Introduction:
One of the top priorities to the Ministry of Higher Education is to introduce and develop communication and information technology within the organization of higher education. This is evident through the third phase of Higher Education Organization as Egypt witnesses a new era. This phase aims at using communication and information
technology to raise the educational, research and administrative capacity of Higher Education and Scientific Research organization. It also aims at the continuous development of scientific and training programs and syllabi and their teaching methods in addition to developing new other methods of education to keep pace with the global development and to cover the growing demand for higher education. This requires taking advantage of the information resources and international libraries and raising the capacity and skills of the academic and administrative staff in the institutions of higher education and scientific research while dealing with communication and information technology and multimedia.
While activating the assigned role for the communication and information technology Project (ICTP), which was a key element in the Loan Agreement between Egypt and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (Loan Agreement No. EGT 4658 ratified by the parliament on June 18, 2002), and which aims at supporting and financing high priority fields in the strategic plan of the higher education development project, financing the projects of developing management information systems at universities raises the efficiency of the administrative system in higher education institutions which would benefit the quality and efficiency of the provided education. Project Goals: The main objective of this project is to establish an integrated management information system which enables us to automate the dynamic administrative processes in the university. This can be achieved through:
