• Casewise-Evolve is an IT architecture tool that captures the University’s enterprise data model. It contains summary information (metadata) about the administrative data within the University’s business systems, for example student records (SITS), staff records (HRIS), and alumni data (DARS). It will be closing early 2025 and replaced with a new service.

• The capability of Casewise-Evolve extends beyond data: it is also being used to model the University’s business processes and its application portfolio.

• The toolset supports the Data Governance Framework to help ensure that all the University’s high-value shared administrative data may be re-used with accuracy. ‘Re-use’ could include reporting for operational monitoring and decision-making, statutory data returns, analytics and system integrations.

• As its name suggests, the tool has two main parts: Casewise and Evolve. Data, models, processes and applications are published via the Evolve website, for which read-only access is available to all University staff members upon request.

The Casewise client modelling toolset is provided only to trained modellers.
