1 Implementing the Curriculum Management System (CMS) The Curriculum Management System is an online integrated platform that empowers educators by providing curriculum and module management capabilities on a unified portal across NUS systems and faculties. The platform acts as the single source of truth for all curriculum data and is the foundation that supports the Next Generation Student Information Systems, providing features such as the Academic Planner, Tracker, and Checker. This single touchpoint will be an important enabler for institutional transformation and agility, programme planning, and assessment, resulting in deeper engagement amongst the related parties. With assurance on the accuracy of curriculum data, CMS is projected to achieve significant annual savings through streamlined curriculum management.

3 Major Upgrade and Rollout of Network capabilities and services With the increased demand on NUS' network for performance, security, and agility to support our growth and transformation initiatives, it is imperative that NUS IT is prepared with sufficient network capabilities to rise to the needs of the university. With the Next-Generation Campus Network upgrade, we can expect agile service provisioning, enhanced performance throughout, and the implementation of an intelligent software-defined network (SDN). All this would drive and allow NUS to pursue the best-of-class university experience for learning and research. The upgraded network will deploy AI to auto remediate any issue that could cause disruptions. It will also feature a revamped architecture to ensure that our data is protected from intrusions. As the first institution in the region to implement SDN and Wi-Fi 6, the NUS network will now support a quadruple increase in speed and connection of wireless devices, providing a highly reliable wireless connection anywhere on campus.,With SDN, we can roll out network changes dynamically and automate network processes, configuration, and remediation procedures to drive network efficiency and agility towards a borderless campus.
