Also, it looks into KPI-MS online platform and USMiR architecture as well as standard operating procedure in placed. Current issues such as data/information mostly confined at every schools/PTJs or at particular database which is very time consuming to be gathered, lack of data and process integration poor solution architecture design and stakeholder momentum towards USMiR project were discussed.
