Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a critical role in economic growth and employment, yet their ability to remain competitive is often constrained by limited capital, fragmented information infrastructure, and uneven digital capabilities. In recent years, cloud-based information systems have been increasingly adopted as an alternative to conventional IT infrastructures, particularly due to their scalability, flexibility, and reduced upfront investment requirements. This study examines the design and implementation of cloud-based information systems in SMEs and evaluates their implications for operational efficiency and organizational scalability. Using a quantitative explanatory research design, data were collected from SMEs that have implemented cloud solutions and analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that organizational readiness and security risk management are decisive factors shaping the effectiveness of cloud system implementation. SMEs with adequate preparedness and structured risk controls are more likely to achieve measurable improvements in process efficiency, data integration, and decision-making responsiveness. In addition, the findings highlight that modular and scalable system architectures allow SMEs to adjust operational capacity in line with market fluctuations while avoiding excessive infrastructure costs. By empirically linking system design choices with organizational and governance conditions, this study contributes an integrated framework to the literature on SME digital transformation. The results also provide practical guidance for managers and policymakers in formulating cloud adoption strategies that support long-term digital resilience.

Abstract

The implementation of Field Work Practice (PKL) in vocational schools still faces administrative and monitoring challenges due to reliance on manual reporting systems. These limitations affect reporting efficiency, transparency, and teachers' ability to monitor student activities in real time. This community service activity aimed to implement and assist the use of a web-based PKL monitoring system at SMK Nasional Makassar to support digital monitoring, reporting, and evaluation of PKL activities. The implementation process included needs analysis, system design, implementation, user socialization, mentoring, and evaluation using the Waterfall approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and literature review. System evaluation was conducted through Black Box Testing and User Acceptance Testing (UAT). The Black Box Testing results showed that all main system functions operated properly in accordance with user requirements. Furthermore, the UAT results showed a feasibility percentage of 88.5%, indicating that the system was categorized as “Very Feasible.” The implementation of the system improved the effectiveness of real-time monitoring, digital reporting, data management, and administrative efficiency of PKL activities in vocational schools. The findings demonstrate that the web-based monitoring system can effectively support digital transformation in vocational education management.
