It showed that overall affect of database information management system on firm performance was more than strategic management affect to Firm Performance (0.603) with significant level 0.05. The analysis of correlation coefficient model showed that measurement between latent variables have positive correlation with significant level α < 0.05. The analysis of Structural Equation Model revealed that it wassuitable harmonize with empirical data ( χ2 / df = 1.489 CFI = 0.997 AGFI = 0.957 RMSEA = 0.08 RMR = 0.004) and consistent with the define hypothesis.
