through two commercial suppliers of Internet (IFX, Cablenet).

The existent nets LAN are: group master, group education ability and group B1 (library, computer department and department of Physics) those that are completely independent and they don't have physical connection among if.

All the above-mentioned shows that the reflective type of described team a faulty service for the few accesses that can be made besides that it is not possible that the university community (20000 students, 780 professors and 400 office workers) he/she makes a massive use of the services of Internet. Others of the factors that affect the continuous operability are the lack of an appropriate and efficient system of electric back and air conditioning.

The software used in the main node of Internet of the University is not upgraded in an appropriate way, that which causes safe-deposit deficiencies and limitations in the services of Internet lent in the university community and hardware conflict (since this it is not upgraded in an appropriate way). An example of this is the software for the generation and efficient creation of pages web which is acquired and used in an illegal way.

Not having the hardware infrastructure and appropriate software for the distribution of information (I siege web) it affects negatively; since he/she doesn't allow to give to know of form efficient results of investigations and offered courses among others. This constitutes a restrictive of communication with other universities and institutions of superior education that are enrichment sources for the academic work.

The creation of an appropriate net infrastructure for communication of data would establish the bases for the implementation of the voice mail through the net, that which would allow the flowing and efficient communication among the central headquarters (Managua) and the Centers of Investigation, Regional Centers and Abilities, dispersed in different domestic parts, decreasing this way the high and faulty costs of phone communication.

Given the current state of the net infrastructure becomes necessary to create conditions that allow to offer from Internet/Intranet to the university community allowing this way to give a great jump to the University and to locate it inside the technological standards, consequently this makes necessary that an interconnection infrastructure is implemented that provides to the University in its group (students, educational, investigators and administration) to reach acceptable levels of communication and data transmission among the Abilities, Centers of Investigation and Regional Centers.

Objectives.

System of Information of the Library

Introduction.

The Library is some of the services but essentials for the university. The Library is a center of information that provides to the professors and students with the materials that are needed for the teaching and investigation.

Along the history the Library has used the traditional system Melvin Wuey, without taking into account any type of on-line system. He/she went up to 1994 that one of the first versions of the system librarian incorporates MICROISIS through the combined effort of the Unite-Managua, the MED and the National Library of Nicaragua. This version of the system was developed to work in MS-DOS, but not in atmosphere of nets.

At the moment it is continued working with the system MICROISIS and it manages the modules of: it captures and edition of data (feeding of the Database) and recovery service, search and it consults (I classify). This system is only used by the personal one and not for professors, students and investigators.

Although the services Librarians lean on in the system MICROISIS, these they are taken and loaded with an excessive use of manual operations. All that makes the available personnel to neglect the orientation and instruction, reference services, attendance in the investigation and maintenance and creation of bibliographical helps. Consequently this ends up hindering the upgrade and acquisition of knowledge for the users.

The automation is considered one in the best ways of facing the growing demand to give a better service and to improve the deficiencies presented by the services rendered by the library. The idea is to develop a completely on-line integral system that contemplates a storage (through the digitization or microfilms use) and efficient access to the information and that it is able to be interconnected and retroalimentarse with all the other libraries of the Abilities, Regional Centers and of Investigation, and that it establishes a communication nexus with database to world level and nets of libraries (access to magazines, books and abstracts). The library this way will be able to provide essential information for the investigation and teaching in an efficient way.

Objectives.

General:

To develop an automated system of information for the access Library in real time (via Web) efficient and practical in all their operations and services at central level, of abilities, of regional centers and investigation centers.

Specific:

To analyze the different processes that are carried out in the Direction of the Library.

To identify the different processes that will be automated.

I design of the System of Information of the Library in atmosphere of nets.

To develop the System of the Library.

To interconnect the System from the Library to the net of the university.

To elaborate a technical manual and of end user.

Description of the components of the project.

The main components for the system of information of the Library are the following ones:

I modulate of acquisition

This modulates he/she acquires material of information in an efficient way for the collection of the library through purchase, donations and exchange, also providing a reliable form of to control and to report the expenses that originate starting from the funds of acquisition.

This modulates he/she will take charge of processing the following information: bibliographical information of materials, name and addresses of suppliers of books and editorials, financial controls of acquired materials, the librarian's recommendations and status of these recommendations, form of acquisition, control of I not articulate received to generate birdcall, access to the I classify of the bookstore, statistic.

I modulate of consultation

He modulates he/she takes charge of presenting an interface of consultations to the collection (Author, title, matter, etc.), consultations with the help of data, I classify on-line and impression of the consultation (for Regional Centers, Abilities and investigation Centers).

I modulate of Inventory

This modulates he/she takes charge of keeping serial information permanently for reference, this goes him to get by means of generation of ranks of purchases for material of subscriptions and automatic warnings for renovation of wanted subscriptions, reception of materials and birdcall generation for not received materials, to maintain in an up-to-date way and I specify of particulars of the acquired material, on-line access of particulars of current articles and to produce statistical, financial and administrative reports.

I modulate of Circulation and Loan (bar code)

This modulates ready informative material to active users without records and it provides accessibility for the return of we lend them. The tasks that he/she takes charge they are: to determine easy and quickly that that that this in the material in the library and their localization, to send and to return material in an exact way, to verify their potential users is eligible for the loan service, preparation of notes to users with mulberry and reminder, to allow to the articles to be reserved and to provide necessary information when an I articulate it has been returned and to indicate when an user this trying to lend but I articulate of that allowed.

I modulate of classification and cataloguing

He modulates of I classify he/she leaves to take charge of qualifying the books and other documents of the library, it provided registration essentials for the access to the information. The function of this I modulate it is to process the assignment of the bar code, digitization or microfilm placement, impression of the entrance (you register bibliographical), verification of letterheads, pockets and it registers of we lend.

Equally it unites to their position the maintenance and it guards of the Records of the qualifications of the students and any other important information that he/she has to do with the same thing.

Because of the nature of the work and data that are processed, the address of registration academic has direct relationship with all the academic areas of the university, abilities, investigation center, regional centers, student services, medical registration office, graduate degree office and financial address.

Due that many of these processes are carried out in a manual way, considerable delays take place in the academic controls of the students, such as:

The registration process is slow and annoying

The Records of Qualifications don't come out complete

The Reports and Reports are incomplete, with errors (big margin) and late

The information is not safe

The controls are not appropriate

The security of the information is not 100%

The speed and effectiveness of the delivery of the information is not adapted

The statistical information and the process of of obtaining it is slow and annoying

For the above-mentioned it is necessary to implement a system of academic registration that allows an administrative service and of student control. These are:

personal registration,

academic registration,

yield analysis,

registration and admission,

exams,

courses,

information has more than enough access of resources and professors,

calendar of classes,

curricular control,

control of courses,

control financial of the students,

system of on-line database (via Web) for search and reports of data related to the students and statistic.

The implementation of the System of Registration Academic goes to allow to give one restored more efficient to the necessity of information of the personnel in charge of the abilities and of the personnel of the area of the central academic registration in more efficient form that the partially automated system that so far one has come using. What is pursued therewith is to improve the security of the information and the offered services to the students and other institutional framework this is gotten through an automated process of data that keeps, it recovers and it controls the whole registration information at operational level (admission, registration, exams and grade exams, etc.) and also administrative tasks as planning, evaluation and taking of decisions.

Also to speed up the capacity of transactions of data decentralized with the one that one works at the moment, the student's academic yield, planning and the student's general registration, in agreement with the current growth and the students' future, academic programs, etc.

This system automated at the moment in comparison with the procedures in use, would come to improve the function ability of the procedures according to the requirements to optimize the planning, control and evaluation processes related with the academic analysis of the students and the quality of the academic programs.

Others of the benefits that it would be obtained would be to provide to the university with a database of the students that can be maintained, managed and upgraded by all the areas of the same one, which need for their nature personal data of the students, academic record and curricular data.

Description of the components of the project.

The main components for the system of information of Registration Academic are the following ones:

Module of Registration of the Program Academic Course

To strengthen the development it programs academic and course calendar, the university has to maintain a great quantity of data in each academic course, this module provides to the abilities and regional centers the capacity to administer and to maintain a database with the characteristic of a course, some of the main characteristics contained in this database are: identification of the course, description, organizational method (you confer, laboratories), restrictions (prerrequisito, graduate), resources requeridos(equipos, class living room, materials for the course, books), required academic abilities and students' maximum number for class.

Module of Plans of Study and Programs and class Calendar

This module supports the coordination of the approved subjects, the class living room and the professor (and other resources) available. Also help to determine where and when and during that term the subjects, they will be offered. The main data maintained by this module are: requirements of spaces (you date, special equipment, calendar, responsible person, I use and assignment facilities), calendar of classes (numeric badge of subject, professor, place, period of time and restriction).

Location module and admission

This module provides the action to register and to store data and the student's information, it embraces the admission process and the student's registration, upgrade of the student's personal data and historical registrations.

Registration module and control of the student's yield

This module allows that to the admitted students it is assigned him the number of identity, ability, career and/or it programs, the subjects and it enables them to arrive to classes. Also this supposition to incorporate the calendar of subjects in which is the student with the offered subject during the academic period. Example of this is: the student's identification, subjects, schedules, payment status, hours, etc.

This module also contains the registration of the results of the exams, works, systematic and the students' final qualifications. It tries with academic activities carried out by the students and results obtained by these. For example notes for subject, attendance, qualifications of other universities or school, historical indicators of payment, disciplinary control and academic status.

Storage module and Receipt of the information

This module besides showing the whole stored information, will be able to print data provided by the system, as for example note certificate, diploma, registration of qualifications, control card, form for renovation of it registers, it lists of exams, confirmation of exams. Administration of the the information, as for example statistical report related with the student's social status, the student's progress, percentage of graduate, percentage of those that move away class and been by subjects.

Module of Statistical

Report statistical related with students' number for ability, career and sex; for cycles academic; inscription percentage for nucleus; students of first entrance for ability, and academic cycle; index of the students' occupation for academic cycle; inscription for ability and country of nationality, state ci and age in the academic cycle; you Grant a scholarship and discharges in the academic cycle; total of having graduated by career and ability; evolution of the registration for careers in the academic year; total registration and their distribution for sex; evolution of it registers it per annum of first entrance academic, projection of it registers it for the next five year period, personal educational for category and abilities in the academic cycle; evolution of the educational personnel in the academic year; receipts and payments of the Unite-Managua in the academic year, distribution for nuclei of the one presupposed of the Unite-Managua in the academic year.

System of Financial Information

Introduction.

Before 1996 the University didn't have any type of automated system for the financial area. The processes were carried out then in a manual way and they were repetitive, inefficient and very few clearings; providing inadequate information for the taking of decisions. He/she went up to 1996 that an automated system was acquired developed by a Mexican Company. This system already takes almost working 6 years and it only embraces accounting modules, banks, inventory and fixed files. It also contemplates two modules but that are not at the moment in use (you count to get paid and you count to pay) but that they are still in supporting process and adaptation.

Additionally the center of I compute of the university it has developed the modules of it nominates, box, bank reconciliation, you count to get paid and you count to pay so that they run in a parallel way with the system in use. The system this designed to work in atmospheres of nets but with a safe-deposit minimum. One of the factors that contribute to that the system is not very safe is that it is not had a dedicated servant for the same one. Also this designed to work in a centralized way, this always requiring of changes and it doesn't contemplate all the necessary modules so that he/she works in an integral way.

All this results in that you/they cannot take decisions to give answer in time and it forms to the necessities and expectations of the administrative authorities and academic sector. The current system doesn't allow to identify the sources of finance for the execution of expenses that he/she makes but taken the necessary time for the authorization of the same ones. The fact that the system is not integrated and that independent modules exist he/she results since in the redundancy of information much of her he/she has to be recorded so much in the current system as in the modules developed by the center of I compute.

The expansion of the University in a near future not only intensified if it didn't also diversify the financial operations, the volume of transactions has already been increased at a level that requires an integral automation. The establishment of a sustainable and administrable financial system of information is consequently something I criticize and of vital importance for what becomes necessary the implementation of a new integral system that is able to process in a sure way all the financial operations.

Objectives.

General:

To develop an automated financial system of information that controls and apply from way efficient processes of financial administration to central level of abilities, regional centers and investigation centers.

Specific:

To analyze the different processes that are carried out in the Financial Direction.

To identify the different processes that will be automated.

I design of the System of Financial Information in atmosphere of nets.

To develop the Financial System.

To interconnect the Financial System to the net of the university.

To elaborate a technical manual and of end user.

 

Description of the components of the project.

The main components for the system of financial information are the following ones:

I modulate of Accounting

He modulates of accounting it provided periodic countable reports and income tax returns, costs and balances when it is required, it will allow to create the bills of Ledger and to define since the period of financial planning of the university it will also produce a list of bills maintained by the countable system, other modules provided data to the I modulate of ledger, the bills of the ledger will also be connected to the budget of the ledger.

I modulate of Fixed asset

He modulates of fixed asset it maintains registrations of teams, estates and other assets that it possesses the university. The registrations include the original cost of the assets, the depreciation range in each asset or group of active, the accrued depreciation so far the current value of the assets or the original cost less the accrued depreciation, the transactions financiares taken place for this I modulate they will be used for the I modulate of the ledger to maintain long term up-to-date balances of several assets in the bills of the university.

I modulate Bills to get paid

I modulate of bills to get paid it will allow the users to register, to upgrade and to erase concerning information to changes for bought products and services rendered to employees and students, the type of data of which fed the I modulate of bills to get paid it includes debtors' upgrade in the registration teacher, sales and invoices and debtors' received payments, the bills that you recepcionan will be able to care or to use data interactively of personal (employees) maintained inclusive by the system of human resources it can provide data of financial transactions that it feeds to the I modulate of accounting and to receive data of carried out purchases.

I modulate of Bills to Pay

This modulates it will allow the users to register, to upgrade and to erase information related to those worthy of the university (people or other organizations) it also provided information at operational level that can be used to program payments to creditors. The data of which he/she fed this I modulate they will be the creditors' data teachers, information on the bill of the creditors and registrations of receipts. He modulates of bills to pay debit side to provide data of financial transactions to the I modulate of ledger and to receive data of purchases.

I modulate of schedule and payment of wages

This modulates he/she kept a registration of the wages, retentions viáticos and incentives for the whole personnel that this employee for the university. You should include like part of the data to be recorded the employee's personal data, functions (contract type and classification of the employment), wage, deductions, absences, hours extras, additional allowed maxima (rent of houses, INSS and sure), benefits (for example periodic ascents) and special arrangements (E.g. Employments of half time). He modulates it will be able to calculate list of transferred money, receipts of payment, payment of GOING and I pay of employees (respecting regulations of the ministry of the work). It leaves of the needy data for the prosecution of the wages it was inside the I modulate of human resources (Contracts, employees, absences and hours extras). It will also include maintenance of the usual components of the schedule, I calculate automatic of the total wage, impression of individual receipts of payment and wage leaves (detail of payments), cost accounting and generation of vouchers of payments with interface to the ledger system.

I modulate of budget

He modulates of budget it is vital in the taking of decisions in the university since help to the same one to reach their goals by means of the organization of their resources. The budget inside the university is the process of presenting in quantitative form the planned activities of the University for a period of given time, the budget that you/they are the prepared quantitative elements through the budgetary process includes such elements as projected revenues and expenses. The budget typically is prepared and controlled by the university like an everything (department, abilities, investigation centers, etc.).

A budget system often this in near relationship with the I modulate of the ledger. This allows to the budgotten quantities to be introduced by the account number. The wornout or received current quantities are registered by means of the I modulate of the ledger or by means of I modulate for bill to pay. Periodically, weekly, monthly or annually or I lower it bases periodic the budgetary quantities and the current expenses can be compared and reported. Examples of this are resources of comparative current budget with entrance and expense of a date specifies; budget variant or he/she differs between projected quantities or current cost, resources of comparative current budget to resources of the last year.

The reports of budgets will be prepared every so often by the abilities, investigation centers, regional centers and for the university like an alone one.

I modulate of consultation with the help of Data

For the access to report and consultation the countable database of the university will be used by the administration of the abilities and departments, it can also be beneficial to use applications for end user, such as leaves of works and graphics to analyze the budget and current expense. These applications will allow the administrators to make observations about the budget.

I modulate of audit

This modulates you attended with the audit of the expense of the university and countable processes.

I modulate of inventory

This modulates it takes a control of the chattels and immovableses, I calculate of the paying-off of the patrimony contemplating the whole casuistry and registration of historical and computer goods.

I modulate of Projects

This modulates it takes the control of the rregistros of all the data associated to the investigation projects and investment, the budgetary one and for concepts of the expenses and revenues of the project, the retentions of general expenses, the justification of the funds and the control automatic transfers of funds among projects.

System of Human resources

Introduction.

The human resources inside the university play a fundamental paper since inside the same one they are these those that allow us to reach the objectives and goals of these. These resources should be used appropriately due to the difficulty of to find and to maintain their high cost.

Because most of the expenses of an university concentrates in “human resources “it becomes necessary to concentrate special efforts on the development and control of these.

The use of manual systems based on the software support like the electronic spreadsheets and word processors presents weaknesses for what becomes necessary to find an alternative to improve the service that you offers to the worker.

The above-mentioned has given origin to a series of such problems as:

Difficult access to the data.

Too much information in paper to be administered efficiently by the personnel.

Slowness to generate the information on time.

Objectives.

General:

To develop an automated system of information of human resources that controls and apply from way efficient administration processes to central level, of abilities, of regional centers and investigation centers.

Specific:

To analyze the different processes that are carried out in the Direction of Human resources.

Indentificar the different processes that will be automated.

I design of the System of Information of Human resources in atmosphere of nets.

To develop the System of Human resources.

To interconnect the System of Human resources to the net of the university.

To elaborate a technical manual and of end user.

Description of the components of the project.

With the purpose of improving the levels of efficiency in the internal check of the information this system will contemplate the following areas: control of personal, file unit, payroll office and attention to the worker.

File unit

This component of the system should constantly upgrade the information of the personnel of the institution, what will allow consultations to workers' files and generation of reports (such as: Changes of educational categories, trabajadores(activos Classification, of low, change), economic Recognitions for years of service).

Office of Payroll

This component of the system should complete in time and it forms the elaboration of you nominate, of ranks of payments, INSS, to GO, deductions and reports (it has more than enough payments and expenses), control of wages and control of own funds.

Attention to the worker

With this component of the system it is sought to offer a good attention to the worker guaranteeing the benefits that are granted by means of expense controls electronically. This module will also include on-line administration of attention odontológica, services oftalmológicos, payment of viáticos of transport, administration bottom for pension, rent of housings, lingering permits, nutritious subsidies, control of vacations and control of attendance of the executive staff.

Personal

This component should process information related with political of human resources, requirement plans of personal to short and I release term, recruiting of personal, acting evaluation, training of personal, gives up and discharge of personal.

Organization of the project.

Phase 1: Analysis and design of the system, including the politicians of Human resources.
