REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Studies rely on information researched by the

proponents.
Review of Related Literature
In exploration, we find new techniques, new
knowledge, even develop new substances,
gadgets, equipment, processes or procedures,
imagination and skill is employed by the
researcher. The commodities, new devices,
services, in technology are needs of man for a
better fuller life which is the concern of the
research. These useful arts are the products of
the technological environment and the end-user is
society in general. The excerpt was stated by
Josefina Estolas in the book Fundamentals of
Research (1995).
Science and technology are essential for national
development and progress. The State shall give
priority to research and development, invention,
and their utilization, and to science and
technology education according to the 1987
Philippine Constitution (Article XIV, Section 10).
Since computer power was the critical resource,
efficiency of processing became the main goal.
Emphasis was placed on automating existing
process such as purchasing or paying, often within
single department as indicated by Jeffrey A.
Hofer on Modern System Analysis and Design
(1996).
A major purpose of a database system is to
provide users with an abstract view of data. That
is the system hides certain details of how the
data are stored and maintained as stated by
Abraham Silberschatz, Database System Concepts
(1999).
A database is an organized collection of facts and
information. An organizations database can
contain facts and information on customers,
employees, inventory, competitors, sales
information and much more. Most Managers and
executive believe a database is one of the most
valuable and important parts of a computer-based
Information System in accordance with Ralph M.
Stairs Fundamentals of Information System

(2001).
Initially, all processing was performed on
mainframe using a batch approach. Time-sharing
was an improvement, but the concept of
distributed processing with minicomputers was a
quantum leap in computer affordability and
convenience. Many companies are replacing their
mainframes and minicomputers with minicomputers
and LAN as indicated in Understanding Local Area
Networks by Neil Jenkins (1995).
The biggest asset of companies today is their
informationrepresented by people, experience,
know-how, innovations and for a market operator
to be able to compete, he or she must have a
strong information infrastructure, at the heart
of which lies the information technology
infrastructure. Thus the study of information
systems focuses on why and how technology can be
put into best use to serve the information flow
within an organization as stated in the URL

The introduction of automated systems have had a
huge effect on the world we live in over the last
30 years. Many jobs that your grandparents would
have done are now done by automated systems as

Review of Related Studies
In our society today, computers are the most
widely used tool in performing task and jobs.
Computers not only provide entertainment but it
is also used in different roles which is important
to our company. Computers are found in every
part of the society like schools, businesses,
entertainment, etc. Modern times require
computer because of its capabilities, which is
necessary for our jobs. Computers have become a
necessary in our life because it makes mans job
easier and faster than manual work. Computers
capabilities in accomplishing tasks for the user
make it a valuable tool in our daily life according

to Ronald Vilaga and Piere Conde form the study

Enrollment System for GEN3 Computer Education.
With todays technological advancements,
automation plays an essential role on business
industries. Implementing automation in business
ensures employees working more productively
because the most efficient business has an
incentive to embrace technologies that make them
more prolific as stated by Gabriel G. Martinez III
on Automated Payroll and Timekeeping System
with the use of Barcode-based ID for Snowdown
Garments Philippines Inc. (2003).
Computer may help the processing of time keeping
system for easy computation of salary, easy
retrieval and access of data of every employee
according to Ryan Jay D. Corsinos study entitled
Computerized Human Resources and Payroll
System of R & B Garments (2003).
Payroll System is a business-critical operation for
every organization wherein people must be paid
accurately and on time to get a satisfactory rate
of work. Thereby gaining more profit on the
companys side. Since it involves larger human
resources, it is in turn part of an overall business
organization and in turn part of a larger economic
system as indicated by Jesse Macul, Automated
Payroll System of American Jeans & Sportswear
Incorporated (2007).
More companies are using computers for easier,
more accurate, lighter and faster operations of
their daily routines. Computerization of the
manual systems will be a big solution for these
routines. Monitoring and payroll system is one
extremely important component of many
businesses that needs to be computerized to have
more accurate, less time consuming and efficient
results as in line with the statement of Jenilyn Z.
Cruz in her unpublished study entitled
Monitoring and Payroll System of Martialia Shoes
Factory (2003).
Data communications like LAN is a way of speeding
up data transmissions within a building. Instead
of walking back and forth in relaying the
information from one station to other, we use

computers having a LAN-connection to relay

information, as stated by Christelle Castro and
Katrina Gaite in their study named LAN-Based
Inventory and Sales Management for Normiely
Shoes (2003).
A LAN allows multiple devices (computers,
printers, servers, and many more) to SHARE a
common physical communication path. Example:
you have a small office with 5 computers, a
printer, and an internet connection. The LAN will
allow all of the computers to have access to the
printer and internet, as well as sharing files
between themselves. If there was no LAN, they
are like computers sitting in the middle of the
desert and only able to print if a printer was
directly connected to it, as posted on November 5,
2008 by a Yahoo! answers user in the URL address:

Automated systems have proven to be extremely
beneficial for identifying problems, defining the
causes, and understanding the characteristic
behavior of a dam in ways that were previously
not possible with manually monitored systems as
stated in http://www.usace.army.mil/
publications/eng-manuals/em1110-2-2300/ad.pdf, November 6, 2008.
The local area network (LAN) has evolved into a
high-speed, fault tolerant data network supplying
connectivity to groups of computers, printers, and
other devices in close proximity to each other.
Todays LAN offers users many advantages,
including high-speed access to devices and
applications, the convergence of voice, video and
data with IP telephony, and mission critical
communication between users via electronic mail
and other applications, according to Steve Lohr,

Thinking about finally updating to an automated
payroll system? The decision should be easy;
automated payroll is simple compared to manual

data collection and processing. But if youre still

not convinced, take a look at just seven of the
many ways automation can make payroll easier for
your staff and employees and less costly for your
company, in line with the statement of John
Markoffs BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY; Soon: Faster
and Wiser Networks, an article in New York Times
(1991).
Synthesis
The world today is relying more on computers
because computers are now more useful.
Businesses are taking the world of automated
systems which makes the companys work easier
and faster. Automated systems are also used for
easy storage and retrieval of data.
Local Area Network (LAN) is a connection of
interrelated computers within a small building or
establishment. Most automated systems use LANBased technology to relay information needed
within the company.
Database is the storage of information of the
company such as employees information. The
database plays an important role not only in the
system but also to the whole company. The
company rely its information on the database.
The study will base on the related literatures and
studies gathered. The proponents will develop an
Automated Payroll System using Card Swipe for
BBSI-CA to minimize their work on computation
for salary and the log in and log out of every
employee will be easier just using the card swipe.
