MIS-MMH is a 5-year Management Information System Plan developed for Manila Midtown Hotel (MMH). The plan is based on IBM's Business Systems Planning Manual (BSP) which provides for top-down analysis and bottom-up implementation to aid MMH in establishing information systems that will satisfy its near and long-term information needs and requirements. The BSP method helped defined the Information Architecture that identifies all data classes and describes the ideal operations MMH should be carrying out to achieve its mission, goals and objectives. The study identifies MMH's organizational and information systems strategy and the various problems it faces with regard to information technology resources. These problems result in poor system design and subsequently in the wasting of company resources. Development of an overall systems plan in order to integrate all systems and allow for the smooth flow of hotel operations is recommended. The development of an overall systems plan is based on functional areas so that the various needs of each function will be answered. Requirements for the acquisition of hardware and software, maintenance, and other operations were identified and schedules were provided to show the transition from the old to the new system.
