USEP: Integration of Internet Apps to the University (System Proposal)

Since the rise of Internet, countless application and software had been developed to assist the needs of people as well as giving business a new definition of processing. Because of its fast growth, its accessibility does not limit only to those who can afford it but even to those. Almost all individuals in the world know what “Internet” means.

Because of these applications, systems today are now very flexible and efficient in doing works in every possible areas. But what makes a system proficient is its ability to integrate beneficial functions into one. When talking about a University, it contains many different tasks and individuals to consider with. This is a proposal of how USEP can integrate application, this is also in connection with the prior topic on USEP having an Intranet and Extranet System.

I am thinking of a complete system that could handle all the processing in the University. From the staff to the students, starting in the pre-enrollment procedure to the current accounts of students.
