The low performance of educational laboratories managed manually has a negative impact on the students’ learning outcomes. This study aims to compare the performance of laboratories which implement the MISLab as the information systems management to the performance of laboratories managed manually. The study was conducted in 18 Vocational Schools in North Sumatera Province of Indonesia, involving 36 laboratory managers, 54 practicum teachers, and 90 students of educational laboratories. The finding of this study showed that the implementation of MISLab succeeded in improving the performance of educational laboratories with 88.45% achievement of ideal standard and contributed to the 55.52% performance improvement compared to manual laboratory management. The increased laboratory performance has a positive impact on increasing the satisfaction of laboratory managers and students as users, which will lead to enhanced learning effectiveness and achievement of learning outcomes.
