design where the functional rocesses were modelled visually using the 6nified !odlleing
/echniCue to clearly and visually descri$e system functions. Interface designs were as well

enCuiry) sales or customer reorts to $e generated from the system. /his I think could $e handled $y
having a facility of eEort the views into another downloada$le file formats say word or acro$at
files.
Another area of imrovement will ossi$ly result from the fact that customers might reCuest to
make urchases online from their comfort than having to enCuire a$out roducts $efore actual
roduct sales. /his might result in the demand of shifting from an enCuiry system to an eFcommerce
system.
I as well acknowledge the fact that some features imlemented now could $e $etter harness uon to
$etter serve my client. /his could $e for eEamle the introduction of the cororate information into

in a similar disciline like this.

/he ro#ect ut me to do Cuality research on software develoment) we$ technologies and

intensively used most of the things I learnt through researching. It has $uilt my confidence level and
taught me the imortance of time management and ro#ect management as a whole.
I have also learnt not to aroach things with little mind) $ut rather attack every ro#ect with all the
