Comparing and Contrasting Campus Information Systems in South Pacific Regional Universities

Campus information systems have the potential to provide wide range of services for staff and campus at universities. We proposed a new system, FNU-CIS, a campus information system characterized by offering better services and less maintenance. Campus information systems must provide a secure, highly efficient, flexible, usable and reliable environment, the key issues in campus information systems development. Therefore, in order to assist in the design of an efficient campus information system suitable for all universities, we compare and contrast several existing campus information systems in this paper and outline a new campus information system that we have been developing that addresses the disadvantages in current systems.
