Question

Assume you are the IT manager of Maryland International College. What kind of information system do you suggest for Maryland International College? What will be the possible benefit of the suggested information system for the college? List at least three benefits of the suggested information system over the existing one?

Answer 1

The institution’s best information system I would consider is the Education Management Information System (EMIS). It helps to monitor and analyze the performance of education programs in an institution. It also helps to make proper decisions on the distribution and allocation of resources based on the data provided in the system. Unlike the existing information system, EMIS present the following benefits

1. It has features for automated data entry, thus saving time and resources in the administration
2. Cloud computing can be used to run the system and store data, thus saving the institution computer hardware and maintenance costs
3. EMIS uses advanced information security technologies, therefore, enhancing data privacy and security measures.
4. It incorporates attendance tracking and reports generation to access students’ learning coverage and attendance
