3. Traditional File Process

Guidance Office – Entrance Exam System

Explain why and compare the two.

It makes sense to use the traditional file system processing because the system does not require a high
maintenance security, and the files and data saved are only the exam results and the test paper. The
documents are stored only for the student’s credibility. If we are going to convert it to a database, the
system will be arranged, organized and secured but it will not be used that much.

Registrar’s Office – Student Background System

The data that the system stores are from the documents that the students submitted. The data stored
are only for background checks and student identification. The data are rarely used, they are mainly
stored and it only serves its purpose. If we are going to convert it to a database, it will be a large one,
but an unutilized one, since that main use of the system is only for storing.
Student information in the library

-traditional file processing makes sense when dealing with student information in the library because it
is easy to use and it keeps the files organized. Traditional file systems are less complex, which makes it
easier for untrained users to access, and manipulate data. Locating or manipulating a database
information may lead to user error that can cause alterations of data loss if the users are not technically
trained. The student information will only identify the individual for minor library transactions.
