The Challenge  Information integration from sources with large difference – Scope: ● research ● education ● data centre's ● services – Scale: ● 8 to >6.600 researchers – Internal integration maturity ● Application silo’s – HR – Finance – Asset management – The library silo ● ERP ● CRIS System – Organisation culture – … Goals  Implementation of FRIS information principles and policy – Information quality ● Completeness ● Accurate ● Timeliness – Information ● Integrated – 360° view on all information dimensions ● Open How to realise FRIS 8 Architecturei ContentCh ang e m gnt Ch ang e m gnt Gov ern anc e Gov ern anc e ServicesiUse Populatel Buildil Accelerate Innovationl I i E-government- Monitoringi i Communicationi i Agreements 1.
