The key
to enter the twenty first century is
through information technology (IT). The
third millennium would not open its
doors to those that don’t own IT
infrastructure and are incapable of
implementing and developing IT services.
The challenge is not using IT and
utilizing its capabilities but rather
keeping up with the vast technological
advances and competing with the rest of
the developed world.
The
Information Technology Center at the
College of Business Administration has
accepted this challenge to transfer the
University to the 21st century of
digital computing. This challenge has
motivated the Center to have a vision. A
vision that determines a mission which
in turn emanates objectives to be
implemented. The objectives that are to
be reached and the goals that have been
achieved are as follows:
 |
Provide an infrastructure necessary to
allow faculty, students and staff
access to all University computing
resources and to communicate among
themselves.
|
|
|
Complete the CBA new campus network.
|
|
|
Improve the Internet connectivity and
speed in order to allow faculty,
students and staff access the World
Wide Web.
|
|
|
Install networked applications such as
electronic mail, electronic global
directory (faculty, student and

|
|
|
Implement Intranet Services in CBA to
