b. Quality Plan To ensure the quality of the data and statistics generated and released by the MISD, the following internal measures are used i. Encoders verify of completeness of information client information while

encoding the data. ii. The Information Systems Analyst checks encoded data accuracy through

SQL system to ensure 98% accuracy is met.

c. Customer Satisfaction Survey To ensure that clients’ expectations are achieved and to recommend improvements, the MISD measures the efficiency and effectivity of the service delivered under the area of Data Banking and Statistics by implementing the feedback method i. Internal clients uses the Project Request and Feedback for Systems

Development and Other MISD Services. See Annex B. Project Request and Feedback for Systems Development and Other MISD Services (CFO-MIS-PR-PRF-001).

The MISD Head collects, tabulates and retrieves all feedback forms at the end of each month. The rating average is computed and compared against the previous month. The MISD Head processes and analyzes the rating results and prepares a recommendation whenever necessary. The report is submitted to the Top Management every first week of the month.

B. Information Systems and Web Development

MISD is responsible for the design, development and maintenance of the CFO information systems (i.e. Online Reservation and Registration for PDOS, Online Reservation and Registration for Guidance Counseling, including creation of websites and other auxiliary web pages i.e. BaLinkBayan, 1343 Actionline, Itanong Mo kay ATO, SIS etc.) MISD coordinates CFO Information system and websites upgrades/ development when needed in order to ensure that CFO clients are provided with efficient services and are responsive to their changing needs. The MISD establish, implement and maintain a design and development process on its Information Systems and Web Development: 1. Planning It identifies whether or not there is the need for a new system or website to achieve a public service strategic objectives. This is a preliminary plan or a feasibility study for the CFO initiative to acquire the resources to build on an infrastructure to modify or improve a service. The CFO might be trying to meet or exceed expectations for their employees, clientele and stakeholders too. The

purpose of this step is to find out the scope of the problem and determine solutions. Resources, costs, time, benefits and other items should be considered at this stage. 2. Systems Analysis and Requirements The CFO will work on the source of the problem or the need for a change. In the event of a problem, possible solutions are submitted and analyzed to identify the best fit for the ultimate purpose of the project. This is where teams consider the functional requirements of the project or solution. It is also where system analysis takes place on analyzing the needs of the end users to ensure the new system can meet their expectations. Systems analysis is vital in determining what the CFO needs are, as well as how they can be met, who will be responsible for individual pieces of the project, and what sort of timeline should be expected. 3. Systems Design This will describe, in detail, the necessary specifications, features and operations that will satisfy the functional requirements of the proposed system or website which will be in place. For end users to discuss and determine their specific public service information needs for the proposed system. It is during this phase that they will consider the essential components (hardware and/or software) structure (networking capabilities), processing and procedures for the system to accomplish its objectives. 4. Development This is where the real work begins, in particular, when a programmer, network engineer and/or database developer are brought on to do the major work on the project. This work includes using a flow chart to ensure that the process of the system is properly organized. The development phase marks the end of the initial section of the process. Additionally, this phase signifies the start of production. The development stage is also characterized by instillation and change. Focusing on training can be a huge benefit during this phase. 5. Integration and Testing Involves systems integration and system testing of programs and procedures to determine if the proposed design meets the initial set of goals and its purpose. Testing may be repeated, specifically to check for errors, bugs and interoperability. This testing will be performed until the end user finds it acceptable. Another part of this phase is verification and validation, both of which will help ensure the program’s successful completion. 6. Implementation When the majority of the code for the program is written. Additionally, it involves the actual installation of the newly-developed system or website. This will put the project into production by moving the data and components from the old system

and placing them in the new system. While this can be a risky and complicated move, the cutover typically happens during off-peak hours, thus minimizing the risk. Both system analysts and end-users should now see the realization of the project that has implemented changes. 7. Operations and Maintenance The final phase involves maintenance and regular required updates. This step is when end users can fine-tune the system, if they wish, to boost performance, add new capabilities or meet additional user requirements. For the maintenance and regular required updates the following will be the schedule as required in its cycle and supported with a memorandum report: For any Website, are as following:

1. Weekly Website Checks a) All pages on the front end of the website are loading without errors b) Review and resolve any issues with emails sent from the web server c) Check and remove invalid user accounts d) Check for any broken links e) Check for 404 errors and resolve these by fixing links or redirecting f) Check and remove obsolete articles g) Resolve reported website slow loading speed

2. Monthly Website Checks a) Review security scans and resolve any issues b) Review and report website statistics c) Review your local search visibility d) Backups are performed regularly and stored off site e) Update Content Management System software and plugins if applicable

3. Yearly Website Maintenance Tasks a) Update time references and copyright in footer of your website or other

locations b) Review each page on your website for consistency (fonts, photo sizes,

grammar & copywriting) c) Evaluate your active email accounts and delete unnecessary ones d) Review your website domain names and expiration e) Schedule an annual to review your overall web strategy with your

project manager

For any information system, are as following:

1. Corrective maintenance - It diagnoses and corrects errors in an operational system. Each organization has a standard method to solve their minor errors such as an error in the report title. In case or typical error the user send a request to solve the error, it is evaluated and scheduled by the system administrator, if the request approved, the maintenance team designs, tests, documents, and implements a solution. Diagnose and fix logic errors, replace defective network cabling, and update drivers are the examples of the corrective maintenance.

2. Adaptive maintenance - As the name suggest it add enhancements to the

system and makes it easier to use. The need of an adaptive maintenance in an operation for the new products and service, or the support the new web-based operation. The minor adaptive maintenance is similar to corrective maintenance. It may be difficult than the new system development. Add online capability, create new reports, install links to web site are the example of the adaptive maintenance.

3. Perfective maintenance - It involves changing an operational system to make

it more efficient, reliable, or maintainable. It is used to restore the performance of the system. It can improve the response time and efficiency of the system. It is also used for the highlighting errors and can improve system reliability. Sometimes by perfective maintenance a complex program can be simplify and improve its maintainability. To compress system files and installation of more powerful network server are the example of the perfective maintenance.

4. Preventive maintenance - It is used to avoid problems. It requires analysis of areas trouble is likely to occur. It can increases user satisfaction, and decreases down time. Like an installation of the new antivirus software, and develop standard backup schedule are the example of the preventive maintenance. This is done monthly during off-peak or when necessary to apply immediately.
