CONCLUSION
The package was designed in such a way that
future modifications can be done easily. The
following conclusion can be deduced from the
development of the project.
• Automation of the entire system improves the
efficiency.
• It provides a friendly graphical user interface
which proves to be better when compared to
the existing system.
• It provides a friendly graphical user interface
which proves to be better when compared to
the existing system.
• It gives appropriate access to the authorized
users depending on their permissions.
• It effectively overcomes the delay in
communications.
• Updating of information becomes so easier.
• System security, data security and reliability
are the striking features.
• The System has adequate scope for
modification in future if it is necessary
