In 2016 Information Technology initiated Information Technology Strategic Plan for 2016-2019.

We aimed to create significant changes in information technology philosophy, vision, and direction to enable IT to support ESEC in achieving its vision, values, and goals.

Where appropriate, IT will seek to implement solutions that are innovative, Integrative and supportive to evolving EL-Seif goals, demands and expectations. IT will provide information technology resources to enhance and support El-Seif operations.
