What do you think is/are the reasons why the university decided to tapped in-house resources, was it a good decision? ( 1000 words )
It was a big issue when the two of our professor in the Institute of Computing tapped by the university to develop the University of Southeastern Philippines Enrollment System. I wonder why they are tapped? Because there is an existing enrollment system. I don’t think the primary reason why they tapped in house resources to develop an enrollment system.
In housing, outsourcing this is the primary issue in the university. The enrollment system we used in last years was developed by a third party company or what we also called outsourcing company. As we all know outsourcing company is expensive and every month the university spend a lot of money. Many of us wonder why we the university outsource for the last years? Maybe it’s because the administration of the university have no faith in the in house resources, and maybe there are persons recommended to outsource rather than in sourcing. For me the following are the reasons why the university decided to tapped in-house resources because:
Less expense. This is one of the primary reasons why the university decided to tap in-house resources. As we all know the university had an enrollment system which was develop by an outsourcing company. And I heard that almost 70, 000 pesos a month was paid just to maintain the enrollment system. In that case I want to be a programmer hehehe. But primarily the issue that by using outsourcing the classroom of the university and the laboratory are not equip with resources because of the wrong investment of the university in outsourcing which we all know its expensive. So the university taps the in house resources like our two professors in the institute of computing. By using the two in house resources the university needs not to pay a lot of expense in creating the USEP enrollment system. And it is always easy for the administration to monitor what was the progress of the enrollment system. In case of changes in the flow of the university enrollment system it will easy for the university to modify. Since it is only walking distance to the developer of the enrollment system. And the developers are accessible
Maintenance is easy. In developing a system or an enrollment system it primary requires maintenance since many bugs and irregularities may occur during the running of the program. Bugs are everywhere it can destroy or make the system malfunction. That the primary reason why we need a maintenance of the system. Since here in the university the enrollment system is useful especially in enrollment season. If a certain bugs or malfunctioning of the enrollment system. It is easy for the user to call the developers of the system. And the user can say what they want to the system and can easily say the problem in the system since the developers are employees of the university. It is the developer will maintain the enroll system which is easy for them since they are the developer of the program.
Future purposes. In the near future specifications may change, a new course, new college will evolved new expenses can be added, new registrar , new personnel and many changes may occur in the near future. It is easy for the university to make changes in the enrollment system since the developers are in house or employee of the university.
The university creates a good decision in tapping the in house resources two instructor of the university. Because by in housing the talent of our professor will be shared through the development of the enrollment system of the university. It was last year when our instructor was tapped it was maam Tammy and sir Michael they are good in programming and database. Sir Michael is my instructor in database 1 – 3 and software engineering 1 & 2. Maam Tammy was supposed to be our System Analysis and Design 1. Sir Michael is good in database since he was our instructor since in first years of our stay in the university. I guess they make the enrollment system wonderful. For me I don’t see what are the difference between the past enrollment system and the present enrollment system. But the person who are primary see the difference between the system are the user like the cashier, secretary, encoder, adviser, dean and the administration. Because they are the primary users of the system. They can see the difference since they are using the old enrollment system for the past years. The primary goal of the university why they tapped in house resources is to make the transaction of the university faster and accurately.
But if I were the university administration I want to the university to outsource not because I don’t have faith in the in house resources but because in outsourcing company they have a development team composed of system analyst, programmers and testers. The outsource company can provide the best programmer and satisfaction to the customers. The university can choose what will be the platform of the program the university can decide java, javascript, c, c++, joomla, mysql, mssql, css, htm and many more programming language and databases. If the outsourcing company doesn’t satisfy your requirement then you can navigate to other outsourcing company. The university can decide when will be the deadline of the program or system. The outsourcing company is flexible in all the requirement of the client. As I know that outsourcing companies primary goal is to satisfy the customer.
But for now.. in this moment we should work hard in order to finish our projects in SAD 2 and maybe by that our project the university will tapped us to create a web portal in the university. Or what ever program they will give to us with a big price.. not just big price but a big opportunity to start. In the field of information technology and computer science. Let God guide us and our professor also will guide and support us.
