Message From CTO
oday’s Information & Communication Technology is such a regular and consistent part of University life cycle that it is
often seen as a basic utility. At the same time, IT is considered as a transformative strength for enhancing innovative
thinking and a tool to facilitate and solve the world’s most complex problems.
I am pleased to present the 2011-2012 academic year IT Annual Report. The significant growth of our institution over the past
several years and the rising impact of information & communication technology on education dictate that we must continue to
adopt a massive changing IT environment. This is a challenging period for the university information technology sector as we
look forward and begin operations on a strategic plan for the technology requirements of the university.
Looking at the past year, we provided high quality IT solutions and resources to meet and deliver services vital to accomplish the
university’s mission; in addition we provided value-added, cost-effective services to researchers, students, faculty and other staff
members in the university. Our enterprise environment is now delivering new academic / administrative services round the clock
in a matter of seconds. Through the transformation of our enterprise security architecture, we enabled a wide range of devices
and application delivery models while protecting UAEU’s critical assets.
It was a busy and very productive year. We are improving to the best of our profession to take a leading role in the rapidly
growing sectors of the information and communication technology industry, supported by a culture of performance and
