Welcome to the Directorate of ICT at Kibabii University. The Directorate is entrusted with the mandate of developing ICT infrastructure and automation of functional systems in the University to enable the University Administration and Academic Divisions perform their functions effectively and efficiently. Our services include: ICT helpdesk support, Internet connectivity, ICT end user training, ICT Operations and maintenance, Database Design and Administration and Website Design and Maintenance.

The power of ICT lies in its potential to provide the right information to the right people at the right time and place. The Enterprise Resource Planning solution manages the academics, and finances of students with ease. It has therefore ascertained high profitability, increased business efficiency and productivity in addition to streamlining university operations.

The Directorate in conjunction with the Security Department has installed CCTV cameras that help to enhance security within the university that are operated in an intelligent, proactive way so that suspicious activities can be identified and tackled as it happens.

Kibabii university Data Centers consist of a large number of IT resources such as servers, storage, networks, OS, mid-dleware, databases, business applications etc. Once the center is properly deployed, it will best manage larger amounts of data for the university and other corporations.

The university is continuously increasing the ICT infrastructure to meet the emerging demand for ICT Application as per National ICT policy towards achieving Kenya’s Vision 2030. All the activities of the Directorate adhere to ISO 9001 2015 and Information system security management system under ISO 270.

In line with global trends, the University has established two multi-million state of the art research and innovation hubs; Kibabii University Information Communication and Technology Hub (KICTH) that encompasses Data Centre, Digital Forensics and Teleconferencing Laboratories funded by NRF’s Infrastructure Support Programme, and Kibabii University Innovation Hub funded by the European Union. The grant was awarded after a competitive grant proposal on ICT infrastructure led by the Principal Investigator Prof. Franklin Wabwoba.Other members of the team were Prof. Mbuguah, Dr. Mayeku, Dr. Samwel Barasa, Dr. Yonah Etene, Dr. Patrick Owoche, Ms. Dorcus Ashley Shisoka, Mr. Juma Kilwake and Mr. Daniel Khaoya Mukobo.

The establishment of these hubs is not just important in incubation of ideas in research and innovation but are also critical in aiding teaching and training, and as a policy are open to other non-Kibabii University staff and student users.

The establishments have seen a steady increase in research and innovation activities as witnessed by an upsurge in application for registration of intellectual property rights’ protection among University staff and students. The University is also positioning itself to be the leading university in Robotics Technology in the region as evidenced in its sterling performance in local and regional robotic competitions.
