Online Registration System

Another study is the Online Registration System which was conducted by Al-Shaikh in Jordan.
According to Al-Shaikh, the problem is the difficulty to register and manage the data of more than
15,000 students who are taking their exams in universities using the manual system. Using this system, it
is hard to communicate between the colleges and the unit that is responsible for the examination of the
students. The gathered data can be inaccurate and the fact that not all the colleges fill their students
data properly or correctly and data storage might be susceptible to corruption at any time. In his study,
the proposed system is the Online-Registration system but it is just a sub-system of Web Portal. Web
Portal is defined as a system that presents information from diverse sources in a unified way.

The proposed system is a 3-Tier web based. 3-Tier Architecture is a Client/Server Architecture. In
registration system, as a result, after entering the student data to the system, user can have
confirmation to assure the students was enrolled into the exam and the exam receipt to be given to the
student. For the reporting subsystem, it will be easily known how many students applied for the exam
and the fees required for each student.

As cited in the article entitled Computerized Billing for Time Improves Client Communication and Firm
Profitability by Murphy (1996), he stated that, accounting firms can improve their profitability and
relation with clients by automating client billing with computers. Accounting firms can use personal
computer as an economical means of computerizing the billing process.

A Computerized Billing System allows accounting firms to more effectively manage their employees
productivity and give them the means to analyze the hours available and hours billed of each employee.
A Computerized Billing System provides more control over accounts receivable and client work
processes.

According to the article entitled, Computer in Todays World Philippines by Bitter (1995), stated that
the function performed by the computer division of various organizations has been identified as data
processing program expedite many business functions such as the accounts payable system. They keep
records of vendors number, special accounts and dates of payments.

There are many advantages in using an accounts payable package: all information remains in one done
automatically; calculations are easily made; the time involved to do work is greatly reduced.

Accordin to the article entitled, Information to Computer and Information System by Syzmanski
(1998), Computers are used in business for many tasks that can be grouped into category called data
processing. Data processing includes tasks such as word processing, billing, and assembling numbers and
facts associated with general office functions, such as ordering processing, inventory and billing.
