Dr. Atef clarified that the Deanship of Information Technology realizes the importance of the IT applications and systems, and their impact on facilitating the different procedures and turning them into electronic services. He added that these systems and applications save time and effort, and contribute to offering services with high reliability by linking the UQU electronic systems with the National Information Center. In addition, a high standard of technology of the National Single Sign-On program is utilized in order to achieve the highest level of quality and security for the beneficiaries' confidential information.
