Digital transformation has become a necessity for all organizations and establishments that strive to develop and improve their operations and proced​ures, provide distinctive services to the beneficiaries, and contribute to facilitating the provision of services, which will save the cost and effort significantly and improve operational efficiency. Therefore, Taibah University represented by the Deanship of Information Technology aims to lead the digital transformation of the institution through the implementation of an integrated and comprehensive program. The program is intended not only to provide advanced technology to the university but also seeks to build a digital society in a manner that ensures the creation of a new digital culture that will accelerate digital transformation, apply the e-government concept, and develop and nationalize technical knowledge in accordance with the Digital Transformation Program 2020 and the Vision of the Kingdom 2030.

   In the Deanship of Information Technology, we aim to provide all the elements of success necessary for Taibah University to become a comprehensive university that contributes to the building of the society. This will be accomplished by providing all the means and modern technological tools required to contribute to accelerating the process of digital transformation of the university, keeping abreast of rapid developments needed to serve the university's goals and objectives, and achieving the objectives of the Digital Transformation Program, one of the main pr​ograms of the Vision of the Kingdom 2030. In order to achieve these esteemed objectives, we, in the Deanship of Information Technology, designed a roadmap for digital transformation in accordance with a specific time frame within which the university can construct a digital society in a calculated manner. The roadmap includes proposing, implementing and launching various technical projects that are directed at improving the experience of the university’s beneficiaries, as well as the transformation into a digital society.​

   Because we live in a time that e-learning will impose itself on educational systems as one of the basic programs to achieve the vision of the Kingdom 2030, Taibah University aims to be a pioneer and distinguished, among local and international universities, by providing all the technical elements necessary to contribute to accelerating digital transformation, apply the e-government concept, and develop and nationalize technical knowledge in accordance with the Digital Transformation Program 2020 and the Vision of the Kingdom 2030. The University also seeks to keep abreast of the rapid developments in activating the means and tools of information technology to serve the university's goals and objectives by proposing, implementing and launching various technical projects aimed at improving the experience of the university’s beneficiaries, raising the technical culture, and developing the working environment. These projects also cover various technical axes that serve different categories of internal and external beneficiaries.

   The program will be implemented in several phases. A large number of projects will be launched during the year 2019 (which spans the two academic years 1439/1440 H and 1440/1441 H). The implementation of the remaining technical projects will be completed gradually on more than one stage and in accordance with the executive plan of the Deanship of Information Technology.
