All academic staff and selected students with Information Technology background are invited to participate in the survey by answering an online form. Based on the result, ICT Infrastructure of PSU Open University Systems has moderately implemented and needs an improvement-based result. It is therefore concluded that ICT Infrastructure is moderately implemented except for Network and Internet which is an external factor that is uncontrollable.
