Strategija informatizacije integriranog univerziteta
Introduction of Information Technology to an Integrated University

Summary/Abstract: University of Sarajevo, as the leading academic and scientific institution in Bosnia and Herzegovina, properly responded to the modern-age challenges by introducing innovative methods, based on modern standards and information technologies, to the teaching and scientific process, which was made official by inclusion in the Bologna process and adoption of the Law on Higher Education. All past experience in implementation of the Bologna principles, especially in process of integration of complex universities such as the University of Sarajevo, unequivocally confirm that the introduction of information technology is crucial for their successful implementation. University of Sarajevo has, in that sense, initiated a wide range of projects that have significantly helped overcome the problems caused by the increased requirements and needs of the academic community. However, the present level of computerization will not meet the demands of the newly adopted Law on Higher Education and the concept of an integrated university. Minimum preconditions for successful functioning of an integrated university assume the successful implementation of an integrated university information system that should cover all aspects of education, science and research, but also business university activities and activities of each of its members. Among other things, this means administering and monitoring of academic staff, students, teaching, scientific and research activities and projects, but also the finance, accounting, salary management etc. University computerization strategy must be based on the latest achievements in the field of information technology and on the experience of developed countries, and it necessarily requires a radical reorganization and change.
