| Description | The need to build and maintain a database of projects carried out at a university is as obvious as the need to keep electronic records about students and studies. The contents and the functions of projects database are driven by the needs of the targeted user groups. Meeting those needs typically requires building a complex and sophisticated information system. An example of such a system (ISPM), in-house built at Masaryk University in Brno, is presented in the paper. The principles and system architecture as well as selected implementation details are described, together with the experience from running the system for several years. A lot of attention is paid to economics and budgeting as key components of the system. |
