FE colleges to get new multi-million IT upgrade
Belfast-based B.I.C. Systems has won a major contract to design and install a new, multi-million pound computer system to support the Northern Ireland further education sector.
The new Northern Ireland College Information System (NICIS) will improve the information technology systems at Northern Ireland's 16 further education colleges.
The decision to install the new IT system throughout the colleges was made by the Department for Employment & Learning after a strategic review - carried out by consultants PricewaterhouseCoopers - found that a new IT system was required to help deliver the future strategic direction of the FE sector.
The pilot college for the new system is the North East Institute of Further & Higher Education. The student management element of the new system is scheduled to be in place at North East Institute (NEI) by June 2003.
Personnel in the remainder of the 16 further education colleges in Northern Ireland will be trained by staff from the NICIS project team. According to the agreed timeframe, all of the NI colleges are scheduled to be fully functional in all respects of the new system by June 2005.
The time lapse for implementation in any of the colleges is expected to be no longer than 18 months.
