Official Launch of the K-DX Big Data Analysis System
Establishment of 143 Data Marts (DM) across faculty, research, and administration
Support for customized decision-making by administrative units and comparative analysis of university indicators

Kyung Hee recently unveiled the “K-DX Big Data Analysis System” (hereafter “K-DX System”) to the university community. Designed to unify fragmented data across education, research, and administration, the system facilitates a shift from intuition-based operations toward a data-driven, “smart” decision-making framework. This initiative aims to elevate traditional Management Information Systems (MIS) to the level of sophisticated Executive Information Systems (EIS) and Decision Support Systems (DSS).

A defining feature of the K-DX System is the establishment of 143 specialized Data Marts (DM), which aggregate critical institutional data spanning faculty affairs, academics, industry-academic cooperation, and research. This structure provides top-level management, including the President and Vice Presidents, with the insights needed for macro-strategic planning, while offering deans and department heads precise support for thematic, working-level decision-making.

Visualizing Public Disclosure Data for Immediate Assessments of Competitiveness

The system’s key functions include:

• · Visualized reports on core university indicators (students/education, research performance, finance, internationalization, etc.).
• · External competitiveness analysis benchmarking against rival institutions based on official university disclosures.
• · Comprehensive monitoring of full-time faculty research performance (domestic/international papers, FWCI, JCR quartiles, etc.).

A standout feature is the visualization of 20 major university disclosure items, including employment rates, student-to-faculty ratios, and research grant performance. By providing objective comparisons with other universities, the system allows for an immediate diagnosis of competitiveness at both the department and university levels.

The K-DX System is available to all Kyung Hee faculty and staff. For ease of access, it is integrated with existing university portal accounts. To ensure robust data security, the system is designed in strict compliance with institutional document security guidelines, requiring users to state their purpose of use whenever downloading files.

Hail Park, Head of the Center for Strategic Planning, stated, “The K-DX Big Data Analysis System is the cornerstone of our Digital Transformation (DX) infrastructure, aimed at maximizing Kyung Hee’s core drivers through objective metrics. We plan to expand the data marts related to key performances and gradually roll out additional analysis reports through continuous system maintenance and upgrades.”
