Management Strategies and Practices of In-House Development and Outsourcing of Information Systems in Higher Education Institutions - A Case in Samar, Philippines

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the management strategies and practices utilized by the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) on the island of Samar in the acquisition of information systems using in-house development and outsourcing acquisition methods. It made use of a descriptive method of research. The questionnaire and interview were employed as tools in data gathering. The key findings revealed that most of the HEIs implemented their information systems through outsourcing, had few years of system implementation, had an average budget allocation, had on-going technical support, and had an existing management structure of the information systems. The management strategies utilized by HEIs were highly implemented, while the practices were often practiced to both in-house development and outsourcing methods. In general, the level of management strategies and practices observed in the acquisition of information systems in higher education institutions was similar regardless of the choice of acquisition method – either in-house development or outsourcing.
