Event Management System Capstone Project Document

About the project.

Event   Management   System (EMS) is a web based application that supports online registration and feedback evaluation for event training programs such as games, seminars and workshops. It helps program attendees, organizers, the authors and the reviewers in their respective activities.Development of Event management system is an attempt to address the problems of managing registration forms, feedback forms and evaluating feedback. The main goal of this software is to give working solution to store, manage and consolidate the registration data and the feedback data.

The scope of the project is just limited to a laptop or a pc with an internet connection. Firstly the user, whoever it may be (student of faculty) need to register to the website. After the registration process is completed each one of them gets a password and have their own user ids. With these two they can access their account and for any query they can contact the administrator by sending him a mail.

• Facility to schedule a meeting.
• Facility to see participants engagement’s dairy
• Facility to invite participants over mail
• Facility to cancel the Events
• Participants option for denying the invitation

Review Of Literature

Existing system.

• In existing system there are lot of paper work and manual processing.
• While writing a paper records the management have to keep the records very carefully as the entire data is written in those books.
• Everything is paper based hence it is very time consuming.
• More than one person cannot access the data at same time.

Limitations Of The Existing System

• Lot of paper work required.
• Man power was more.
• Time consuming process.

Proposed System

Proposed online student registration system will eliminate all the manual intervention and increase the speed of whole process.   System will allow student to fill the form online, system has inbuilt validation system to validate the entered data. After successful submission, system will give unique registration ID for each student. Student can login into system by using this registration ID and can give online feedback. System will generate the result instantly and store the results for further use.

Improve management productivity, satisfaction and retention by Eliminate paper trails and manual process with complete online management for handling management for registration of events.

Manage all students’ information easily in comprehensive students record that includes   students information. Simply Event Management System with easy record management. Faculty can easily manage the attendance of the students who are participating in certain events.

Software Features

Since the Internet is packed with millions of acronyms, PHP is another one! PHP stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. Yes, the acronym is recursive and for the purposes of this class, we will just call it “PHP.” PHP is a server-side scripting language and is very similar to C, Java, and Perl. PHP allows the Programmer to dynamically generate content, instead of statically like regular ‘ol’ HTML. This tutorial will cover uses of PHP from simple data processing of forms to parsing a page for relevant information.

Free webhosting services with PHP exist, but a function like sending e-mail is probably disabled. Stanford (fortunately) provides limited PHP support sufficient enough for the scope of this course

Introduction to PHP: WHY PHP?

Currently the main alternatives to PHP are

• ASP Active Server Pages
• JSP Java Server Pages
• CFML Cold Fusion Markup Language

 ASP is proprietary belonging to Microsoft and requires MS server in order to run. ASP allows you to combine HTML, Vbscript, JavaScript and reusable Active X components to create dynamic web pages. ASP is costly to implement due to the reliance on MS products. It is slower to execute than PHP, ASP has a steeper learning curve especially for first time web developers. ASP can run on a Linux server using Apache and “Chill soft ASP” but is generally limited to Windows 2000 servers.

JSP has both commercial and open source versions. JSP is not very popular with Internet service providers and they usually charge an additional fee for this service. JSP is more difficult to learn, however the syntax is similar to PHP & JavaScript. There are different versions of JSP that vary in speed, stability and quality.

 ColdFusion MX is a proprietary technology belonging to Macromedia. It is tag based like HTML so it is easy to learn. Because it is similar to HTML it can sometimes be difficult to identify server side code from client side code.

 PHP is free, nonproprietary and more than 6 million web sites use PHP. It is the second most popular scripting language and its use is growing faster than any other scripting language. Based on search engine popularity PHP’s growth per year is 4694% compared to ASP growth of 278%.

  PHP is available on approx 40% of all Apache Servers. PHP is suited to development of ecommerce sites and a wide range of database connectivity. PHP runs on UNIX, Windows and Mac platforms. PHP can also be used to create shockwave, PDF files and parse XML. PHP was developed so it could be to inserted directly into HTML documents.

Embedding PHP into HTML includes:

1) Quicker response time

2) Improved security

3) Transparency to the end user

• PHP language syntax is borrowed from C with elements of Perl, C++ and Java.
• PHP is also integrates easily with MySQL which is a free non-proprietary database. MySQL can be used to create large powerful databases and because it is free is often favored by non-profit organizations.

Introduction to PHP4:

PHP is a server side HTML embedded scripting language that allows you to make web sites dynamic, connect to databases, process forms and adds many other features to your web site.

Before you create web pages with PHP you need to the following items:

1) Install a server on your computer e.g. Microsoft IIs, Apache or Omnipro

2) Download, install and configure PHP (it’s free)

3) You will require an Internet account that supports PHP

4) If you plan to work with MySQL you ISP will need to offer this feature (MySQL is free, but MySQL  hosting usually is not) – you can test your database locally

Since MS IIs server comes with Windows OS, we will be using this server, you can use any server but each server requires its own setup and configuration. Also if you put more than one server on your computer make sure they are not running simultaneously. On a good day server installation and PHP installation takes about 15 minutes. On a bad day it can take quite a bit longer.

1) Install MS IIs as directed – find the folder Inetpub\wwwroot and place a simple html file into the folder with a message for testing. Make sure its on. Control panel>Administrative tools>Personal web server. You may wish to make a shortcut to the file on your desktop.

your server is working

Save the file in the folder Inetpub/wwwroot and name it test.html

Open your browser and load the file by typing in:

http://localhost/test.html

c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test.html

http:// 192.168.1.103/test.html

2) Go to www.php.net>downloads>find or the latest version of PHP and download PHP 4.3.4 installer [1,043Kb] (CGI only, MySQL support built-in, packaged as Windows installer to install and configure PHP, and automatically configure IIS, PWS and Xitami, with manual configuration for other servers. N.B. no external extensions included) you should turn the IIs server off before installing, and then turn back on after you installed PHP.

3) Test whether or not PHP is working creates a small file and save it inside the www root folder inside Inetpub.

Use Note page create the PHP test file

Phpinfo ();

Save as test.php or phpinfo.php then using your browser: type in the URLhttp://localhost/php.info ();

If PHP is working you will see a screen with PHP version 4.3 and all of its features – if you don’t, check that the server is on, uninstall and install PHP again.

4) Finally you need to configure the php.ini file stored in your c:\WINNT folder go to this folder and select show all files>view as a list (not your WINNT folder may be on a drive other than C :\). Double click on the php.ini file or load the file into notepad. This file configures php and its settings. You should read it at least once to know what is in there but to start you need to modify 3 settings on your computer. Use Notepad find feature to locate these lines of code.

• a) Cgi.force_redirect=0; (set to 0 i.e. false is required to work on IIs)
• b) Error reporting = E_ALL change to

Error reporting = E_ALL &~ (E_NOTICE | E_USER_NOTICE);

If you don’t do this when you create forms you will get undefined variable errors

• c) Register_globals = On

(or = 1) you will read this is a security risk, which is true if you used your machine for a server on the Internet but if you are only using if for testing don’t worry. You need to do this so you don’t get undefined variables with forms).

We will download, install and configure MySQL at a later time.

Another possible problem that could arise on some machines is that you must turn the file permission for www.root file on. Right click on the folder>properties> make sure the file sharing is turned on. On some machines at SAIT the IIS files are on the machine inside I386 folder. Also make sure if Apache is on the machine it is turned off.

The following are some advantages of using someone else’s Web environment:

• It’s easier than setting up your own: You just copy your Web pages onto the other party’s computer, and that’s it. You don’t need to install any software or hardware or resolve any computer problems. Someone else handles that for you.
• Less technical skill is required: You need to understand only Web languages, such as HTML and PHP. You don’t need to know about Internet connections, Web servers, computer administration, and other technical things. Some people are very interested in these things, but some are not.

The advantages of running your own Web environment are as follows:

• Control: You get to make all the decisions. You can set up the Web environment the way that works best for you.
• Access: You can access the computer whenever you want to work on your Web site.
• Stability: You won’t wake up one morning to discover that your Web hosting company has gone out of business and you have two days to move your site.
• Security: Because you control the Web environment, you are the only person who needs to access the computer. You can keep it under lock and key. When you use a Web hosting company, other people have access to the computer, and one of them may be a bad guy who’s after your secrets.

PHP has many features designed specifically for use in Web sites, including the following:

• Interact with HTML forms: PHP can display an HTML form and process the information that the user types in.
• Communicate with databases: PHP can interact with databases to store information from the user or retrieve information that is displayed to the user.
• Generate secure Web pages: PHP allows the developer to create secure Web pages that require users to enter a valid username and password before seeing the Web page content.

PHP features make these and many other Web page tasks easy. PHP is only server-side, meaning it can’t interact directly with the user’s computer. That means PHP can’t initiate actions based on the status of the user’s computer, such as mouse actions or screen size. Therefore, PHP alone can’t produce some popular effects, such as navigation menus that drop down or change color. On the other hand, JavaScript, a client-side scripting language, can’t access the server, limiting its possibilities. For example, you can’t use JavaScript to store data on the server or retrieve data from the server. But wait! You don’t have to choose. You can use JavaScript and PHP together to produce Web pages that neither can produce alone. See Chapter 11 for details on using JavaScript and PHP together.

HTML, which stands for Hypertext Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. HTML is the basic building-blocks of webpage.

HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags, enclosed in angle brackets (like), within the web page content. HTML tags normally come in pairs like

. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags).

The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and compose them into visual or audible web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page.

HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It can embed scripts in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML WebPages.

Web browsers can also refer to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the appearance and layout of text and other material. The W3C, maintainer of both the HTML and the CSS standards, encourages the use of CSS over explicitly presentational HTML markup.

HTML markup consists of several key components, including elements (and their attributes), character-based data types, character references and entity references. Another important component is the document type declaration, which triggers standards mode rendering.

The Hello world program, a common computer program employed for comparing programming languages, scripting languages and markup languages is made of 9 lines of code although in HTML newlines are optional:

            MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. MySQL is officially pronounced (“My S-Q-L”), but is often also pronounced (“My Sequel”). It is named after developer Michael Widenius daughter, my. The SQL phrase stands for Structured Query Language.

The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements. MySQL was owned and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now owned by Oracle Corporation.

Free-software projects that require a full-featured database management system often use MySQL. For commercial use, several paid editions are available, and offer additional functionality. Some free software project examples: Joomla, Word Press, MyBB, phpBB, Drupal and other software built on the LAMP software stack. MySQL is also used in many high-profile, large-scale World Wide Web products, including Wikipedia, Google (though not for searches) and Face book.

MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications, and is a central component of the widely used LAMP web application software stack—LAMP is an acronym for “Linux, Apache, MySQL, and Perl/PHP/Python”.

PLATFORMS AND INTERFACES:

MySQL is written in C and C++. Its SQL parser is written in yacc, and a home-brewed lexical analyzer named sql_lex.cc.

MySQL works on many different system platforms, including AIX, BSDi, FreeBSD, HP-UX, eComStation, i5/OS, IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, NetBSD, Novell NetWare, OpenBSD, Open Solaris, OS/2 Warp, QNX, Solaris, Symbian, SunOS, SCO Open Server, SCO UnixWare, Sanos and Tru64. A port of MySQL to OpenVMS also exists.

Many programming languages with language-specific APIs include libraries for accessing MySQL databases. These include MySQL Connector/Net for integration with Microsoft’s Visual Studio (languages such as C# and VB are most commonly used) and the ODBC driver for Java. In addition, an ODBC interface called MyODBC allows additional programming languages that support the ODBC interface to communicate with a MySQL database, such as ASP or ColdFusion.

The HTSQL – URL based query method also ships with a MySQL adapter, allowing direct interaction between a MySQL database and any web client via structured URLs. The MySQL server and official libraries are mostly implemented in ANSI C/ANSI C++.

DEPLOYMENT:

MySQL can be built and installed manually from source code, but this can be tedious so it is more commonly installed from a binary package unless special customizations are required. On most Linux distributions the package management system can download and install MySQL with minimal effort, though further configuration is often required to adjust security and optimization settings.

Though MySQL began as a low-end alternative to more powerful proprietary databases, it has gradually evolved to support higher-scale needs as well. It is still most commonly used in small to medium scale single-server deployments, either as a component in a LAMP based web application or as a standalone database server. Much of MySQL’s appeal originates in its relative simplicity and ease of use, which is enabled by an ecosystem of open source tools such as phpMyAdmin.

In the medium range, MySQL can be scaled by deploying it on more powerful hardware, such as a multi-processor server with gigabytes of memory. There are however limits to how far performance can scale on a single server, so on larger scales, and multi-server MySQL deployments are required to provide improved performance and reliability. A typical high-end configuration can include a powerful master database which handles data write operations and is replicated to multiple slaves that handle all read operations.

The master server synchronizes continually with its slaves so in the event of failure a slave can be promoted to become the new master, minimizing downtime. Further improvements in performance can be achieved by caching the results from database queries in memory using memcached, or breaking down a database into smaller chunks called shards which can be spread across a number of distributed server clusters.

COMMAND LINE:

MySQL ships with a suite of command-line tools for tasks such as querying the database, backing up data, inspecting status, performing common tasks such as creating a database, and many more. A variety of third-party command-line tools is also available, including Maatkit, which is written in Perl.

FORKS OF MYSQL:

• Drizzle  – a fork targeted at the web-infrastructure and cloud computing markets. The developers of the product describe it as a “smaller, slimmer and (hopefully) faster version of MySQL”. As such is planned to have many common MySQL features stripped out, including stored procedures, query cache, prepared statements, views, and triggers.
• MariaDB  – a community-developed branch of the MySQL database, the impetus being the community maintenance of its free status under GPL as opposed to any uncertainty of MySQL license status under its current ownership by Oracle. The intent also being to maintain high fidelity with MySQL, ensuring a “drop-in” replacement capability with library binary equivalency and exacting matching with MySQL APIs and commands. It includes the XtraDB storage engine as a replacement for InnoDB.
• Percona Server  – a fork that includes the XtraDB storage engine. It is an enhanced version of MySQL that is fully compatible, and deviates as little as possible from it, while still providing beneficial new features, better performance, and improved instrumentation for analysis of performance and usage.
• Our Delta – is best characterized as a source of binaries compiled with various patches, including patches from MariaDB, Percona, and Google.
• Solution Stack In computing, a solution stack is a set of software subsystems or components needed to deliver a fully functional solution, e.g. a product or service.

Database Analysis

Database design is an important place in designing a system. During this phase care should be taken to avoid redundancy of information storing into a database, since it leads to wastage of memory space.

Normalization Techniques:

Normalization is a process of simplifying the relationship between data elements in a record. Through normalization a collection of data in a records structure is replaced by successive record structures that are simpler and more predictable and therefore more manageable.

• First Normal Form

A relation is said to be in first normal form if the values in the relation are atomic for every attribute in the relation .By this we mean simply that no attribute value can be a set of values or as it sometimes expressed, a repeating group.

• Second Normal Form

A relation is said to be in second normal form if it is in first normal form and it should satisfy any one of the following rules.Primary key is a not a composite primary key.No non-key attribute is fully functionally dependent on full set of primary key

• Third Normal Form

A relation is said to be in third normal form if it is in second normal form and if their exits no transitive dependencies

• Transitive Dependency

If two non-key attributes depends on each other as well as on the primary key then they are said to be transitively dependent. the above normalization principles where applied to decompose the data in multiple tables there by making the data to be maintained in a consistent state.

DATABASE DESIGN

Description: This table is to store the registration details

Table Name: Login

Description: This table is to  store the user login details.

      Table Name: Event Detail

Description: This table is to store the event details.

  Table Name: Event Register Detail

      Description: This table is to store the student’s Registration details.

Table Name: Event Status

      Description: This table is to store the event mark details.

5.2 INPUT DESIGN

The input design of this project is the Web Forms are based on Html, JSP and PHP. Working with Web Forms is similar to working with Windows Forms. But the difference is that we will create Web pages with Web forms that will be accessible by a Web browser. Web Forms are Web pages that serve as the user interface for a Web application. A Web Forms page presents information to the user in any browser or client device and implements application logic using server-side code.

Testing is a process to show the correctness of the program. Testing is needed to show completeness, t improve the quality of the software and to provide the maintenance aid. Some testing standards are therefore necessary reduce the testing costs and operation time.

Testing software extends throughout the coding phase and it represents the ultimate review of configurations, design and coding. Based on the way the software reacts to these testing, we can decide whether the configuration that has been built is study or not. All components of an application are tested, as the failure to do so many results in a series of bugs after the software is put to use.

Black box testing

Black box testing also called behavioral testing, focuses on the functional requirements of software. This testing approach enables the software engineer to derive the input conditions that will fully exercise all requirements for a program. Blackbox testing attempts to find the errors like

• Incorrect or missing functions
• Interface errors
• Errors in data structures or external database access
• Behavior or performance errors
• Initialization and termination errors

In Black box testing software is exercised over a full range of inputs and outputs are observed for correctness.

White box testing

Whitebox testing is also called Glassbox testing is a test case design control; structure of the procedural design to derive test cases using Whitebox testing method, the software engineer can derive the test cases that guarantee that all independent paths within the module have been exercised at least once. Exercise all logic decisions on their true or false sides. Execute all loops at their boundaries and within their operational bounds. Exercise internal data structure to ensure their validity.

Software testing strategies

Testing involves

• Unit testing
• Integration testing
• Acceptance testing

The first level of test is unit testing. The purpose of unit testing is to ensure that each program is fully tested.

The second step is integration testing. In this individual program units or programs are integrated and tested as a complete system to ensure that the software requirements are met.

Acceptance Testing involves planning and the execution of various types of tests in order to demonstrate that the implemented software system satisfies the requirements. Finally our project meets the requirements after going through all the levels of testing.

Testing the application

Application should be thoroughly tested before releasing it into the market. Testing will show if the application is delivering the expected results. In this case we have given some wrong values to the application so that we can counter the errors produced by the application in such a case. Next topic is test cases, where 10 test cases are considered and checked if the test results are positive or not.

System Implementation

         Implementation is the phase where the system goes for actual functioning. Hence in this phase one has to be cautious because all the efforts undertaken during the project will be fruitful only if the software is properly implemented according to the plans made.

The implementation phase is less creative than system design. It is primarily concerned with user training, site preparation and file conversion. Depending on the nature of the system, extensive user training may be required. The initial parameters of the MIS should be modified as the result of programming efforts; programming provides a reality test for the assumptions made by the analyst.

          Conclusion

The interface are so designed and channeled the users can never make any mistake while using the application, till the time either they save or cancel the current operation all other operations are blocked.

Future Enhancement

The design of the Website is created and the system is entirely designed for Stand Alone usage; according to the need of the customer if needed the design is to be published as a website using Domain Server with Network facility to handle the branch activities also. In future the online shopping and other online support for the consumers were carried out through the website.

The Ultimate Event Project Management Guide: Everything You Need to Know

In today’s competitive business environment, project management is more critical than ever. It provides a roadmap for strategic alignment, risk management, cost efficiency, and quality control. There are different types of project management frameworks. Here are some of them: 

Waterfall is a sequential project management methodology in which tasks are completed in a pre-defined order. Each project phase must be completed before the next step can begin. 

This makes it difficult to change the project once it has started. Waterfall is often used for projects with well-defined requirements and a low change risk.

Agile is an iterative and incremental project management methodology in which projects are broken down into smaller chunks called sprints. Teams work on each sprint in short bursts. The Agile framework allows for changing the requirements and incorporating feedback quickly. 

Lean is a project management methodology that focuses on eliminating waste and streamlining processes. It is often used in software development, but it can also be applied to other types of projects. Lean is based on the following principles:

• Identify and eliminate waste.
• Focus on customer value.
• Continuously improve processes.

Six Sigma is a data-driven project management methodology focusing on improving quality and reducing flaws. It is often used in manufacturing, but it can also be used in other industries. Six Sigma is based on the following principles:

• Define the problem.
• Measure the current process.
• Analyze the data to identify the root cause of the problem.
• Improve the operation to eliminate the root cause of the problem.
• Control the process to ensure that the improvement is sustained.

Hybrid Methodologies

Hybrid methodologies combine elements of different traditional and modern methodologies to create a custom approach that meets the specific needs of a project or organization. For example, a hybrid methodology might combine the sequential approach of Waterfall with the iterative approach of Agile.

What is Event Project Management?

Event project management is the application of project management principles and techniques to event planning and execution. This includes defining project scope, setting and tracking objectives, creating a project plan, managing resources, and evaluating success. It involves coordinating every event detail, from the initial concept to the final wrap-up.

Event project management requires coordinating multiple internal and external teams, all working together to execute flawless events.

It’s worth noting that event project management is temporary in nature, as its ultimate goal is to develop well-established and automated workflows that can be used to scale. This means that professionals must constantly look for ways to streamline processes and improve efficiency.

Teamwork is another essential aspect of any event project management. Organizers must effectively collaborate with various stakeholders, including providers, vendors, agencies, industry influencers, speakers, and team members.

Ultimately, the success of any event project management hinges on the ability of professionals to coordinate and execute all of the moving parts seamlessly. By carefully planning and preparing, organizers can ensure that their events are executed flawlessly, living up to the expectations of all stakeholders involved. 

When To Initiate Event Project Management?  

Initiating event project management is a strategic decision. However, there are specific circumstances when initiating event project management becomes critical. These circumstances are often unique to the nature of the event or project. Let’s explore some of these scenarios:

Deploying a New Events Strategy 

Event project management is required when designing a new events strategy. This process involves elements such as:

• Identifying new opportunities within the retail landscape.
• Analyzing customers’ expectations. 
• Understanding potential challenges unique to the industry.
• Crafting a comprehensive plan tailored to execute the events strategy effectively.

Subsequently, these steps may translate into launching innovative in-store events, exclusive product launches, or online sales events. But only by initiating event project management will companies be able to align their efforts with their business goals, creating memorable customer experiences. 

Launching a New Type of Event or Exceptionally Large Events

Introducing new event types or exceptionally large-scale retail events can pose specific challenges for enterprises and retailers. These might include grand seasonal sales, Black Friday extravaganzas, or store openings.  A great example would be when Salomon, the innovative French sporting goods company, launched its infamous Salomon Experiences , for sports fans around the world, on its website . 

Event project management becomes essential to oversee resources, ensure good execution, and deliver a positive experience to attendees. For retailers, this means creating an immersive retail environment that engages customers and maximizes sales opportunities.

Implementing New Event Management Software 

Companies and retailers often rely on event management software to streamline operations, integrate multiple data points, and enhance customer experience. The implementation of new event management software introduces changes in processes and workflows. 

To make this transition smoother, reduce potential operational glitches, and enhance overall efficiency, retailers should initiate event project management. By doing so, they can ensure that the event management software integration aligns with their specific needs.

As an example, Pierre Fabre implemented Eventtia as its group’s event software for 40 brands in 13 countries in 2018. To this day, more than 300 events, including corporate events, retail partners seminars and webinars.

Initiating the Collaboration with New Agencies and Suppliers

Event project management is invaluable for companies seeking to work with new event agencies, vendors, and suppliers. Collaborating with different partners often entails understanding new working styles, managing diverse expectations, and ensuring seamless communication throughout the supply chain. 

By initiating event project management, retailers can facilitate better coordination, improve communication channels, and foster mutual understanding.

Running Events with New Partners, Industry Influencers, and KOLs

Hosting events with new partners, industry influencers, and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) can significantly impact brand visibility and customer engagement. Initiating event project management is essential to manage these collaborations effectively. 

Companies and retailers can ensure that such partnerships are aligned with their brand identity, target audience, and business goals. This approach allows them to make the most of these influential partnerships, whether it’s through in-store appearances or joint event marketing initiatives.

For example, Campari Group is frequently organizing brand activation campaigns at some of the most popular music  and art festivals, inviting famous artists and influencers. 

Main Risks Of Overlooking Event Project Management

Failing to prioritize or inadequately manage event project management can result in detrimental consequences. These main risks are associated with overlooking or poorly executing such projects. 

Here are some of them: 

Unnecessary Stress and Tensions 

Without the guiding framework of event project management, organizers and team members will experience unnecessary stress and tension. The lack of a structured plan for solving an existing challenge leads to chaos, miscommunication, and increased pressure on everyone involved.

Overspending

Without a well-structured event project management, financial resources can be misallocated or wasted. Overspending is a common consequence, as costs spiral out of control when there is no efficient management and event budget tracking.

Delays and Event Postponing

Events may face delays or even postponement due to inadequate project management, and this can have significant consequences for both organizers and participants. When there isn’t a well-defined plan and timeline in place, essential tasks that are crucial for the success of an event can easily fall behind schedule.

Attendee and Customer Disappointments 

When events are not managed properly, the attendee or guest experience can suffer. This leads to a disappointing event experience, resulting in negative feedback, reduced attendance in future events, and a damaged reputation for the organizing company.

Overall Event Failure and Cancellation

The ultimate risk of overlooking or poorly executing event project management is the potential for event failure and, in some cases, event cancellation. This not only results in significant financial losses but also undermines the trust and confidence of stakeholders, making it challenging to organize future events.

These risks underscore the critical role that event project management plays in ensuring the success of events. To mitigate these risks and achieve successful events , careful planning, coordination, and execution are essential. 

Event project management is not merely a luxury but a necessity to deliver memorable and seamless event experiences while safeguarding the reputation and financial stability of the organizing brand or company. 

Stages of Event Management Project

To successfully execute event project management, it’s essential to follow a structured approach. This chapter outlines the stages involved in initiating and deploying successful event project management. 

Stage 1. Problem Identification

In the initial phase of your event project management, it’s essential to understand the problem that your project aims to address. The problem identification stage sets the foundation for the entire project and ensures that your efforts are strategically aligned. 

Begin by clearly defining the problem you are trying to solve. In this context, you may need to launch a new consumer engagement experience strategy that connects customers with your brand. 

Alternatively, your challenge could be dissatisfaction with existing event management software providers. For example, they may fall short in accommodating specific requirements, such as extensive API integration for hosting events .

Note: For the sake of this article, we’ll focus on the specific challenge of selecting a new event management software provider. This challenge may emerge when your current event management platform fails to meet your organization’s evolving needs or isn’t capable of offering the necessary functionality for your events. 

Stage 2. Ideation

Once you’ve identified the problem your event project management addresses, the next phase involves ideation. During this stage, your team engages in creative brainstorming and evaluates potential solutions to tackle the identified challenge effectively. 

It’s crucial to consider a wide range of options, including both in-house and third-party solutions. Encourage open and creative thinking to generate a variety of ideas. These solutions could encompass changes in strategy, technology, or processes. 

Stage 3. Solution Planning

Once you’ve conducted ideation and determined possible solutions for addressing the identified problem, the next crucial phase is solution planning. During this stage, you will develop a comprehensive plan for implementing the chosen solution.

• Identify the best solution

In selecting a new event management software, this step involves pinpointing a specific solution, whether creating in-house tools, opting for a specialized platform such as online registration and ticketing , or researching all-in-one event management software . 

Based on your evaluations, you will decide clearly about the solution that aligns most closely with your needs and objectives. For the sake of this article, we will assume your team chose an all-in-one event planning platform. 

• Building the project team

As you move forward with the implementation, you need to assemble a project team that will drive the process. You should define roles and responsibilities within your team. Typical roles may include a project manager, event director, UX/UI designer, IT director, and the financial team, each with specific responsibilities.

• Determining the project’s Key Success Indicators (KPIs)

To ensure the project’s success, you must establish key performance indicators (KPIs) that will be tracked throughout the implementation. 

For example, KPIs may include:

• Monitoring the schedule’s main milestones.
• Tracking budget spending.
• Counting the number of users onboarded onto the new event management software.
• Recording the number of customer support tickets raised.
• Setting a timeline and phases

A clear timeline is essential for the project’s success. This involves setting specific deadlines for selecting the provider, negotiation, contract finalization, onboarding, and implementation in consecutive and growing phases. Both the timeline and the phases ensure that the project progresses in an organized and efficient manner.

• Creating specifications for the solution

Develop clear and detailed specifications for the solution you’ve chosen. This could include aspects such as vendor location, size, and other characteristics that are critical to your organization’s needs.

For example, specify aspects like the vendor’s location, the size of their customer base, or their experience with similar clients. These specifications ensure that the selected provider aligns closely with your requirements.

• Establishing the budget and timeline for the project

To ensure that the project remains financially viable, establish a budget and timeline for the entire process. For instance, clarify the pricing model for the event management software and allocate a budget for its implementation. 

Define the timeframes for each project phase, such as the selection phase, negotiation and contract finalization, onboarding, and full implementation.

For example, you might set the budget for the event management software and break down the timeline as follows: 

• Selection: 2 months
• Negotiation and contracts: 1 month
• Onboarding: 1 month
• Implementation: 6 months

This budget and timeline provide a structured framework for executing the solution effectively.

Stage 4. Solution Implementation 

Now that the plan is in place, it’s time to put it into action. The solution implementation happens in several incremental phases. Thi is where you bring your carefully crafted plan to life. Here’s how you can do it: 

• Project Kickoff

The project kickoff is a critical step in ensuring everyone involved is on the same page and understands their roles and responsibilities.

• Allocate necessary resources: Adequate resources are essential for successful implementation.
• Provide access to required tools and resources: Verify that the project team has access to the necessary tools and resources needed to carry out their tasks effectively.
• Host a kickoff meeting: Organize a kickoff meeting to mark the start of the project officially. During this meeting, outline the project’s objectives, timeline, roles, and responsibilities. This meeting serves as an opportunity to align all team members and set expectations for the project.
• Solution Development

With the project officially underway, the solution development phase is where you collaborate with the chosen vendor to build and customize the selected solution based on the project specifications.

• Actively work with the vendor: Engage closely to develop and customize the chosen solution. Continuously communicate your project specifications and requirements to ensure the solution aligns with your goals.
• Run regular progress reviews: Regularly review the progress made in solution development. This step ensures that the project remains on track and aligned with the established project goals.
• Quality Assurance (QA)

Quality assurance is a crucial step to guarantee that the developed solution meets your needs and functions without any issues.

• Conduct thorough testing: Test the developed solution to identify and rectify any issues or bugs. Testing should encompass all aspects of the solution, from functionality to security and usability.
• Ensure compliance with project requirements: Verify that the solution aligns with the requirements and maintains the established quality standards. It should meet all the specified criteria and expectations.
• Documentation

Documentation is key for maintaining a record of the new solution and ensuring everyone knows how to use it effectively.

• Create and maintain documentation: Generate comprehensive documentation for the new solution, including user guides, manuals, and best practices. These documents serve as valuable resources for the project team and end-users.
• Archive project-related documents: It’s important to archive project-related documents and communications for future reference. This historical record can provide insights and context for future projects or troubleshooting.

Once the solution is fully developed and tested, the onboarding phase focuses on training the project team and end-users on how to use the solution effectively.

• Train the project team and end users: Train the project team and the initial pool of end-users to ensure they are well-versed in using the new solution effectively.
• Maximizing user comfort: The goal is to ensure everyone is comfortable with the system and can maximize its potential. Effective training ensures a smooth transition and optimal utilization of the solution.

By effectively managing project kickoff, solution development, quality assurance, documentation, and onboarding, you ensure a seamless transition and the best possible start for your new solution, in this case, event management software.

Stage 5. Go Live

The go-live phase is a significant milestone in the project, where the new event management software is officially deployed for regular use. This phase is crucial for ensuring a successful transition and ongoing operations, and it’s important not to undervalue its importance. Here are the steps you should consider: 

• Official deployment: This is the moment when the new solution is officially rolled out for regular use. A dedicated team is often responsible for this deployment to ensure it proceeds smoothly.
• Phased deployment: To minimize potential disruptions, it is often advisable to deploy the solution in phases. Start with a smaller group of users or a limited scope before gradually expanding to a wider audience. This phased approach allows for a more controlled implementation and can help identify and address issues before they affect the entire user base.
• Investing in user support: As the new solution goes live, it’s essential to invest in user support heavily. This may involve collaboration with the event management software provider to provide comprehensive support to end-users. User support is critical for addressing any immediate questions, concerns, or issues users may encounter during the transition.
• Monitoring and issue resolution: Continuously monitor the performance of the new solution after deployment. Be prepared to address any immediate issues or questions that arise. Prompt issue resolution and effective support during this phase are essential to maintain user confidence and ensure a smooth transition to the new solution.

The go-live phase is a critical point in the project where the real-world use of the solution begins. It’s important to approach this phase with thorough planning, strong support, and the flexibility to address any unexpected challenges.

Stage 6. Post-Implementation Review

After the new solution has been in use for a period of time, it’s essential to conduct a post-implementation review to assess its success and gather valuable insights for future improvements. 

Here’s how you can do it: 

• Conducting a review meeting: Organize a review meeting where relevant stakeholders can assess the success of the solution’s implementation. This meeting provides an opportunity to evaluate whether the solution meets its intended goals and objectives.
• Gathering feedback and lessons learned: During the review, gather feedback from end-users, project team members, and other relevant parties. This feedback should encompass both positive experiences and areas that may need improvement. Additionally, collect and document the lessons learned from the implementation process.

To keep improving your solutions, do a thorough review after each implementation. This will help you find new ways to succeed.

Stage 7. Scaling to the Whole Company, Affiliates, and Partners

Once the new solution has proven its success and stability, consider scaling its usage to a broader audience, such as the entire company, multiple brands, affiliates, or partners. 

• Planning for scaling: Develop a plan for scaling up the solution’s use. This plan should include a roadmap for extending the solution’s reach to various groups or entities within the organization.
• Implementation for a wider audience: Extend the solution to the broader audience according to the established plan. This may involve adapting the solution to the specific needs and requirements of each group or brand, ensuring a smooth transition for all stakeholders.
• Continuous monitoring and improvement: As you scale the solution, continue to monitor its performance and gather feedback. Be open to making necessary adjustments and improvements based on the unique requirements of different user groups. This iterative approach ensures that the solution remains effective and evolves to meet changing needs.

Scaling the solution to the whole company, multiple brands, affiliates, and partners is an exciting phase that signifies the successful adoption of the new solution. 

It also underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring, adaptability, and continuous improvement to ensure the solution delivers value to a wider audience.

Case Study: Pernod Ricard

Pernod Ricard, the world’s second-largest wine and spirit Group, offers an excellent example of how effective event project management can be. 

The Group’s event team faced the challenge of swiftly developing a robust B2B event management platform to drive brand visibility and revenue. Their goal was clear – ensure robustness and scalability to support their global presence spanning 240 brands.

In their pursuit of excellence, Pernod Ricard initiated event project management for identifying a reliable event management software provider. As a result, the Pernod Ricard team recognized Eventtia as the best event management software in the industry. 

Eventtia’s event management platform provided the foundation for success, offering key solutions to overcome the challenges:

• Robust and Scalable Solution: Eventtia’s platform not only met the stringent timelines but also ensured high levels of robustness and scalability. This event project management software supported Pernod Ricard’s ambitious deployment plan.
• Seamless User Experience and Brand Identity: Eventtia’s capabilities seamlessly integrate into Pernod Ricard’s vision of delivering a cross-channel user experience.

As a result, Pernod Ricard’s IT team was able to integrate, test, and deploy the event activity on join-SIP.com in just a few days through Eventtia’s API documentation and with very little support from Eventtia’s technical team.

The Group harnessed Eventtia’s event management platform and API services to create event processes for various stakeholders:

• Guests and Attendees: Guests and attendees effortlessly discovered and registered for events. The software facilitated communication with automated, branded emails and QR codes, while post-event satisfaction surveys captured vital feedback.
• Event Organizers: Eventtia’s web portal empowered event organizers with the tools needed for event project management. They could efficiently create and manage events, track attendee registrations, and ensure guest attendance through a mobile check-in app. The integrated satisfaction surveys gathered post-event insights.
• Administrators: Event project management was made more efficient with Eventtia’s back-office platform. Administrators could manage users and oversee platform activity with ease.

The exceptional speed and efficiency with which Pernod Ricard’s event project management team integrated, tested, and deployed the event activity on Join-SIP.com was a testament to Eventtia’s capabilities.

FEU Tech’s College of Computer Studies hosts an annual event known as Technology Innovation on Capstone Project (TICaP), which exhibits the different capstone projects of each specialization. This event allows the students to view the different projects of the FEU Tech PBL students and recognizes the group with the best capstone project and other special awards. However, problems were encountered while managing the event resulting in disorganized planning and management. The proponents developed an event management system named TICaP HUB to solve the different problems experienced by the organizers in planning and managing the event. The team conducted a system evaluation and survey of the PBL and non-PBL students, including FEU Tech faculties. Using the Likert scale for the system evaluation, the Web application has an overall weighted mean of 4.72 and 4.71 for the mobile application. This outcome can be interpreted that the users strongly agreed with the FURPS evaluation of the system. With the results acquired from the respondents, the proponents conclude that using the TICaP HUB can significantly help the users efficiently manage the TICaP event and lessen the time consumed in planning and organizing for the said event.

• Description

What is an Event Management System?

An event management system allows users to access and manage all aspects of an event in one place, including registration, planning, reporting, and more.

An event management system (or event management software) is a digital tool that streamlines the planning, organization, and execution of events. It encompasses a range of features such as event registration, ticketing, venue selection, scheduling, attendee engagement, and post-event analysis. By using event management software, event organizers can simplify their tasks and more efficiently manage logistics, communicate with participants, and analyze data to enhance future events. Not to mention, event management software offers a centralized platform for coordination, reducing manual efforts and increasing precision, ultimately enhancing the overall success and efficiency of events. Accruent EMS is event management software that provides you all of these key features to help ensure your next event goes off without a hitch.

Using an Event Management System for Seamless Campus Events

A truly comprehensive event management system will allow users and organizers to access and manage all aspects of an event, including registration, marketing, engagement, integrations, physical planning and preparation, reporting and analytics, and more.  

On college and university campuses , events are happening all the time, whether student- or faculty-focused, and often through in-house or third parties and vendors. When these events take place, it is critical to use an event management system that offers full control and planning capabilities to ensure activities happen on time, in accommodating spaces and keeping in mind the safety of every attending. Comprehensive event planning software will allow campus event planners to book large-scale events, communicate with service providers, and maintain a single source of record for repeatable, measurable events.

Event planners on university campuses must also consider student and faculty safety, especially now as large gathers have become more complicated in the wake of COVID-19. An event management system provides connection to campus police and other security factors to keep attendees safe and control crowds. An event management system can also help formalize sanitation procedures, ensure socially distant spacing, and more.

Why Do You Need Event Management Software?

An Event Management System provides campus event planners a flexible, fully integrated solution to simplify the event management process and keep your customers, faculty and students happy, while maintaining important reports and data for making real estate and future planning decisions.  

An event management system allows you to:  

• Minimize administration efforts
• Eliminate missed communications
• Digitize how your events are run
• Comply with COVID-19 safety guidelines
• Maximize your campus flexibility
• Save time planning future events
• Access detailed reports & analytics

Minimize Administration Efforts

An Event Management System minimizes the steps needed to manage your events, creating a much more efficient administrative process. This way, event planners can focus more on the details, without getting lost in administrative tasks. For example, the University of Vermont used EMS Event Planner Software to reduce phone calls in their event services office by more than 50, allowing their staff to spend more time maximizing their space and event planning on campus.

Eliminate Missed Communications  

Poor communication is the leading cause of event failures or mishaps. An event management system facilitates instant communication between planners and providers and makes it easier to share timely information to students, faculty, catering, operations, and more. Automated notifications and mobile capabilities help keep everyone informed of changes and plans, eliminating event disasters due to miscommunications.  

Digitize How Your Events are Run

The world continues to move toward a digital-first mindset. By bringing your campus into the digital age with event planning software that’s mobile and agile, you ensure that the platform scales with you and provides multiple digital, accessible touchpoints for users. In a comprehensive event management system, you can digitize contracts, registrations, request forms, reports and more.

Comply with COVID-19 Safety Guidelines

Student safety  is critical to successful events during the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether you need to enforce mask guidelines, maintain social distancing, schedule sanitization needs, or any other safety measures, event planner software can bring all these tasks into one comprehensive place.

Maximize Your Campus Flexibility

An event management system provides hardware and software integrations for campuses, including integrations with HVAC, catering systems, Student Information Systems (SIS), scheduling tools like Microsoft Outlook, facility management services, and more. These integrations allow event planners to streamline event in virtual, hybrid, and in-person contexts.  

Save Time Planning Future Events

Effective event manager software should allow users to build repeatable processes and procedures to help maintain event success. With an effective event scheduling software, you can create repeatable steps, save forms, clone reservations and details like A/V, save user preferences, and more. This helps eliminate time-consuming manual processes for future events.  

Access Detailed Reports & Analytics

Event manager software should help users understand the successes and failures of events to improve processes and keep customers (students, faculty, vendors, attendees) happy. Detailed reporting on every event you run helps you continuously optimize your events and schedules, and you can make better space management decisions in the moment using real-time event data.  

For example, the University of South Albama uses EMS event planner software to track all their events. They were able to avoid serious mishaps and double bookings by catching events that were "scheduled" to happen but were never entered in their EMS system, all through real-time observations and reporting. Analytics help event planners better understand how their spaces across campus are being used.  

What Features Should Event Planner Software Have?

In order to provide the best assistance to campus event planners, comprehensive event planning software must offer:

• Customized processes & scheduling
• Effortless event updates & tracking
• Resources & documentation
• Mobile on-the-go access
• Hardware & software integrations
• Data security & management
• Custom reporting & dashboards

Customized Processes & Scheduling

Custom processes in your event management system allow for designing and publishing online request forms, requiring approvals or additional information, and custom fields for different events to make sure you get all the information you need.  

Effortless Event Updates & Tracking

Event manager software should possess a simple interface to make event updates and tracking easy to maintain. Users should be able to make changes to events, including time, date, status and services needed, without having to cancel and redo an entire reservation in the system.

Enrollment System Introduction

Computer technology has opened a new chapter in technical advancements, allowing computers to become a part of daily life. Computers make everyone’s lives easier, allowing them to live better lives. At work, school, and at home, computers are ubiquitous. Teaching and learning, data processing, record keeping, and the educational system’s enrollment system have all benefited from technology.

Enrollment systems are used to keep track of a student’s data. A well-built one will lighten the load on those who are generally responsible for all of the work. The enrollment mechanism comes in handy when the school has to get crucial information from a student. The school can track the standings of pupils using the enrolling system. A school’s manual enrollment approach might result in erroneous student performance evaluations, lost student data, inaccurate reporting, and sluggish enrollment processing. Students will be perplexed as to what they should do and how they should go about enrolling. It is incredibly important in the school because it simplifies the enrollment process.

In order to enroll students, the School follows the traditional method. A total of 3,000 students are enrolled in four (4) year levels. The school’s population grows every year, therefore the manual enrollment and student record-keeping system takes up too much time for the teachers or enrolling officer.

The researchers’ goal in this study is to create a fast, accurate, and dependable computer-based enrollment system for the School’s administration, faculty, and staff that will speed up the enrollment process, facilitate and secure students’ records, reduce the enrolling officer’s effort in updating students’ information, provide a reliable record-keeping facility, and provide accurate enrolling information.

Login/logout services, an administrative module, a registrar module, a cashier module, database maintenance, and a help assistant are all included in the proposed system.

Project Context

The school’s current system, such as the enrolling system and record keeping, is done manually. The manual system has been in place from the beginning of the school’s functioning.

During the enrolling period, students will visit the admissions office and get any necessary enrollment requirements. The evaluator will then assess the students’ grades in order to determine which subjects they should take in the current school year and their existing academic standing. The assessor will generate a list of subjects that the students are needed to take. Students will pay their PTA fee and other costs to the cashier after receiving the list. The cashier will provide the students receipts to prove that they had previously paid. The person in charge will prepare a summary of student enrollment at the end of the enrollment period.

Because the enrolling officer must search and locate the student’s records in the filing cabinet, the manual updating of the student’s records slows down the admission process. Delays in student evaluations due to the enrolling officer’s need to review past grades and the fact that some of the student’s records are misplaced. Due to disorganized student data, tallying subjects takes time as well.

As a result of these factors, the researchers chose to design and construct a computerized enrollment system that is quick, accurate, dependable, and simple to use. The planned enrollment mechanism is a positive move in the right direction for the institution. By offering quick and easy access to information, this might be a huge benefit to those who are juggling a lot of chores throughout the enrollment time.

Purpose and Description

This capstone project’s major goal is to create a computer-based enrollment system that is quick, accurate, dependable, and simple to use. The researchers will design and construct a capstone project titled “Computerized Enrollment System” for the School’s administration, instructors, staff, and students.

The proposed project will use computer-based software to replace the school’s present manual enrollment system, which will allow authorized users to speed up the enrolling process, provide updated, secure, and easy-to-access student records, and provide accurate reports.

Login/logout services, administrator’s module, registrar’s module, enrollment/cashier module, database maintenance, and help assistant will be among the system’s features.

The proposed system’s Log-in/Log-out Services feature will require allowed users to input their user ID and password in order to access their user account in the administrator’s module, registrar’s module, and enrollment/cashier module.

The school administrator can control sections, year levels, school years (set active school years – used in current enrollment), subjects, faculty, and staff in the Administrator’s Module.

The Registrar’s Module allows the personnel of the registrar’s office to manage student credentials, view a list of enrolled students, view student records, and enter grades.

The Enrollment/Cashier Module gives the cashier access to enrollment data, enrolled student complete details, payment records, fee management, and the student ledger.

Database maintenance is one of the system’s functions that allows administrators to update students’ records, manage data and transaction log files, and backup the system.

The Help Assistant is a program that provides instructions on how to utilize the system.

The following outputs are possible from the proposed project: a user’s log report, a list of enrolled students, enrollment summary reports, payments and collectibles, and a student ledger.

Objective of the Study

The study’s major objective is to create a computerized enrollment system for the school that will allow for quick, accurate, and simple enrolling and record keeping.

The following are the researchers’ precise goals in conducting this study:

• To make updating a student’s record as easy as possible for the teacher-in-charge or the enrolling officer.
• To expedite the enrollment process at all levels of the school year.
• To create a database for student files that would allow enrolling officers to quickly search, locate, and update information.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

This capstone project will focus only on the school’s computerized enrollment system and record keeping. The researchers will concentrate on collecting relevant data, such as student information, calculating appropriate payments, handling student grades, making reports, and generating student credentials.

The proposed system’s database management component will focus on adding and changing student records, grades, maintaining and managing user table entries and user logs, and monitoring changes made by allowed users in the system.

The proposed project will be built on a client-server architecture and will be connected over a local area network (LAN). This is not available over the Internet, and only the administrator with access to the Administrator’s Module has complete access to all of the system’s functions.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE/SYSTEM

This chapter includes a review of related literature and studies, as well as the technical backdrop on which the project’s technicality, details of the technologies to be used, and the project’s relevance will be discussed.

REVIEW OF RELATED BOOKS AND SYSTEMS

Computerized Enrollment System

According to Studymode.com (2012), electronic enrollment systems are increasingly replacing what we used to call “paperless” transactions and making any transaction easier and faster. It also tends to reduce the amount of manpower and human effort required to conduct any enrollment transaction. ( http://www.studymode.com/essays/Computerized-Enrollment-Thesis-927388.html )

Record Keeping

Records, according to Chifwepa (2009), have two purposes. Not only do they present a clear image of what is available and what is necessary for a school, but they also justify certain needs. They also help to extend the memory of individuals and/or organizations, allowing them to carry on their traditions and successes to future generations. Because of its critical role in the effective creation and gathering of information, record keeping is critical to the overall information cycle of an educational institution. Because schools create some of the most important data, the need of establishing a rigorous record-keeping culture at that level cannot be overstated. (http://www.adeanet..org/adeaPortal)

Importance of Record Keeping

Adebowale and Osuji (2008) researched the record-keeping methods of elementary school teachers in a number of local government regions in Nigeria’s Ondo state. Data was obtained using a questionnaire titled “Questionnaire on Record-Keeping Practices of Primary School Teachers,” and descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the results. The findings revealed that, while the teachers were aware with some record-keeping principles, they were not proficient in the majority of operational procedures and did not display knowledge of how to use record-keeping to enhance teaching and learning activities. There was no equipment available that could be utilized to keep records safe. The researchers recommend that instructors receive frequent in-service training in record keeping and retrieval, recognizing the relevance of record keeping in the successful implementation of the country’s Universal Basic Education program. Teacher preparation programs should also incorporate the development of record-keeping abilities. ( https://www4.nau.edu/cee/jep/journals.aspx?id=183)

Student Information System

The above-mentioned concepts on computerization of enrollment systems and record keeping are relevant to the current project because they serve as a foundation for the development of an enrollment system for the School that will reduce the time and effort expended by staff in updating student records and maintaining records. The concepts also allude to aspects of the current study, such as the users’ module and database maintenance, which will be implemented into the proposed system by the developers.

The researchers based their formulation of the general objectives and important factors to consider in designing the features that should be included in the development of the proposed enrollment system on the concept of record keeping, its importance, and its fundamental role in the process of efficient information production and collection.

The associated studies on records and information management, as well as record keeping techniques, provide details and evidence to help researchers build and construct a successful enrollment and record keeping tool.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

The School’s current enrolling system is done manually. The school lacks technology that is important and required for a quick and easy enrollment procedure, record keeping, and report generating.

The school will need to purchase computer units, a machine to print results, and set up Local Area Network access in order to implement the suggested system.

Using the computerized enrollment system and utilizing technology in data processing, record keeping, and the enrolling system will offer the school with an efficient means of processing information and maintaining records.

The suggested system will be placed on a primary server and may include a backup server in the event that the primary server fails. The operating system for the server will be Microsoft Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, which will run programs such as networking and databases. To protect the main server and other PCs from viruses, a software firewall must be installed.

The Modified Waterfall Model will be used by the researchers in the creation of the new software.

CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY

The researchers’ approach and technique for performing the study, the system development procedure, and the results and discussion are all covered in this chapter.

The researchers will undertake this capstone project using a variety of data collection approaches as well as a variety of analytical tools to aid and justify the study’s conduct. Researchers will be able to discover the challenges that the school’s administration and personnel face in the current system using data collection approaches. Interviewing, observation, and brainstorming are examples of analytical tools. The information gathered will be examined and used as a foundation for the system’s design and development.

An interview is a conversation between two people (the interviewer and the interviewee) in which the interviewer asks the interviewee questions in order to gain information. Observation is either a living being’s action, such as a human’s, in which they receive knowledge of the outside world through their senses or a scientific instrument’s recording of data. Any data collected during this action may alternatively be referred to as “data.” An observation can also refer to how or when you look at something. Brainstorming is a technique for gathering as many ideas from a group of people as feasible. Typically used to identify potential answers to problems, clarify details of opportunities, and find remedies to existing system difficulties.

The researchers will develop the system using the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method. As indicated in Figure 1, the SDLC approach is used in the study and design of the system.

The researchers will employ the Modified Waterfall Model in constructing the Computerized Enrollment System, which is divided into numerous phases, as shown in Figure 1. The following are some of them:

Requirement analysis is a term that refers to the process of determining what The researchers will investigate how the system operates, as well as the user’s preferences, needs, and requirements, before recommending a remedy. To determine system requirements, the researchers will interview the school administrator, registrar, and finance department staff. The researchers will assess the data and conduct research on related literature and studies after the interview. It also include creating estimates for the work to be done, generating the necessary commitments, defining the work plan, and finalizing the project plan.

Design of systems and software. The system will be designed in this phase depending on the system’s requirements. The researchers will create the database model structure, connect the database tables, create data forms, and prepare the project presentation. A review of the system’s design and functionality will be carried out. The programmer will evaluate and change the design of the system’s tables and forms, as well as test the system’s functionality. The data flow in the system will be represented using a Data Flow Diagram (DFD). The system’s data model will be an entity relationship diagram (ERD). The programmer will write the source code for the system that will be built.

Testing. This phase entails reviewing a system or application in order to determine whether it fits all of the client’s requirements and to identify any faults. To assess if it will work according to the specification, requirements such as software functions and features were checked. This step verifies that the created system is complete and functional, assesses whether the software performs all functions after integration with the existing operating environment, and assesses the software’s overall dependability and quality.

Implementation. The researchers will do a dry-run of the system and train the system’s intended users during this phase. Users of the system will examine if the system’s recommended features and suggestions are implemented.

Maintenance and operation. T his phase ensures that the information system is completely functioning and performing at its best until it reaches the end of its useful life. Management of changes to the system to support end users, monitoring of system performance, performance of needed security actions such as backups, and continuance of end user assistance are all part of the Operations and Maintenance Phase.

This phase will also offer users with the documentation and training they need to efficiently use the system. Although data conversion will only take place once, user documentation will be required. The product will be deployed on the hardware that will be utilized in the production environment (on live systems). Deployment necessitates meticulous planning. Initial data will be loaded and user training will take place once the product has been deployed.

Requirements Analysis and Documentation

The suggested solution is called “Computerized Enrolling,” and it is a computer program that allows authorized users to automate the school’s enrollment system and record-keeping. Users will be able to discover and retrieve necessary student information and credentials, as well as compile an enrollment summary report, using the program.

The following aims and objectives must be met in order for the software design and development to be completed:

• To create a database for student files that would allow enrollment officers to readily update information.
• Enrollment and record-keeping software that is completely available over the school’s Local Area Network (LAN).
• To produce reports that are quick, dependable, and accurate.

An attendance management system is a software application that is designed to keep track of employee attendance, working hours, and other related information. It is commonly used by businesses and organizations to monitor the attendance of their employees, whether they are working in the office or remotely.

The system generally consists of a central database, which stores all the information related to employee attendance, including the time of arrival, departure, and breaks taken. The system can also generate reports, such as attendance records, leave records, and overtime records. Additionally, the system may include features such as leave management, shift scheduling, and automated notifications.

Attendance management systems can help organizations to streamline their HR processes, reduce administrative work, and increase accuracy in tracking employee attendance. It can also help in identifying patterns of absenteeism or tardiness, which can help managers to take corrective actions to improve employee productivity and attendance.

The primary objective of developing an attendance management system is to automate and streamline the process of monitoring and tracking attendance. The system should be designed to accurately capture attendance data, generate reports, and facilitate decision-making for administrators, educators, and parents.

The manual method of tracking attendance is prone to errors, time-consuming, and can be easily manipulated. The traditional method of taking attendance on a register or manually entering data into spreadsheets can lead to inaccuracies in tracking attendance, which can be a significant problem for educational institutions. These errors can lead to discrepancies in the number of days attended by a student, which can affect grades and lead to legal issues in some cases.

Automating the attendance management system using technology can significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of tracking attendance. It can save time for administrators and educators by eliminating the need for manual data entry and making the attendance data available in real-time. It also allows for easier identification of patterns in attendance and absenteeism, enabling institutions to take appropriate actions to improve student attendance and academic performance. An automated attendance management system can help educational institutions operate more efficiently, save time and resources, and ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

There are several hardware and technologies that can be used to enhance an attendance management system. Some of these include:

• Biometric devices: These devices use unique physical characteristics, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, to verify the identity of an individual and record their attendance.
• RFID cards: RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) cards are used to track attendance by scanning the card when an individual enters or exits a building or room.
• Barcode scanners: Similar to RFID cards, barcode scanners can be used to track attendance by scanning a barcode on an ID card or badge.
• GPS tracking: This technology can be used to track the location of employees or students and verify their attendance based on their proximity to a specific location.
• Mobile applications: Mobile apps can be used to allow employees or students to record their attendance using their smartphones or tablets.
• QR Code Scanners: These can be used to scan QR codes on ID cards or badges to quickly and accurately record attendance.
• Face Recognition Technology: This technology can be used to automatically identify and record attendance by analyzing facial features of individuals.

These technologies can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of an attendance management system, as well as provide real-time data for analysis and reporting. By automating the attendance tracking process, organizations can save time and resources, reduce errors and inaccuracies, and improve overall productivity.
