Introduction

The word PRODA is an acronym for Provider Digital Access, a system used to securely access multiple online Government services, including for the purposes of submitting information as part of TCSI. As a system, PRODA is used by many different types of industries, each having reason to interact with one or more Government systems.

Once you, as the provider, have received your PRODA account details, you will need to create a B2B device key and then share it with Silverband via the Silverband Help-desk Portal. Following successful installation of the B2B key within NEXUS, the provider will be ready to enter TCSI Read-Only mode.

Register B2B Device

1. Complete PRODA Registration

There are three phases in the registration process and the Government describes in greater detail on the TCSI transition page of the HEIMS HELP web-site. Any issues or questions relating to the PRODA registration phases should be referred to the Department of Education.

2. Register a new B2B device key

The generation of B2B device keys is a task performed from within the PRODA portal. When creating the B2B device key, we recommend assigning a name that clearly states the intended purpose of the key, for example “Paradigm” or “ParadigmEMS”.

Perform the following steps from within the PRODA portal:

1. Locate your Organisation Name. Our test one is: dc-strata-api-4y396

2. Locate your PRODA RA (Organisation) our test one is: 1659703992

3. Begin the process to ‘Register a new B2B device’.

3. Submit PRODA credentials to Silverband

There are four components to PRODA credentials that are required to successfully enable the TCSI integration. These are outlined below together with an example testing credential.
