Abstract

The efficiency and effectiveness of educational administration in higher education are increasingly challenged by fragmented data, manual processes, limited accessibility, and the growing demand for timely academic information. This study explores the implementation of a cloud-based management information system (MIS) to address these challenges and optimize administrative operations through modern digital solutions. The primary objectives are to identify inefficiencies in existing administrative workflows, design a scalable and secure cloud-based system, and evaluate its impact on academic management performance. Adopting a Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, the study systematically conducts requirement analysis, artifact design, expert validation, and case study evaluation within a selected university. Results demonstrate that the implemented system substantially enhances data integration, operational efficiency, and decision-making accuracy across multiple administrative units. Key improvements include streamlined inter-departmental coordination, reduced manual workload, real-time accessibility of academic information, and a more responsive administrative environment. The findings suggest that cloud-based MIS adoption not only improves process efficiency but also supports strategic management and digital transformation initiatives in higher education institutions. In conclusion, this study contributes to the understanding of technology-driven administrative optimization, presenting a robust model for universities seeking to modernize their academic management practices. The proposed framework offers practical insights and can serve as a reference for institutions aiming to achieve greater efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability in educational administration.
