Take the road of large input and large output

Exclusive interview with Wang Haitao, Director of the Information Management Office of the w88 casino

Introduction: Information construction has begun to touch the "deep water area" of university management reform, and information construction has penetrated into every aspect of university management.

The w88 casino has made significant progress in informatization construction in recent years. From the construction of a distinctive digital campus, to full coverage of wireless campus networks, to the use of information technology to build a low-carbon and environmentally friendly green campus, it can be said that it is a step every year. But from a development perspective, Director Wang Haitao of the Information Management Office of the w88 casino believes that recently 5 The informatization construction of colleges and universities did not achieve a real "breakthrough".

Challenge Management of Deep Water Area

The information construction of colleges and universities has begun to touch the "deep water area" of college management reform. Information construction has penetrated into every aspect of college management. The most important difficulties are the lag of management mechanisms and the shortage of personnel.

“The w88 casino’s data is relatively scattered in various business departments or functional departments, and there is no centralized management and application, which makes data sharing and big data analysis and decision-making difficult.” Wang Haitao pointed out that there is no effective mechanism for data information sharing between various departments in the w88 casino, and it is very difficult to promote data integration. Moreover, the earlier the university started informatization construction, the heavier the burden of inter-department data integration. On the contrary, new schools or schools in transition are more likely to achieve results.

Incorporate informatization into the management system

After comparing the characteristics of information construction in foreign universities and domestic universities, Wang Haitao believes that foreign universities have greater advantages in investment, such as full-time studentsITThe proportion of service personnel in the w88 casino’s faculty and staff is generally achieved by foreign universities 4% Above the level whileITThe ratio of staff to teachers and students in the w88 casino is generally reached 1：200, based on this ratio, a medium-sized university, itsITMaintenance personnel should be no less than 60~80 Only at the human level can we truly useITThe department has sufficient manpower and time to maintain a relatively high level of services to teachers and students throughout the w88 casino. But domestic universitiesITThe number of personnel is generally only in the single digits, which makes the improvement of information services unsustainable.

In terms of the concept of informatization construction, Wang Haitao emphasized not to informatize for the sake of informatization. Informatization is only one of the means of university management and must provide support for the w88 casino's scientific decision-making and refined management. Therefore, information construction should be integrated into the overall management system of the w88 casino for design and implementation. We should start by establishing a mechanism. There must be clear w88 casino leaders in charge of information construction work. The establishment of a "part-time" information office or leadership group at the w88 casino-level management level can no longer meet the current work needs. It is necessary to establish a "full-time" information management functional agency to promote the collaborative work of horizontal institutions within the w88 casino. To this end, the w88 casino has established an Information Management Office, which serves as the substantive department of the w88 casino’s management system and serves the w88 casino in coordinating information work among various departments.

Large investment and large output to achieve high level

Next step, Wang Haitao believes that the development of informatization in colleges and universities should move towards a construction model with large input and large output. Taking the w88 casino as an example, Wang Haitao said that the current w88 casino information construction has completed the establishment of the basic environment. Each functional department of the w88 casino has established its own information system and gradually migrated its business to the information platform. The work focus of the w88 casino's information department has also shifted from the previous network construction to establishing a unified data exchange platform for the integration of the entire w88 casino's business systems. "The integration of various systems at all levels of the w88 casino has invested tens of millions of yuan, which is basically consistent with the development of foreign universities," Wang Haitao said. There are many precedents for the development of integrated w88 casino information systems around the world, such as the University of Hong Kong, universities in North America and Australia. In recent years, they have strengthened the integrated design and transformation of w88 casino information systems through cooperation with professional companies, thus improving the level of informatization application.

According to statistics, the level of informatization abroad is relatively high, and the annual investment in informatization by universities has reached2000 More than ten thousand US dollars. The investment scale of information construction in many domestic universities exceeds tens of millions every year. Integrating business information systems, reengineering management processes and building a unified exchange platform have become the keys to the current stage of information construction in colleges and universities. The construction model of large input and large output will be one of the main features of the information construction in colleges and universities at this stage.

The future information construction of colleges and universities will highlight several characteristics. First of all, with the completion of the basic construction of wired networks in colleges and universities, comprehensive coverage of wireless campus networks will gradually become popular. Interactive offices, mobile teaching applications, etc. will become the key to the next step of digital campus construction in colleges and universities. At the data center level, cloud computing is the future development trend, and server virtualization and storage virtualization will become mainstream, effectively driving the application demand for blade servers in schools. In addition, the integration of green campus construction and information technology will also become one of the main driving forces for future university information discoveries.
