History of the Information Technology Center

Information Technology Center went through several organizational transformations as the information technology infrastructure at SMC grew.

The Technical Department was established under the Finance Office headed by Edgar B. Banawa in 1999.

The office was passed to Jonard J. Visnar in 2003 and served as the Technical Department Head. It was overseen by the former Vice-President Dr. John Erwin Salomon and was renamed to Ignacian Communications Office in mid 2006. An Information Systems Group was formed at that time implementing the institute's information processing and network systems. But due to professionalism misconduct, the Information Systems Group was temporarily suspended and left the Technical Division only operational.

The office was fully operational again in mid 2007 but only serves as the multimedia and marketing arm of SMC which was supervised by the former president Sis. Ma. Yolanda C. Reyes, RVM. In 2008, the office was administered by the current Vice President for Administration, Prof. Romero Hermosilla, DPA.

In 2009, the department was handled by Camilo C. Lozano III who serves the IT Director as well as the Systems Administrator. This time, it was change to Management Information System Department and the core IT group was formed. IT systems was fully implemented such as campus wide wireless connectivity, dedicated servers, and the official website of SMC. With the assistance of the Clusterminds Society, the MIS Department was able to provice efficient IT services in the campus.

Earlier in 2010, it was renamed to Information Technology Center with its 4 divisions:
