NGSSNGSS Project Updates Project Updates
¨ Pennant was selected as the name for the portfolio of applications the team is delivering• The name was selected from over 100 entries submitted by the
University community• The name is meant to connote “championship quality, collegiate life and
festivity”• The name also “gracefully alludes to Ellucian’s Banner software”• Pennant also shows institutional affiliation – “Penn + Banner = Pennant!”
Adam Sherr• An announcement was made in the April 22nd, 2014 edition of The
Almanac http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/volumes/v60/n31/ngssname.html#sthash.1ANluIak.dpuf

NGSSNGSS Project Updates – AR Conversion and Integration Project Updates – AR Conversion and Integration
¨ Completed data mapping of all AR related data
¨ Defined population of students to be included in Release 1
¨ Conducted initial round of data conversion
¨ Mapped over 70 distinct integration points to the application
¨ Currently working on design and development of all integrations, including the AR ‘Feeder Application’, which will consolidate over 30 of the integrations into a single application

NGSSNGSS Project Updates – Academic Data in Release 1 Project Updates – Academic Data in Release 1
¨ The Academic Structure implemented in Release 1 of Pennant will include only what is required to support Student Accounts
¨ Academic records will reflect what is in SRS, which remains the system of record for that data throughout Release 1
¨ Tuition Calculation will still occur in SRS during Release 1
¨ Release 1 decisions which affect core curricula data will be reviewed with School and Central representatives
¨ Decisions such as consolidating Penn’s current career structure are not needed until Release 2

NGSSNGSS Reporting Planning Reporting Planning
¨ Reporting Assumptions and Constraints
• Reporting will be made available to all users requiring access• In general, currently supported tools will be employed for report delivery• Most reporting will be delivered from Oracle RDBMS data stores• Certain reports will be delivered via a static reporting environment• Report delivery from the various environments will be based on user
requirements• Project budget and schedule will allow for the implementation of required
reporting tools and environments• Strategies for later releases will be addressed during those implementations• Cross-collection reporting will be available via the Data Warehouse• Access to reporting will be based on users’ positions and roles
Student Data User Group May 22nd, 2014

NGSSNGSS Reporting Planning Reporting Planning
¨ The Strategy for Release 1 Reporting is to deliver a multi-tier reporting environment for Student Accounts data• Operational Reports delivered directly via Banner software, run against the
production environment• Operational Reports against an Operational Data Store – a near real time
reporting environment• Other reports run against an Operational Data Store• Point-in-time operational reports delivered via a static reporting environment,
such as Penn’s current implementation of systemware’s content integrator, ORM
• Point-in-time reports delivered via a set of static reporting tables• Data Warehouse reports through new tables and structures in the existing
Warehouse environment

NGSSNGSS Operational Data Store Operational Data Store
¨ The Operational Data Store (ODS) will be a near real time copy of a subset of Pennant tables
¨ Data synchronization will be enabled via TCVision software, which allows for both Adabas to Oracle and Oracle to Oracle data replication
¨ In most cases, the tables will be direct copies of production data
¨ In certain tables, there may be some data decoding and de-normalization
¨ The ODS allows us to move some operational reporting off the production database, and will increase timeliness of reporting and data access for certain users and applications

NGSSNGSS Data Warehouse Data Warehouse
¨ The current BRS tables in the Data Warehouse will continue to exist, but will no longer be refreshed
¨ Student records reporting will continue against the current Warehouse tables until the implementation of Release 2
¨ A new set of tables will be created in the Warehouse and populated from Pennant
¨ Existing processes, such as Tuition Distribution, will be re-written to use the new data and tables
¨ Certain key reports will be centrally provided against the new data tables
¨ Mapping tables will be provided to facilitate longitudinal and cross-collection reporting
¨ An analysis is underway to determine the feasibility of converting legacy Warehouse tables into the new structures
