With the aforementioned structure of central and decentral co-operations
in the background, the project MIRO was launched November 15, 2005.
During a period of five years the complex structure of one of Germany‟s
largest universities is to be adequatly provided with an innovative and powerful
system for information management. In doing so, the requirements of
the Bologna process and of modern e-government must be taken into consideration.
The same holds for the needs and wishes of about 40000 students,
5000 employees in 15 departments offering more than 130 study
programs. Even today, the WWW-servers located at the ZIV have to master
245 million page hits per month and a transfer volume of about three terabytes
of digital information. Another challenge lies in the fact that the university
has 285 buildings which are scattered all over the city. All these
facilities need to be integrated into the information management system.
