As society develops comprehensively, reforms in the education sector are also advancing continuously. In this context, application-oriented universities must keep pace with the times and emphasize the application of digital intelligence technology to further promote the high-quality development of education management. This study, relying on field research and in-depth interviews, maps out the practical applications of digital intelligence technology in areas such as teaching management, student management, research management, and administrative office work, and analyzes the transformative impact of technological empowerment. While acknowledging the achievements, it delves into issues such as insufficient depth of technology application, inadequate data governance mechanisms, and poor personnel adaptability, as well as deeper challenges related to management philosophy, organizational structure, and institutional supply. Based on this, systematic solutions are proposed from the aspects of building a smart ecosystem, enhancing digital literacy, strengthening resource coordination, and improving institutional norms, hoping to promote the high-quality development of university education management.
