Information Technology in Higher Education Management

Abstract

Information technology instruments are a very important asset in the hands of every manager. The higher education institutions make no exception from these rules. The exposure to the modern technology and communication tools is very quickly assimilated by students, who acquire the skills to address and even master it and have high expectations from the university they study in to provide them with accurate and real-time information on their particular needs. The management of the university should have at its hand data on students, including personal data, data on academic achievements of any kind, housing in hostels, due and paid tuition fees, data on research, emphasizing both resources allocated and the results obtained, even providing links to online platforms and databases that index these results. The authors approach both operational databases and decision-oriented data warehouses and will aim to capitalize their own research interests in the field of IT to synthesize a set of solutions for this type of software.
