MIS Review: GGSH Team in Aceh Tourism E-Guide Competition 2014


       Last Monday, on December 8th 2014, we had a chance to have a Management Information Systems class in Tsunami Museum where Mr. Iskandarsyah was judging the finalists of Aceh Tourism E-Guide Competition. That was such an honour to be there to see the judgement of this competition. But unluckily, we only had time to see the presentation from 2nd team which called GGSH (Geunyoe-geunyoe Software House) Team. Geunyoe-genyoe comes from the Aceh traditional language which means “like this”. Basically, this team is from Diponegoro University, Semarang, but all of this team members are Acehnesse.

GGSH Team created an Aceh Tourism Event (ATE) application. They made two kind of applications, ATE-G for users and ATE-GA for admins. The reasons why they created this software actually because they want to join Aceh Tourism E-Guide Competition and also because they thought that the previous Aceh Tourism E-Guide which developed by DISBUDPAR was not completely functional and the display is not attractive.

They created Aceh Tourism Guide with Location Based Service, here they process the program with Google Maps as well. Some of its application functional needs are user’s position feature, list of tours and events feature, Indonesia-Aceh Dictionary, weather feature, etc. Application non-functional needs are run in android froyo version and above, application size is under 10 Mb, ATE-GA can be accessed only by administrator.

The advantages of this software such as it is developed under Android technology and Google Maps API, the database is dynamic, the display is catchy and interesting, and this is a small size application. They hope if they have a change to be the winner they will develop some other features in this software because they believe that there are still many weakness in this software and I also think the same. 

So, this is my review about GGSH Team in Aceh Tourism E-Guide Competition. Since we didn't have a chance to see another presentation, we hope that the best team will become the winner and create such a cool and useful e-guide to help the tourist have a nice time in Aceh.
