Mr. Jia Yimin, the vice president of JNU, who was entrusted by the Mr. Hu Jun, the president of JNU signed the contract with Ms. Lu Zhaoxia, Director of Operations of Neusoft.

The Informatization Program of our university serves the multi-purposes of rallying the information platform and developing tailor-made application systems so as to build up a unified information system that opens up to the whole university and offers a platform for information and resource sharing and personalized service.

Mr. Jia Yimin said the central task of the informationization program was to achieve an effective integration of various kinds of resources of the university, which can be shared on a unified platform in the first session of the program. Looking back to the road of informationization of Jinan university, Mr.

Jia said our university was one of the few universities pioneered the notion of informationizational campus in China. As early as in 1995, the campus network of JNU was launched, which made the university became one of the first one hundred universities that had their campus networks put on the internet.

However, the pace of informational process slowed down in recent years due to the lack of a systematic strategy to direct the construction, an effective integration of different sources and unified data. Also, the degree of informationization in the various aspects of teaching is rather low.

Mr. Jia also highlighted that the construction of an informationaliztion of JNU, which is known as the Paramount School for overseas Chinese and is enjoying much reputation internationally, has economic, social and political significance. He also expressed his anticipation that the two parts---Jinan university and Neusoft---to create a win-win cooperation that Jinan university can upgrade the university running and Neusoft can penetrates into a bigger market, at home and abroad.
