Track: Undergraduate Student Paper Competition

Abstract

The advancement of technology required most organizations today to utilize an integrated information system. The use of such system was proven to help improve different types of processes through elimination of delays and minimizing errors. This study was conducted to review and analyze the current room reservation system of a higher education institution in the Philippines which was found to be highly manual, time consuming, and tedious. Different units were responsible for the management of various rooms and their office locations were scattered around the campus that required too much traveling activities. Similarly, delays were also experienced due to availability issues of the concerned and authorized personnel who will approve the usage of rooms. Through information system design, an online system called eReserba Cardinal was created to facilitate ease of room management, provide real-time information, and offer a convenient manner of room reservation for students, faculty and personnel.
