Enhancing Accreditation Processes in Polytechnic of Media Kreatif Through Cloud-based Academic Data Collection and Analysis

Data retention plays a crucial role in the accreditation process of an on-campus program of study. Since 2012, Polytechnic of Media Kreatif has been engaged in the implementation of accreditation procedures. However, the effectiveness of these procedures is hindered by the decentralized storage of data, resulting in disruptions throughout the data-gathering process. Consequently, stakeholders have difficulties in their efforts to evaluate and accredit study programs, as they are required to manually look through individual files and data. This research anticipates that the deployment of centralized data storage for certification purposes will alleviate the challenges previously associated with this process. The agile method was used to develop the systems. In conclusion, this study found that the applications that have been created to help with the management of accreditation-related data were supported by a well-running black-box test. It is also backed by an average usability test of 74%. Keywords: cloud storage, data management, agile method
