PRINCIPLES
1. Business Driven Architecture
All Information, Communications, and Technology (ICT) shall be traceable back to a University reason for existing.
2. Isolation of Business Rules
Wherever practical, applications shall isolate and centralize the specification and maintenance of business rules and not embed those rules throughout the application.
3. Common Vocabulary and Data Definitions
Data is defined consistently throughout the enterprise, and the definitions are understandable and available to all users.
4. Data Trustee
Each data element has a trustee accountable for data quality.
5. Technology Independence
Applications are independent of specific technology choices and therefore can operate on a variety of technology platforms.
6. Compliance with regulatory bodies and legislation
Management of information in De La Salle University will comply with the following relevant legislation:
• Data Privacy Act of 2012
• e-Commerce Act of 2000, Cybercrime Prevention Act
• Labor Laws
• BIR, CHED, DepEd, DOLE
• Customs
7. No One Gets Left Behind
Manage the impact of the reorganization of roles as a result of ERP implementation.
8. Use Process as Organizational Glue
Standard processes drive predictability, reliability, consistency, and efficiency
9. Cultivate and Identify Leaders
As the complexity of real-time info increases, the question of who makes decisions also changes
10. Develop discipline in Change Readiness
Organization redesign includes a significant change in roles, skills, knowledge, perspective, alignment, peers and processes.
The greater the change, the capacity to absorb and integrate the change decreases.
11. ICT Investments are aligned with the core activities of the University
We want to avoid failures of IT investments due to lack of governance, proper interventions, and support. IT investments and projects need to be coordinated: timing-wise, budget-wise and resource-wise; as well as how it fits with other IT investments and projects.
We want to ensure IT investments fit overall architecture, as well as to reduce or eliminate stove-pipe (or disjoint) systems within the University.
