At present, ICETEX is using USD 854,700 per month to send information through mail to the students using the entity's services. With the new system, the Institute expects a 90 percent saving in the mail budget, and a saving of USD 55,900 with files, paperwork and customer assitance. Meanwhile, the Agenda de Conectividad will invest USD 42,700 in a WAP solution development so that the users access ICETEX information by Internet through their cell phones.
