The present study deals with the investigation and the recording of the principals' views and perceptions concerning the ICT and the implementation of the new Informational System "MySchool" in the administrative process of an educational organization. The research was carried out in schools of Primary Education of the prefecture of Imathia in NovemberDecember 2014 and 56 primary school principals participated in it, while a mixed research approach was adopted with the use of the questionnaire and the semistructured interview. The results portray the principals as being fervour supporters of the use of ICT in the administration of schools, while at the same time, the acknowledgement of their importance is being presented concerning the amelioration of the educational and administrative process. The implementation of the new Informational System "MySchool" is also deemed positive, since the principals have realised the crucial contribution that such a system may offer, concerning the effectiveness of educational administration and the improvement of the management of the educational work. Nevertheless, they still believe that its role is limited, at this particular moment, concerning the control and management of the instructor and student population of the school.
