Proposta de um sistema de business intelligence para suporte a gestão dos cursos de graduação da Universidade Federal do Pampa

Abstract

Business environments in modern organizations, especially the Universities, have suffered deep transformations in the past few years, and so become more complex, what demands more information from the managers for the decision taking processes. In this sense, it can be observed that the result of the decision can take place, mostly, in accordance to the quality of the decision process, when the ideal would be to concentrate the whole management in an only system. However, in the Universities case, this is not possible, once many if those systems are adopted by the Federal Government. Therefore, in the Businnes Intelligence tools, it was found a probable alternative to minimize the complexity of the decision taking process, once this kind of system is properly used to work in a concentrated way with several sources of information. Thus, this is the problem in this study: Which are the requirements of a business intelligence system to Universidade Federal do Pampa. The research is characterized as an only case study, the approach is qualitative and exploratory. In order to elicit the requirements, documental research techniques, legacy systems analysis, interviews with some institution’s managers and prototyping were used. The prototype was built with the HTML language, following the same pattern of GURI system, to facilitate the users’ development and adaptation. The prototype was validated by the institution’s managers, being the main method for documenting the functional requirements.
