“…It requires that it is typed, printed, signed by the sender, passed through persons through whom the memo was written for their respective signatures and optional comments and sent to the intended recipient(s) via a clerk [4][5][6]. The recipient acts on this memo (either by appending comments or by first directing it to another person for comments before finally treating it) and sends it back via a clerk to the originator of the memo [7,8]. This method is known to be slow in processing, error prone, having difficulty in correcting errors when they occur, storage-limited, laborious, difficult to index, rigorous to search and expensive in its administration.…”

The new need to move to an online mode of administration has necessitated the adoption of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). The conventional paper-based administrative memorandum is relatively costly, requires manpower, insecure and non-confidential, prone to unauthorized access and has a relatively slow cycle time; among others. An electronic memo (e-memo) can save cost, offer high speed of processing, reliability and security. The aim of this work was to conceptualize, design and develop a novel semantic web-based memo platform that allows for handling memos within an organization. The tools used include HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, jQuery and AJAX, MySQL. The developed system was tested in three stages. Testing was done in the Department of Computer Science of the institution of case study, then in the Faculty of Science and finally in the entire Lagos State University. Agile development method was used in the development process. The designed system was hosted on a cloud-server and a total of 43 test cases were considered and an average of four minutes was recorded for a complete memo cycle. eMemo allows users to generate, sign, treat and memo electronically. It is such a useful tool that will enhance information processing in a faster, standardized and more secure manner.
