SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT

System study is a process of gathering the facts concerning the system breaking into elements and relationship between elements. It provides a framework for visualizing the organizational and environmental factors which operate on a system.

System study is for finding out what happens in the existing system, deciding what changes and new features are required and defining exactly what the proposed system must be. The process of the task is largely concerned with determining, developing and agreeing to the user’s requirements.

The system study focuses on each stage on the system development cycle. System analysis is the study of sets of interacting entities, including computer based system analysis. System analysis in the field of electrical engineering characterizes electrical systems and their properties.

5 2.1 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

The hardware specification is to support the proposed system, which have been identified, ordered, delivered, installed and tested at the time of specification. The software specification is one which says about the development environment of the package.

HARDWARE SPECIFICATION

PROCESSOR : Intel Pentium Dual Core 1.8 GHz

RAM : 4 GB DDR3 RAM

HARD DISK DRIVE : 160 GB

MONITOR : 17” Color TFT Monitor

KEYBOARD : Multimedia Keyboard 100 Keys

SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION

FRONTEND : VB.NET

BACK END : Microsoft access 2002

OPERATING SYSTEMS : Microsoft Windows 8

6 2.2 SOFTWARE FEATURES

FRONT-END Visual Basic NET

Visual Basic NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented computer programming language viewed as an evolution of the classic visual basic (VB), which is implemented on the .NET Framework. Microsoft currently supplies two main editions of IDEs for developing in visual basic. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 which is commercial software and visual basics and express edition 2010, which is free of charge .The command line compiler, VBE.EXE, is installed as a part of freeware .NET framework SDK. Mono also includes the command line VB.NET compiler.

Need for .Net

The need to have .Net in today’s world is to overcome the short comings faced in the form of internet being used currently.

• Makes programming easier • Used to build reusable web services. • Web services can be written in any programming language-supports interoperability. • The same web services works with all devices, eliminating the need to write a different version for every device. • .Net experience makes it easy to add new interface techno

Goals of Vb.Net

• Creating a highly distributed applications • Simplifying software development • Better user interface over the web • Simplifying Deployment.

Vb.Net initiative

The .Net initiative offers a complete suite for developing and deploying applications. They are

• .Net products • .Net services • .Net frameworks

BACKEND: Microsoft access 2002

Microsoft access is a DBMS (also known as Database management system) from Microsoft that combines the relational Microsoft jet database engine with a graphical user interface and software development tools. It is a member of the Microsoft office suite of applications, included in the professional and higher editions or sold separately.

7 Microsoft access stores data in its own format based on the access jet database engine. It can also import or link directly to data stored in other applications and databases.

Analysis implies the process of breaking something down into its parts so that whole may be understood. After the phase analyst should be familiar with the detailed operation of the system and what is required for the system

9 3.1 EXISTING SYSTEM:

The SAP software is expensive this involves programming, equipment, usage, advisors, preparing and so on. Alternatively can contract a developer or two as a representative and just purchase business counselling from an outsider source, do all customization and end client preparing inside.

NEED FOR THE PROPOSED SYSTEM:

 User friendly features  Flexibility  Processing time must be decreased.  Better user interface over the web
