The development of event application management system (EMASS) for sahabat YADIM

Abstract

Nowadays, Event Application Management System has been applied in many organizations. However, Sahabat YADIM is still using manual process to manage their application for event approval. The committee needs to wait for a long time to get the approval status from the management because of the staff in the management always overlook the email sent by the committee. Thus, the problem leads misunderstanding among the committee and the YADIM management. To overcome the problem, System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology using Prototype Model is implemented which consists of Requirement Gathering: Primary Stage, Requirement Gathering: Secondary Stage, Quick Design, Building Prototype, and Customer Evaluation. With the involvement of theory which is User-Centered Design (UCD), the proposed system is targeted to have an interface followed the user’s wants until they agree about the design besides the button is usable. The prototype of the Event Application Management System (EMASS) is tested and evaluated in term of functionality and usability by two (2) expert evaluators from different background and thirty (30) respondents. For the result, it shows that the development of EMASS was satisfied the users as most of the evaluation criteria show good score of the mean value. Since this system improves the management of paperwork application for event approval in the organization, this system will be advantageous to those who plan to implement event application system in the future and to those who have already implemented it and would like to make it better.
