This system was implemented to move away from the previous intuition-based work practices and to establish a data-driven smart decision-making framework at the level of Executive Information Systems (EIS) and Decision Support Systems (DSS), going beyond traditional Management Information Systems (MIS).


The K-DX system is characterized by its collection of key internal data across academic affairs, academic administration, industry-academia cooperation, and research, resulting in the creation of a total of 143 data marts.


Through this, it provides precise support for macro-level management strategies for executives such as the president and vice president, as well as topic-specific decision-making for department heads and deans.


Main features include: ▲ visualization reports of core university indicators (such as student and educational data, research performance, finance, and internationalization status); ▲ analysis of external competitiveness compared to rival universities based on university information disclosure; and ▲ comprehensive monitoring of full-time faculty research achievements (including domestic and international papers, FWCI, and JCR quartiles).


In particular, the system offers visualized data for 20 key university information disclosure items, such as employment rate, number of students per full-time faculty member, and research funding received, enabling immediate diagnosis of competitiveness at the department and college levels through objective comparison with other universities.


This system is operated for faculty and staff members of Kyung Hee University.


To enhance user accessibility, it allows for integrated access using existing campus portal accounts.


To ensure secure data management, it requires users to specify the intended use when downloading files, thereby strictly adhering to internal document security guidelines.



Haiil Park, Director of Planning and Coordination at Kyung Hee University, stated, "The K-DX Big Data Analysis System is a core part of Kyung Hee's digital transformation (DX) infrastructure to maximize key drivers based on objective indicators." He added, "We will continue to expand data marts related to core performance and gradually open additional analysis reports through ongoing system maintenance and upgrades in the future."
