The student Admission System described in this paper was developed and implemented in-house for the Admission department of the higher education institution in Kazakhstan. It is one of the key information systems and is part of an integrated student information system environment, which is intended to automate various areas and processes of a university and the student lifecycle. This paper shows the features, components and the architecture of the developed information system and its framework. The system has the architecture of a web application. The main stakeholders and users of the system are the employees of the Admission Department and potential students/applicants of the university. The system was developed and enhanced during the last few years with such technologies like IBM WebSphere Portal, IBM HTTP Server 7.0.0.31, IBM Forms 8.0.1, IBM Tivoli Directory Server 6.2.0.0, Oracle 11 g Database, Red Hat Linux, Java and JavaScript. The proposed software architecture and experience could be followed and used by various development teams, who plan to develop local web-based applications for universities, for automating business processes of an Admission Department.
