Objective
This article describes the changes Silverband implemented to ensure that Paradigm is compliant with the new Higher Education reporting standard as defined by the Transforming the Collection of Student Information (TCSI) project.
...
Following the first round of consultations between the Department of Education and key representatives from the industry, Silverband publicly confirmed its commitment to develop developing a Business to Government (B2G) integration with TCSI that offers our providers a one-touch solution to government reporting requirements. This represents a deliberate rejection of the portal method on the basis that it would not scale well and in time, would be a hindrance for our larger providers. Following the release of the initial reporting specification, we further refined our development efforts toward achieving what the Government phrases as “near real-time” reporting. This means that users of our software will be submitting data to the Government via TCSI in real-time. Any corresponding messages returned from the Government will be displayed within Paradigm in as close to real-time as possible. In practice, messages should be returned and displayed within seconds of a save event completing within Paradigm.
...
A core component of the integration consists of a new system that we named NEXUS, which will serve as a gateway for all communication between Paradigm and the government PRODA servers. The main function of this system is to get an authentication token that enables users to send requests to the TCSI B2G API’sAPIs. All packets sent from Paradigm and all notifications received back from TCSI will pass through NEXUS.

The purpose of TCSI Read-Only mode is to validate that the PRODA device key is registered and working correctly, and to retrieve the UIDs generated by the Government and assign those UIDs to records that were previously reported via HEPCAT.
