Sumario:The Central University of Ecuador generates daily university data (about: students, teachers and research), are valuable for making decisions and improving the quality of services. However, these data are no published for use by the university community. That´s the reason we develop the Open Data Portal, with the purpose of changing the management of the University to an Open Government, through transparency, participation and cooperation of the university community; which allows the generation of data that can be stored, updated and reused, avoiding the loss of information related to research and innovation projects carried out by both students and teachers. The Central University Open Data Base Portal consists of 5 sections: Menu, Data, Applications, Indicators and Statistics. It was developed according to the Agile Unified Process (AUP), in order to simplify the interaction of the portal with the user. To do this, we codified all its functions in Liferay and IntelliJ IDEA, Then, a connection was made to the University database with Power BI Desktop to allow the process of academic data analysis of students and teachers to publish in the Portal, and finally, the publication of academic datasets. With the implementation of the Portal we contributed to the development of transparency with the publication in open formats of the data generated by the UCE. These data are updated and published in free formats o that the public can reuse.
