Abstract

This study aims to develop an information system on a digital platform for providing business consulting services to SMEs and to assess user satisfaction. The system is designed to reduce limitations related to time and location by utilizing online channels such as video calls and electronic communication.


This research is an applied research study that incorporates the Research and Development (R&D) process along with quantitative research. The sample group consists of SMEs using the information system, and data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to evaluate users' perceived usefulness and ease of use. The data analysis employed descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation.


The findings indicate that users perceive the system as beneficial to their business operations, particularly in reducing consultation time and allowing for the storage of consultation records for future reference. However, some limitations were identified, such as difficulties in scheduling appointments and accessibility challenges for certain user groups. Therefore, it is recommended to further develop the system to enhance the user interface and provide more stable access channels.


In conclusion, the developed system effectively meets the needs of SMEs and supports the digital transformation of businesses. However, additional improvements should be made to simplify complex processes and enhance functionality to ensure sustainable usability in the future.
