Web Portal Development for the Finance and Procurement Department at College of Arts, Media and Technology

Abstract

          This research aimed to 1) develop a web portal, "CAMT Portal," for the finance and procurement department of the College of Arts, Media and Technology, and 2) compare the work efficiency of finance and procurement officers before and after the development of a web portal. This research employed a research and development (R&D) approach, combined with a quasi-experimental design, involving a purposive sample of 11 finance and procurement officers. The tools used included the CAMT Portal, a quantitative efficiency measurement tool, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test.

          The research results showed that 1) the developed web portal was installed on the college's website, with four levels of access: system administrators, execytuves, supervisors, and personnel; 2) after implementing the web portal, work efficiency increased significantly, with the average time to search for information decreasing by 10.91 minutes per day, the workload requiring correction due to errors decreasing from 15.91% to 6.27%, and the time administrators spent following up on tasks decreasing by 12.73 minutes per week. Regarding satisfaction, users reported the high level of overall satisfaction with the system (Mean = 4.45), confirming that centralizing information through the web portal effectively reduces redundancy, increases accuracy, and enhances transparency in management.
