MIS Constraints

Management Information Systems (MIS) is defined as a process that integrates computer system
to effectively manage an organization. Information systems collect and compile data through
their software system. Once the data has been analyzed, MIS assist managers with direction,
planning, and decision-making. As MIS has its advantages if implemented at BatStateU –
Rosario, the following are the MIS constraints that may affect the accomplishment of the MIS
objectives, which is also stipulated in the BatStateU – Rosario MIS Strategic Plan:

A. Availability of funds. The BatStateU Annual Budget is divided proportionally

among two (2) main campuses and six (6) extension campuses, excluding the two (2)
satellite campuses. It is because they are autonomous campuses that they have their
own annual budget resources. Since all academic institutions have many offices in
operation, prioritizing and allocating of financial resources is very important. The
same goes with BatStateU – Rosario. All proposed projects, may it be educational or
improving its infrastructure and facilities, will only be permitted if there are available
funds allocated for the said project.

B. Cost of hardware and software acquisition. BatStateU – Rosario, in line with

BatStateU’s mission and vision, has a goal-setting to be a globally-competitive
academic institution, even as an extension campus. In order to realize that goal, it is
imperative to procure sophisticated hardware and software technologies in order for

CMSC 209
Batangas State University – Rosario Page |7
 MISOP Management Information Systems Operational Plan

its instructional media, tools and equipment, facilities, and other administrative
support services, be at par with other universities around the globe. But, of course,
procurement of such sophisticated hardware and software technologies entails an
ample amount of financial resources.

C. ICT / Computer literacy. Employees of BatStateU – Rosario belong to different age

groups. Fortunately, most of the employees are computer-literate. But there are few,
who are senior instructors, who are not computer-literate. Once business processes of
the University become computerized, these employees will be left out.

D. Cost of ICT trainings, workshops, and seminars. At BatStateU – Rosario, all in-
house ICT trainings, workshops, and seminars for employees conducted by the ICT
Services Office are fortunately, free of charge. But, if there are ICT trainings,
workshops, and seminars for employees conducted outside the University by other
companies, definitely this will entail training / workshop / seminar registration fees. If
the University will shoulder the expenses of these trainings, workshops, and seminars
for their employees, then the better. If, unfortunately, this registration fee will not be
shouldered by the University, the employees, who are interested to attend these
trainings, workshops, and seminars, will pay for themselves. Take note that most
professional ICT trainings, workshops, and seminars nowadays have very expensive
registration fees.

E. Fear of change. “You cannot teach an old dog a new trick” as the saying goes. If
there are new implementations and deployments of hardware and software
technologies at any companies, the first hurdle for the implementation to be
successful is its employees must embrace these changes in their workplace. Since
new hardware and software technologies are to be installed and used, end-users of
this system must learn how to use this and forget their routines of the old system.
Even though the new system is proven to be more effective and efficient compared to
the old system, end-users tend to favor the old system because it is the system that
they are very accustomed with. They do not want to get out of their comfort zones to
learn this new system. And these employees are anxious of change in the workplace,
so they resist these changes. But one must remember, “There is nothing permanent
except change”. Like other companies, BatStateU – Rosario also experiences this
resistance to change in improving business processes thru hardware and software
technology implementations.

F. Centralized development and deployment of information systems. As mentioned,

BatStateU has two (2) main campuses, two (2) satellite campuses, and six (6)
extension campuses distributed at strategic towns and cities of Batangas. For
developing information systems, this is centralized and done at BatStateU – Main I,
where the university-wide ICT Services Office is situated. There is a possibility that
the developed information system may not be feasible to all campuses of BatStateU.
On the other hand, if there is a need of a particular information system for a particular
campus, for example, at BatStateU – Rosario, a request letter must be made for the
development of such information system. But its development will not commence

CMSC 209
Batangas State University – Rosario Page |8
 MISOP Management Information Systems Operational Plan

immediately because this request needs to be examined and approved by the Director
of ICT Services Office, Vice-President for Administration and External Affairs
(VPAEA), Vice-President for Finance and Resource Generation (VPFRG), and the
University President. If this information system would only benefit one campus and is
not feasible to all other campuses, it is likely that the request will be denied.

G. No in-house programmers available per campus. As mentioned in MIS Constraint

item F, since the development of information systems is centralized at ICT Services
Office at BatStateU – Main I, all in-house programmers of the university are
employed there. There are no in-house programmers dedicated per BatStateU
campus. There are computer / laboratory technician per campus, but they are only
specialized in troubleshooting and in maintaining computer systems in the Computer
and Internet Laboratories. So, if there are problems or errors encountered in the
information system implemented in the campus, it will be reported back at BatStateU
– Main I Campus ICT Services Office. There is no immediate response for the
reported problems or errors because it depends upon the availability of these in-house
programmers. It will take days or weeks for the problem to be solved.

H. Hardware / software technology integration. In relation to MIS Constraint item F,

there is a possibility that the hardware / software technologies deployed in a particular
BatStateU campus may not work efficiently and effectively as implemented in Main I
and Main II campuses. The primary cause of the problem is the difference of the ICT
infrastructures in all BatStateU campuses. For example, BatStateU – Main I’s ICT
infrastructure is far more sophisticated compared to the ICT infrastructure of
BatStateU – Rosario. Because of this, the hardware and software setup designed from
the ICT infrastructure of BatStateU – Main I may not possibly work in BatStateU –
Rosario, because the setup is not designed to suit the actual ICT infrastructure of
BatStateU – Rosario.

Identification of Optimum
Mix of Projects or
Activities

A. Inclusion of ICT-related courses to all academic programs in the University to

develop within all students an understanding of ICT and how it can be leveraged to
facilitate lifelong-learning experiences. This activity solely involves the Vice-President
for Academic Affairs (VPAA) and the University Registrar. The BatStateU Information
and Communications Technology (ICT) Office is only responsible for updating the
encoded courses in the enrolment system duly approved by the VPAA and the University
Registrar. A program curriculum usually takes five (5) years of implementation. Within
this five-year implementation, this curriculum is also evaluated. If the program

CMSC 209
Batangas State University – Rosario Page |9
 MISOP Management Information Systems Operational Plan

curriculum needs to be changed based on the evaluation, then it will undergo revision.
So, any curriculum changes happen usually every five years after its implementation.

B. Attendance and participation of students, faculty members, and staff to all ICT
trainings, seminars, workshops, conferences, and symposia available to increase
awareness of technologies that can aid the teaching-and-learning process. Attendance
and participation of students, faculty members, and staff to all ICT trainings, seminars,
workshops, conferences, and symposia depends upon the schedule of these activities.

C. Procurement of state-of-the-art instructional facilities and resources for effective

implementation of outcomes-based education system. The Director for Administrative
and Financial Services Unit of BatStateU – Rosario is responsible for the
accomplishment of the Annual Procurement Plan (APP) for the whole campus. This is
usually done every August – September of every year. This APP applies for the next
fiscal year. So, whenever there is a need for procuring additional facilities and resources,
this must be included in the APP made last August – September of the previous fiscal
year so that budget can be allocated to the said request.

D. Procurement of state-of-the-art research facilities and resources for enabling

advancements in research techniques and collaborations. Same with item C,
procurement of research facilities and resources must also be included in the APP
formulated on the previous fiscal year so that budget can be allocated to the said request.

E. Utilization of technologies available that can facilitate new or revised approaches to

flexible program / unit content delivery. Same with items C and D, procurement of
technologies must also be included in the APP formulated on the previous fiscal year so
that budget can be allocated to the said request.

F. Improvement of the University’s Student Information System to support a range of

new and innovative services, including flexible enrolment systems, self-service
options, and integration with other ICT services. Information system maintenance is
done regularly. Maintenance includes changing programs, procedures, or documentation
to ensure correct system performance; adapting the system to changing requirements; and
making the system operate more efficiently. This can be corrective, adaptive, perfective,
and preventive maintenance.
Corrective and preventive maintenance are done daily. Corrective maintenance
includes diagnosing and fixing logic errors, replacing defective network cabling,
restoring proper configuration settings, debugging program code, and updating drivers.
Preventive maintenance includes installing new antivirus software, developing backup
schedule, including offsite and cloud-based strategies, implementing regular
defragmentation process, analyzing problem report for patterns, tightening all cable
connections, and developing user guide covering confidentiality rules and unauthorized
use of IT resources.
Adaptive maintenance is done every semester / academic year starts. This
includes adding online capability, adding support for mobile devices, adding new data
entry field to input screen, installing links to website, and creating employee portal.

CMSC 209
Batangas State University – Rosario P a g e | 10
 MISOP Management Information Systems Operational Plan

Perfective maintenance is done every start of the fiscal year because this type of
maintenance includes procurement of technological facilities and resources. Upgrading or
replacing outdated hardware, upgrading wireless network capability, and installing more
powerful network servers are examples of perfective maintenance.

G. Utilization of Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) in the library so that users can
search and locate books and other materials online. Similar to items C, D, and E,
implementation of OPAC must also be included in the APP formulated on the previous
fiscal year so that budget can be allocated to the said request.

H. Subscription to online libraries to increase library electronic book holdings. Similar

to items C, D, E, and G, subscription to online libraries must also be included in the APP
formulated on the previous fiscal year so that budget can be allocated to the said request.

I. Development and improvement of information systems that will enhance responsive

and relevant service delivery. The development and improvement of an information
system always starts with a systems request, which is a formal way of asking for IT
support. This request might propose enhancements for an existing system, the correction
of problems, the replacement of an older system, or the development of an entirely new
information system that is needed to support the campus’ current and future business
needs. The main reasons for systems requests are improved service, support for new
products and services, better performance, more information, and stronger controls.
Development of a new information system happens before every semester / academic
year ends so that it will be utilized for the next semester / academic year.

With the MIS constraints identified and depending on the urgency of projects, BatStateU –
Rosario would be able to identify an optimum mix of activities or projects:

A.
1. Development and improvement of information systems (I). Since the
development of the information system takes some time, BatStateU – Rosario
decided to start it the soonest. Also, since development and improvement of
information system is centralized and all programmers of the university are in-
house, there is little risk for this project / activity.
2. Attendance and participation of students, faculty members, and staff to all
ICT trainings, seminars, workshops, conferences, and symposia available
(B). Based on MIS Constraint item D, there is little risk if the registration fee is
shouldered by the participants, and not by the University.

B.
1. Improvement of the University’s Student Information System (F).
Improvements of the University’s Student Information System can be done in a
daily, weekly, monthly, or annual basis, depending as the need arises. There is
also little risk for this project because the programmers of the University are all
in-house.

CMSC 209
Batangas State University – Rosario P a g e | 11
 MISOP Management Information Systems Operational Plan

2. Utilization of technologies available (E). It depends upon the technologies

needed to be procured that are included in the APP formulated last fiscal year. It
also depends upon the availability of funds.

C.
1. Procurement of state-of-the-art instructional facilities and resources (C).
2. Procurement of state-of-the-art research facilities and resources (D).
3. Utilization of Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) in the library (G).
4. Subscription to online libraries (H).

This is the optimum mix for C because the items indicated above depends if these
are requested in the formulated APP last fiscal year so that budget can be allocated for the
following fiscal year. It is also subject to availability of funds.

D.
1. Inclusion of ICT-related courses to all academic programs in the University
(A). As mentioned earlier that only the VPAA and the University Registrar are
responsible for any changes in the program curriculum, it is beyond the control of
the BatStateU – Rosario ICT Services Office if there are any revisions in the
program curriculum.

Prioritization

As indicated above, the optimum mix of activities is already determined. BatStateU – Rosario
would then re-evaluate projects in the optimum list to determine their priority. This is done
because some projects need immediate implementation while some are better left for later. The
following are the projects as evaluated, with number 1 as the highest priority:
1. Development and improvement of information systems

2. Improvement of the University’s Student Information System

3. Utilization of technologies available (Subject to availability of funds)

4. Procurement of state-of-the-art instructional facilities and resources (Subject to

availability of funds)

5. Procurement of state-of-the-art research facilities and resources (Subject to availability of

funds)

6. Utilization of Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) in the library (Subject to availability
of funds)
