1. The document proposes a school information system for all schools in Indonesia based on cloud SAAS technology. This would allow schools to share one system and save costs compared to individual systems. 2. Key benefits identified include lower costs, time savings, increased reliability compared to traditional web hosting. Cloud SAAS is suitable given curriculum commonalities between schools. 3. Requirements for the system include user login levels, academic data viewing/editing, and report generation. The design includes entity-relationship and UML diagrams. Further research plans were also outlined.

system throughout Indonesia based on cloud SAAS as follows
A. Identification of Problems :
Contains a number of questions that focus on basic
understanding of the problems with the concept of a 5W + H.
Among others :
1.What are the obstacles that occur in schools in the
procurement and maintenance of information systems?
2.Who is in need and will use a school information system
throughout Indonesia based on cloud SAAS?
3.What are the economic advantages of joint use school

cloud?
4.How to design a school information system throughout
Indonesia based on cloud SAAS to fit the needs of schools
and curricula?
5.Which interface will be selected in this information system
software?
6.Why use technology cloud SAAS ?
B. Requirements Analysis Functional and Non Functional
Functional and non functional requirement is related to

specifications to run this software. For the functional's
requirements include:
1.User can be login together with a different user levels.
2.User can view, enter, delete, edit / update, and search for If illustrated as follows (for the case of West Java province) :
academic data in accordance with permissions granted.
3.Users can obtain academic reports online and print it.
4. Users can obtain academic information from their own
school and also academic information from the center.
For non-functional's requirements it include the need of the
minimum hardware for running the software of school
