Send employees out to study before making important plans
Author: Zhao Zhongxiu
Internationalization is a major feature of the w88 casino. The campus is full of students from all over the world, who study, grow and experience here. How does the w88 casino provide a better growth and learning environment for all teachers and students? In terms of information-based campus, how to apply advanced information technology in such an exquisite campus? As far as the overall construction of w88 casino informatization is concerned, our original intention is to support national policies and in accordance with the "National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan Outline" (2010~2020)》Guidance——Accelerate the construction of educational infrastructure, attach great importance to the revolutionary impact of information technology on education, accelerate the popularization of terminal facilities, realize digital campuses, and enable multiple terminals to access the Internet.
It can be said that this is not only the country’s policy support, but also a policy environment. As for the w88 casino itself, we have determined the construction strategy of the w88 casino's information intelligent campus based on the country's overall macro-policy and some basic characteristics of the w88 casino itself. Our principles for formulating information strategies are: demand-oriented and the goal of improving the w88 casino's core competitiveness. When formulating the information strategy, we once had confusion. After extensive discussions and even quarrels, the whole w88 casino reached a consensus: now, the w88 casino's information construction has entered the deep water area of reform. The w88 casino management believes that information construction must serve a modern university, and the construction of a modern university needs to be distinctive.
Planning informatization from the perspective of going global
When formulating information strategy construction tasks, our basic approach is:
First, go global and plan information construction from an open perspective. The w88 casino has formulated the 12th Five-Year Plan for Information Construction“Go out”In the past three years, the w88 casino has organized a number of inspection groups to universities in Europe, America, Australia and other countries, as well as universities in Taiwan, Hong Kong and other regions to conduct special inspections and investigate informatization work. Focus on investigating and learning the experience of these universities in information construction. At the same time, we also invite higher-level system analysts and campus system architects for training. The foreign experts all have many years of work experience. After having a detailed understanding of the current situation of foreign economic and w88 informatization, combined with their actual project construction experience and the informatization development background of foreign universities, they comprehensively gave a more in-depth explanation and analysis of the foreign economic and w88 informatization situation, and put forward constructive opinions on the problems encountered in the w88 casino's informatization development process. In the process, relevant technical personnel also learned advanced technology and management experience. When we are doing informatization planning for foreign economic and w88, we also attach great importance to communication with domestic and foreign counterparts and the learning of experience. Before formulating the plan, the staff of the information center were arranged to work and study in information centers of foreign universities for a period of time to learn about their advanced experience in construction.
Second, establish an information management system from a mechanism perspective. During our exchanges with foreign universities, we found that most foreign universities have established information technology management committees, which are similar to the academic committees of domestic universities. This committee has very high authority: it is responsible to the principal, exercises its powers independently, and has multiple subcommittees. All information construction projects are evaluated by the technical committee, the investment committee makes the budget, the evaluation committee implements the income assessment after the completion of the project, and the information technology committee refers to the results of the sub-committees and then forms the final decision. During this process, as long as it involves organizational structure adjustments, decisions are made by the committee and all departments must implement them. The successful experiences of foreign universities are worth learning from. In recent years, domestic universities have also established information leadership groups, information offices and other organizations to better implement information construction. The w88 casino established a leading group many years ago to take charge of specific organization and coordination work and ensure the advancement of the w88 casino's information construction project.“Twelfth Five-Year Plan”During this period, we further improved the organizational structure and clarified responsibilities. Currently, the top leading group for w88 casino informatization is the Campus Informatization Leadership Group, with the principal personally serving as the team leader, reviewing and approving technical standard plans, and determining the direction and investment amount for informatization construction. The director of the Information Management Department serves as the leader of the project team and is responsible for the construction of an information-based smart campus. The expert group is responsible for leadership decision-making and is responsible for project demonstration, project evaluation, and post-project evaluation; the funding group is responsible for the review, supervision, and effect evaluation of relevant funds. This involves the collaborative work of multiple departments in the w88 casino, and improves the decision-making mechanism for the w88 casino's information construction through system construction, evaluation, and mutual restraint. In order to further implement the construction of informatization and adapt to the situation of the w88 casino's informatization construction, the w88 casino has specially established an Information Management Office. Its main responsibilities are: coordinating the overall work of the informatization campus, coordinating the information construction and management work of various departments within the w88 casino, providing training and business guidance to the informatization personnel team, and realizing information management.
Third, strengthen the top-level design and overall planning of informatization. Intelligent information construction has become an important part of the strategic goals of the w88 casino. Scientific and reasonable planning is the basis of the w88 casino's information construction. It is a systematic project, not a simple technical application. It involves all aspects of teaching, scientific research, management, and services. Without scientific and reasonable planning, substantial progress cannot be made in the sustained and stable development of information-based campuses. Foreign universities with a relatively high degree of informatization have established structure and system departments to provide strategic suggestions for the development of w88 casino information technology.
The w88 casino, in accordance with the requirements of the 12th Five-Year Plan issued by the country, combined with the basic foundation of the w88 casino, comprehensively plans the informatization construction plan, coordinates the construction content, and promotes informatization work in accordance with the principles of overall design and step-by-step implementation. In terms of information construction,“Twelfth Five-Year Plan”w88 casino will implement this during the period40 A number of informatization projects are partly led by the information center and partly led by business departments. Each project is implemented in strict accordance with the road map from the beginning, ensuring scientific and orderly progress.
Fourth, talent is the key. The information technology personnel team in most domestic universities is relatively weak. This weakness is reflected both at the personnel level and at scale. The prominent problem is scale. Weak information technology capabilities make existing personnel tired of system maintenance, resulting in a lack of emphasis on application development or heavy reliance on external companies. Cooperation with companies cannot be said to be a good cooperation model, but over-reliance will lead to subsequent problems such as poor maintainability and high maintenance costs. In terms of team size, our inspection results found that universities in Europe, America, Australia and other countriesITThe proportion of staff to the total faculty and staff is5% Around 18972_18992|, even in universities with better informatization development10%. Without a certain team size, it is impossible to provide better basic information protection. Therefore, human resources bottleneck is a common problem faced by various universities in China.
There is no end to information construction
w88 casino is planned in“Twelfth Five-Year Plan”During the period, a unified management information personnel team was established. In addition to the information technology department, a professional information technology personnel was assigned to major departments such as teaching, students, personnel, assets, finance, and logistics. expected2015 21233_212574%, in terms of business, it is managed by the Information Management Office, which improves the access system for professional information technology personnel and establishes an inspection and introduction mechanism that is consistent with professional information technology personnel. Under the leadership of the Information Management Office, this team builds management information systems and promotes information applications in accordance with the relevant standards and specifications of the w88 casino. At the same time, the w88 casino has set up special funds for talent training, conducts regular training, and provides opportunities for inspections and research as well as external exchanges.
Once upon a time, all universities may have faced it“When will the w88 casino’s digital campus construction be completed”Such a question. Now we can answer with certainty that the construction of information campus has no end, and it will continue to develop with the growth of information technology. Informatization is not an end, but only a technical means for the construction of modern universities. Informatization construction will develop simultaneously with the reform of higher education and the reform of education and teaching. In the future, various aspects of university management will become increasingly dependent on informatization. At the same time, informatization will also play a significant role in promoting the construction of modern universities.
From my own perspective, information technology work cannot be overemphasized. The informatization work of universities is a dynamic and long-term systematic work. The results of informatization are directly related to scientific research, teaching, and life, and are closely related to every w88 casino personnel. Although our country's universities have their own unique characteristics, in the context of overall development, if we are demand-oriented and grasp future development trends, we will surely be able to find a path of information construction suitable for our country's universities.
