Chahul聽said聽鈥淭he first step is to harmonise the data in one place, that is where we came in and we are not just harmonising the data into one place,聽which will be housed by the data centre there.
鈥淲e are also building a custom habitation for the university that will be used in crunching that data to get information for informed decision making.
鈥淲e are training people that will take over the application and database and begin to put it into full use, bringing all the data from all the departments and units through the database and begin to crunch it for information purposes.鈥
