Jeddah - King Abdulaziz University (KAU) has developed a system for content management (MARZ) in a step to assess all KAU websites electronically using performance rating indicators which adopt internally-developed criteria in combination with other international criteria.
KAU Vice Rector for Businesses and Knowledge Creativity, Dr Ahmed Hamid Nagadi, has described the recently-introduced content management system (MARZ) as an enormous leap forward, "Al-Nadwah" newspaper said.

He also pointed out that the system would enable all departments and teaching members of staff to set up their own websites and mange them very easily.
