CHAPTER 1
IS Planning Project Organization
Introduction
Technology plays a key in today’s business environment. To truly move forward as

business in a competitive environment an organization must progress in its uses of
technology and systems as they can lead to significant cost savings and efficiency
improvements. Many companies greatly rely on computers and software to provide more
accurate information to effectively manage their business. It is becoming increasingly
necessary for all businesses to incorporate information technology solutions to operate
successfully.
A portfolio of computer-based applications is identified that will assist an

organization in executing its business plans and realize its business goals. There is a growing
realization that the application of information technology (IT) to a firm’s strategic activities
has been one of the most common and effective ways to improve business performance. [1]
In order to be effective, development of any type of computer-based system should be a
response to need--whether at the transaction processing level or at the more complex
information and support systems levels. Such planning for information systems is much like
strategic planning in management. Objectives, priorities, and authorization for information
systems projects need to be formalized.
Information communication technology (ICT) also play an essential role in helping
the local economy to grow most of the businesses and people to find jobs. The government,
for its part, has been promoting the spread of ICT as means of interconnect the country, even
out social opportunities, raise overall living standards and attain global competitiveness. [2]
Driven by demand and challenges for every businesses today is how to achieve the goal and
to use this valuable resources of this technologies.
Information management depends on the governance or information politics, is used
not only to exercise authority but is an art for achieving corporate consensus. It guides how
individuals and groups cooperate to achieve business objectives. It also depends on business
plan alignment in which IT business plan must be congruent with the organization’s business
plan or the worth of the IT plan will always be suspect.
Inventory management system are just one of the information technology outputs that
considered the most important monitoring system that keep track of valuable assets of the
company and also track how much of any given product remains unsold in a particular period
of time like the manufacturing and merchandising companies. This system had come with a
long process of strategic planning to meet with the demands of accurate tracking
managements and other valuable resources which gives companies better future planning.
In parallel with this Silliman University currently has embarked an eight-year
strategic plan for the years 2008-2016 with the first 4 (four) years is the roadmap showing
where, what, and how the University is going to be steered in the next four years which
combines the projects and activities of the different units in the University. [3] One of the
important offices in the University specially the Property Custodian office has to seek a better
information system strategic plan that will improve the business process, efficient and
effective asset management systems which will aim to focus the development of the system
along way that will lead towards achieving its vision, mission and goals.
Through the formulation of this information system strategic plan and the capacity to
achieve this goals will deliver the efficient and accurate inventory management and right
information in timely manner, and with the advancement use of technology and best practices
the results would be a success to the University.
With strategic analysis it will aim and seeks to understand the environment, the
resources, expectations and purpose, to takes strategic choices to generates and gather some
best strategies and options that will help and guide in implementing the best strategic plan.
With immediate outlining details the objectives aims to seek different areas to focus on how
the strategy being handled that will parallel on the needs of the Property Custodian Office.
These areas are the services, the policies, information technology, the organization, and the
standards and operations.

Organizational Assessment
1. Organizational Background
The Business and Finance building was built in early 1952 now the building called
Ruiz Hall after Dr. Leopoldo Ruiz, the first Filipino President in Silliman University on
August 26, 1952. The building is located right beside of the oldest building in Negros
Oriental the Silliman Hall building. The building was built in a well-situated four storey
structure at the corner of Rizal Boulevard and Silliman Avenue with commanding views of
the Dumaguete port and the Rizal Boulevard. This building also known as admin building
where the first floor is the called the Business and Finance Office.
At present business and finance office comprises of different business sections such
as the accounting department, the student accounts section, vice president & finance office,
the payroll section, the business audit and budget office, the treasurer’s office, and the
property custodian office.
This property custodian office is embedded as one entity in the business office
especially under the supervision of the vice president for finance. Property custodian office
play an important role in the business and finance processing unit. This office will hold
accountable to all the properties like lands, buildings, vehicles, and other assets especially
computers like servers, desktop computers, laptops, printers and other computer accessories.
As stated in the current Silliman University Strategic Plan 2008-2016 while keeping
its vision, mission and goals this office aims to serves as part of the development of the
university to strengthen and spread Silliman apostolate of excellence of its academic and
institutional life. And by improving the quality of Silliman’s programs and offering, its
faculty and staff, its assets and organization, and its degree of public value and support. As
one part of the body in Silliman University the fundamental policies of the University is the
foundation where this office still exists. See appendix A, for the Vision, Mission and Goals
of Silliman University.
The History
Some people have known about Silliman University, but they don’t know where
Silliman University is located. Well, Silliman University is located in heart of Dumaguete
City, “the city of gentle people” or “the university town” as what others says a quiet, peaceful
seaside community a good place for people who really love education. The university campus
has a total land area of 62 hectares composed of the main campus along Hibbard Avenue,
and the campus for the College of Agriculture and the Institute of Environmental and Marine
Sciences to the north. Dotted by large acacia trees, the main campus is home to most of the
colleges and schools of the university and is adjacent to the city's downtown district.
According to Silliman history website “Silliman is one of select higher education
institutions in the country granted autonomous status by the Commission on Higher
Education. The same government agency has also designated Silliman as a Center of
Excellence in Nursing Education and Teacher Education and a Center of Development in
Biology, Information Technology Education and Accountancy.” But the real story of
Silliman started right after the end of World War I.
It was the year 1898. On May 1, the lopsided victory of Admiral George Dewey’s
fleet against the Spanish Armada of Patricio Montojo in the Battle of Manila Bay ushers in
the early beginning of American rule in the Philippine Archipelago. In the same year, three
weeks before the signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10, U.S. President William
McKinley in an interview with members of the clergy, declares his intention to keep the
Philippines. This historic development give rise to the religious aspirations of American rule
quite apart from her political and military objectives. One of the first to heed the challenge
is the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church with the transfer of Rev. James
Burton Rogers, A.B., and B.D., from Brazil to Manila who was later joined by Rev. and Mrs.
David Sutherland Hibbard, M.A., B.D.
In December 1898 Dr. Horace Brinsmade Silliman, Ll,D., a retired businessman and
philanthropist of Cohoes, New York, and also a long-time supporter of a number of schools
in the United States, walks into the Manhattan office of the Board of Foreign Missions of the
Presbyterian Church and offers, $10,000 to start an industrial school for Filipino Boys.
Now, Silliman enrolment gradually grew up and started to accept students
neighboring Asian countries. It was in 1938 when Silliman Institute was granted the
university status from the Philippines government and became Silliman University.
For the first half of the century, Silliman was run and operated by Americans. After
the Second World War and until the early 1950s, moves for the Filipinization of the
university administration began to come closer to the surface. Filipino faculty members
began to assume more important positions and, as more of these faculty members took
administrative roles, the Board of Trustees elected the university's first Filipino president,
Dr. Leopoldo Ruiz, on August 26, 1952, officially taking office on April 1953. A Silliman
alumnus (A.B. '16), Ruiz had a long experience in higher education and in the Foreign
Service. Before his appointment, he took up graduate studies in sociology at Columbia and
Yale, with an M.A. (1924) from the former institution, as well as a Ph.D. (1942) from the
University of Southern California
The rich contribution of Silliman to Philippine history has earned it the distinction of
National Landmark from the National Historical Institute on June 19, 2002. Growth of
Silliman in the early period was greatly attributable to the support of the local community.
Local families shared in the vision of Dr. Silliman and believed in the educational pursuits
of Dr. and Mrs. Hibbard, and accordingly offered their properties through sale and donation
to expand the campus. Later developments were characterized by more infrastructure
development and initiation of student activities, ranging from journalism, public speaking,
performing arts, and athletics.
At present all of the country's top universities would boast of offering quality
education. Silliman is no different. But while it joins the ranks of prestigious Philippine
universities, it is humbled by a gift of a location that signifies of the natural environment's
complement to academic learning - one feature that sets Silliman apart from the rest.
In terms of accreditation, Silliman is one of only five universities in the Philippines
with "Institutional Accreditation" by the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the
Philippines (FAAP). Institutional Accreditation is the highest certification that can be granted
to an educational institution after an over-all examination of its number of accredited
programs, the quality of its facilities, services and faculty. Incidentally, Silliman also has the
highest number of accredited programs in the country fourteen of which are on Level IV
accreditation status, the highest level that can be granted to individual programs.
The distinctions between Silliman and other institutions is that campus life revolves
around the motto Via, Veritas, Vita (of Christ being the Way, the Truth, and the Life). It is
Silliman's mission to develop the whole person within the Christian context and in a sound
environment. Students are expected to put their education to work in service to others -
another mark that distinguishes Silliman from other institutions of higher learning.
Thrust and Programs
As stated in the SUSP 2008-2016 Mobilize Silliman’s strengths and opportunities to

further advance its institutional capacities & value in building persons of competence,
character and faith. Secondly, transition Silliman from a school in a place and time, to being
a caterer of learning across places and times. Silliman thrusts are categorized into four areas
of focus. First, promoting and institutionalizing Christian witness, second raising academic
excellence, third raising the quality of governance and last, expanding relevance & reach.
With this four aspects Silliman’s operations that form the core of its strengths and
opportunities. Silliman present areas for focusing actions on in order to best attain the
university’s thrusts one of them is the faculty and staff the defining resource of the university.
Through them they can make or unmake Silliman as a learning institution. Their ability to
adapt to changing trends in their disciplines and competencies determines how Silliman is
able to prepare its students for the changing world or work and enterprise, and for leadership
in society.
The Organizational Chart of Silliman University
Silliman University as a leading Christian institution committed to total human

development for the well-being of society and environment as stated on its vision. Silliman
continues not only to provide education to students but also to the people who are working

individual committed to serves the university. From top to bottom of these organization or
institutions each and every one had unique skills, knowledge and expertise which they
contributed to the University with a common goals as stated in the Silliman Vision, Missions
and Goals.
One of the offices who served as one of the important office in the University is the
Property Custodian Office or labeled as Asset Management in the Organizational Chart.
These office was under the supervision of Vice President for Finance and Administration.
The Property Custodian Officer are responsible for all the managing equipment, supplies,
properties, and other assets of the university. The property custodian jobs not only limits to
conduct inventories of items and audit records to ensure accuracy but also records the
acquisitions, assigning an identification number and attaching any necessary tags or labels.

2. Information Technology Status of the Organization
It was in the early year of 1996 when Silliman introduces computerized enrolment
system and from that year onward Silliman Business and Finance offices have their
computerized payroll system, customized accounting system, computerized student tuition
payment system and so with the Property Custodian Office which they also used the
recording system for newly acquired equipment’s and inventories of properties.
Today, the Property Custodian Office is equipped with internet, faster computers,
printer and scanner which their primary tools in recording all the items acquired by the
university and other services they rendered. But, the system they using are not customized
according to their needs especially the reports.

The Silliman University Information Communication Technology (ICT)

Infrastructure is equipped with the advanced and latest technology system the best it can
offered to students, faculty, and staff and even to the community. The faster internet
bandwidth connection of 94 Mbps and the Wi-Fi Technology gave the university the
advanced distinctions between other schools. The online enrollment systems and online
tuitions payments and accounting systems these serves as customized built systems to
maximized the process and hassle free to the faculty and staff personnel’s and to the students
as well.
All the departments including the Property Custodian Office and other offices in
the university are interconnected, the secretaries and other staff are equipped with computers
with customized systems build by the university programmers to cater the needs of the
students. All the systems are controlled and monitored by the Management Information
Systems (MIS) Office.
One of the Silliman University general strategy as stated on the Silliman University
Strategic Plan 2008-2016 that the plan seeks to achieve its objectives in two ways: the first,
by improving the quality of Silliman’s programs and offerings, its faculty and staff, its assets
and organization, and its degree of public value and support. By maintaining its excellence
indeed Silliman University ICT-Infrastructure gives a competitive advantage towards the
delivering of its services, the learning, and the knowledge to the students, faculty and staff
the administration and to the community.
c.) Total IT expenses of the Organization
Since the Property Custodian Office was under the supervision of Vice President for
Finance with the authority of the accounting department and the university treasurer the
approved budget can only be use when there are direct and necessary needs. Most likely the
cost are roughly estimated. Other estimated expenses asides from the listing below are mainly
under the accounting department with the approval of the treasurer officer.

4.) Organization’s Concept of Operations and Beneficiaries
In proving its high standard and academic excellence Silliman University continue to
grow its strength and the capacity to deliver and acquiring the knowledge through modern
use of technology to go beyond its boundaries.
As one of the important office in the Silliman University, the Property Custodian
Office served not only to the Business and Finance Department but to the entire University.
The recording and maintaining its inventory data and records has been proven that the
existence of the system play the vital role in tracking and monitoring its assets. Indeed, the
successful of asset management monitoring system can save the organizations time, money
other managerial headaches.
Through the efforts of each and every staff working hand in hand the university can
deliver the services with accuracy and in timely manner which indeed the university as one
of its main beneficiaries.

IT technology and to widen the use of information technology by exploring other ways in
order to make jobs easy. By determining the problems and making possible solutions towards
achieving its goals and objectives are the highest priorities that need more attention and that
the property custodian wanted it to achieve. New systems and other devices are needed
specially the recording and tagging of equipment’s for easy tracking and monitoring this will
bring the organization into more productive and cost effective office in the University.

Assessment of IT Options
1. Review of IT Trends
In today’s technology, companies and business people are trying to connect their
business into the world with sophisticated technologies and gadgets, while applying different
strategies to achieve a common goal to maximize profits, meet customer demands and
manage overall operations. But much of such technology some organizations strive to gain
greater control and efficiencies when managing their assets-technology systems, office
equipment, and people. Like asset tracking and inventory management tools will help
manage the complete lifecycle of particular assets, track their location to ensure assets are
not missing or stolen, and ensure upgrades and system deployments will run effectively, and
proper disposal of items when no longer in used.
Some companies like the Wasp Barcode Technologies, [6] has been the leader in the
barcode scanner market for over 15 years, and offers a wide range of barcode scanners
designed to handle everyday business. With easily improve efficiency, save time, and reduce
errors with this technology it can help you manage your asset accurately, effectively and
secured.
In this year 2015 Technology and gadgets like barcode scanning and RFID or Radio
Frequency ID are top key technologies have been used to accomplish asset and inventory
management. In many cases, an asset and inventory management system can automate these
processes and improve inventory positions and forecasting models.
One of the most important steps in IT management and IT security is understanding
what physical and virtual IT assets an organization owns and manages. A good inventory
provides information that is useful to daily system management, business office asset
tracking, and security incident response.
Tracking IT hardware like computers, especially if it exists in multiple different
locations, can be stressful and daunting task specially the Property Custodian Officer and
assigned personnel. But with today’s technology best practices having an asset tracking
inventory management an asset management tools which you can automate the entire IT asset
property and its life cycle. This will allow yourself to breathe easily and plan for the future
landscape of your company.
Study conducted by Hartman, (2007) a study on “Automated Inventory Systems” in
today’s growing market many businesses are turning toward automated system to perform
their everyday tasks. Automated system can replace the cost and time consuming processes
that were once completed by hand and provides companies with more accurate data. One
way to know what a company has is to create inventory of the assets and maintain the
inventory list. Through this many companies can achieve significant savings by cutting out
waste. Having an inventory control system can reduce cost, and increase efficiencies of
production of employees and increase productivity for the company. [7]
Moreover, according to Packard, (2006) in “Configuration and IT asset
management” inventory management is about capturing the basics – what assets are on hand,
where they reside and who owns them. It’s about maintaining on accurate, up-to-date view
of owned hardware and software assets, so that at any time you see an “actual state” of the
components that comprise your infrastructure. The most apparent benefit is the time and
effort saved from doing physical inventories. In addition to recovering this time in the IT
organization, automated inventory, which can have sizable impact on business users,
otherwise caused by physical inventory, which can have sizable impact on business unit
productivity. Successfully implementing asset tracking into an organization, by necessity,
requires a considerable change in policies, processes and responsibilities. [8]
In today’s organization computer is a necessity, having an automated inventory
system plays a large role in today’s businesses, especially the retail industry and even private
institutions. This is because businesses want the ability to access and organize data in quick
and efficient manner. An automated inventory system is a software that allows companies to
better manage their property, equipment and to keep their data and records accurate and
updated. With this, it increases the companies’ productivity and sales while decreasing their
cost and time spent to conduct an inventory count manually.
However, Silliman University especially the Property Custodian Office is aware that
having an automated inventory system is an essential solution which provides timely,
accurate, and comprehensive asset reporting forecast that will support cost-cutting programs
which the university want to achieved. Moreover, with this information system strategic plan
and research this will help to contribute some important factors and ideas to give the
organization and its businesses focus on their biggest goal, to have a technologically
competitive and provide better services, and yield greater benefits in serving the students,
the University and the community as a whole.
2. Alternative IT Solutions
Through an interview with the head of the Silliman University Property Custodian
Miss Marcela Barandog we end up with identifying some IT related problems with possible
solutions to efficiently improve the process in recording and tracking of some valuable assets
of the university.
There were at least six possible problems where identified that will need support and
attention. Each of this problems have at least one best recommended or alternative solution
which will help the Property Custodian Officer to work effectively and efficiently while less
time doing the job especially in recording and tracking of each computer items acquired by
the university. One best recommended solution in which the custodian could accurately keep
tracks of all assets acquired by the university is to have an asset tracking devices such as
barcode tagging devices which will help keep tracks and monitors all of the computer
accessories and other items. Through this it would be easy for the personnel to locate each
items while conducting routine inspection. With the use of barcoding devices will ensure the
tagging and monitoring of each IT equipment’s can easily be track.
The second is to develop an Information Systems an Asset Tracking and Inventory
Management System a customized systems that will help the organization to manage their
property, equipment and keep their data more accurate and updated from the time they were
acquired until the disposal of such items.
The systems will have different features or modules which will provide solutions to
the current problems that the property custodian officer have been facing today on her daily
tasks. Some of this features which includes asset recording and monitoring to accurately
records and monitor every purchased and leased computers from different suppliers.
Tracking and tagging of each computers accessories this has to be done in barcode tagging

equipment’s this properly disposed computer items that no longer be benefited. Upgrading
and forecasting this will give the organization to improve planning and budgeting, save time
and money and eliminate ghost assets.
The last but not the least, this one is part of the system framework where the custodian
must at least one office room which she/he can control and monitor any activities involving

1.1 Information Systems Architecture
The following areas of concerns were selected as part of the designing the
information systems architecture of the Property Custodian Office. This areas are top
priorities of the organization as one of the critical Information Systems, which will hold the
success of the organization based on this strategic plan for three years endeavor. There are
five areas of concerns these are: Barcoding of every ICT equipment’s, recording and tracking
of leasing computers, monitoring and tagging of computers, disposal of non-working ICT
related equipment’s and last Upgrading of computers or Upgrades forecasting of computers.

Definitions of Terms
Barcode system is a network of hardware and software, consisting primarily of mobile

computers, printers, handheld scanners, infrastructure, and supporting software. Barcode
systems are used to automate data collection where hand recording is neither timely nor cost
effective. It help improve inventory accuracy as well as accelerate day-to-day operations.
Database (DB) - an organized group or set of inter-related information about a subject that
can be processed, retrieved, analyzed and used in drawing conclusions and making decisions
Hardware - the electronic and physical components, boards, peripherals and equipment that
make up a computer system as distinguished from the programs (software) that tell these
components what to do. It is the physical component consisting of the input devices, central
processor, output devices and storage devices.
ICT Solutions - the various ICT technologies that are currently existing or will be proposed
to run the information systems. Examples of ICT solutions are: for Network – Virtual Private
Network, Thin Client; Wireless; for Security – Firewall, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI); for
Storage – Storage Attached Network (SAN), Imaging, Warehousing; for Data Capture –
Biometrics, Finger Scan, Optical Scan, Optical Mark Reader (OMR), Optical Character
Recognition (OCR).
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) - is the totality of the electronic

means employed to systematically collect, process, store, present and share information to
end-users in support of their activities. It consists of computer systems, office systems,
consumer electronics and telecommunications technologies, as well as networked
information infrastructure the components of which include the telephone system, the
Internet, fax machines, computers and its accompanying methodologies, processes, rules and
conventions. A combination of computer technology, microelectronics applications, and
communications and information techniques and methods. It encompasses the use of
computers, data communications, office systems technologies, as well as any technology that
deals with modern day application of computing and/or communication. It can also be seen
as the marriage of information technology and data communication.
Information System (IS) - a system of major processes or operations which facilitates the
storage, processing, retrieval and generation of information for decision-making, planning,
controlling and monitoring purposes. It also refers to a group of related processes (manual or
computerized) designed to generate information for the exclusive support of a major
functional area of an organization (e.g. Personnel Management Information System,
Logistics Management Information System, Financial Management Information System,
etc.).
Information Systems Strategic Plan (ISSP) - refers to a three (3) to five (5) year
computerization framework of an agency which describes how the organization intends to
strategically use ICT in pursuit of its mission and functions. A written expression of how an
agency intends to use ICT to support its data processing and decision-making processes.
In-house Development - the user (within the agency) is involved in the design and operations
of IS, actively participates in the change process and the user’s knowledge and expertise is
incorporated.
Internet - a worldwide interconnection of millions of computer networks and databases. It

is popularly referred to as the Information Superhighway, the Web, or simply as the Net.
Local Area Networking (LAN) – which is confined to moderate sized geographic areas
such as one office, building, warehouse or campus.
Network - a computer-based communication and data exchange systems created by

electronically connecting two or more computers/workstations. It is composed of two or
more computers that can communicate with each other.
Network Layout – the logical or physical diagram of both the existing and proposed
interconnection of computers and associated devices to provide end-users with a means of
communicating and receiving information electronically without being limited by
geographical distance.
Operating System – software that supervises and controls tasks on a computer. The software
that directs a computer’s operations, as by controlling and scheduling the execution of other
programs and managing storage and input/output.
Server – a computer that shares its resources, such as printers and files, with other computers
on the network, an example of this is a Novell Network Server which shares its disc space
with a workstation that does not have a disk drive of its own. A computer that makes services,
as access to data files, programs and peripheral devices, available to workstations on a
network.
