Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation and effectiveness of the Educational Management Information System (SIMDIK) at Al-Fityan School Foundation Gowa, Indonesia, with particular attention to its contribution to educational administration and digital transformation. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving relevant stakeholders within the foundation. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate three main results. First, SIMDIK integrates student, teacher, curriculum, administrative, and financial data, thereby supporting more systematic and efficient educational administration. Second, the use of digital platforms, including Google Workspace, E-Rapor Online, and LMS AFDAL, facilitates document management, assessment, reporting, online or hybrid learning, and monitoring of student progress. Third, the implementation is supported by coordination among educational units and a shared organizational vision regarding the strategic role of technology, while differences in users' information technology skills remain a significant challenge requiring continuous training and technical support. These findings indicate that SIMDIK contributes to improving the efficiency, integration, and accessibility of educational management processes at the foundation. The study implies that sustainable digital transformation in educational institutions requires not only technological infrastructure but also organizational coordination, user competency development, and continuous system evaluation.
