The caller-up I have chosen to design database software for is called Multi- quicknesss. They are a private limited corporation that specializes in the manufacture and installation of high tech security doors and screens.1.1 IntroductionThe company I have chosen to design database software for is calledMulti-installations. They are a private limited company thatspecializes in the manufacture and installation of high tech securitydoors and screens.They do many mail shots per month and send up to four brochures to anycompany/client within a specified department.The company have often made mistakes as to when they do a mail shotmany companies accept the same brochure twice or receive a brochurethat they do not require.1.2 InvestigationAt the moment there is not a current computer based system in place.Although every time a mail shot is done the company logs this manual of armslyin a book and record what brochure was sent to which company.The current problem is that every time a mail shot is done someonemust impression through the books previous records to see if a particularbrochure has been sent to that particular company. This is proving tobe a long method as often the soul checking the book misses out acompany that has already been sent that particular brochure, and thisresults in the company loosing out as more brochure are employ up, andthe company receiving the brochure will simply be annoyed with theamount of brochure s receives from Multi-installations and simplythrows them away.I asked the company the following questions1. What sort of manual system is there in place at the moment?2. How is the data recorded when a saucy company needs to be sent a brochure?3. How is the data stored and can it be accessed easily?4. Is there a backup copy of your manual system?5. What problems are you having with the current system?6. What functions would you same(p) the new database to perform?7. Will the information in the database need to be protected that only specific people have access to it?8. Do you regain the new computerised system will save time and money?The main problem with the current manual system is that every time anew company is sent a brochure it must be logged in a book. This bookcontains lists of companies that have already been sent that specificbrochure. The current user must look through all the lists to see ifthat company has been sent that specific brochure.1.3 Requirements of the New System
