TECHNICAL REVIEW & ANALYSIS On our Current & Proposed Application Software Program Current Environment
During the initial review of the current system, it is observed that the system modules contained weak data relationships & integrity; in result it gives different problems to Users and the Enterprises. The Users of current system need to put extra efforts to drive the desired results. For example doing manual calculations, re-entering data etc. etc. Consequently data processing has become more time consuming, further it has enhanced high probability of new mistakes and new problems. The Current System first developed before 4 years, using FoxPro for DOS, which provides limited functionality for the multi-user in corporate environment. Later the system was designed in Visual FoxPro 5.0 that is presently in use. This software ranked as Desktop Database. Visual FoxPro is a small Desktop Database Management System with limited database function abilities. The existing system works in Single-user Environment instead of Multi-user Environment that is need of our company. Further the system has Centralized processing Environment instead of Client Server Environment; in result there are negative affects in speed and operations of the system. Some modules of system takes more than an hour for performing their functions due to huge data load on server and load is incrementally increasing day by day. An alarm should be realized that the current database is near to reach at its storage limits and thereafter would become unusable.

Suggestions:
We should immediately take steps to Change the existing Data Processing Architecture from an old and limited software to Industry Standard and Proven Data Processing Architecture. We need to focus on basic economical need of our business that is timely and reliable processing of our data. The importance of Timely and reliable processing has been world over realized weather it is Small, Medium or Large size company. Second high importance is the System Security that goes along with speedy processing of data. In a Company like Ours, that requires, managing market changes after each second, fast and reliable data processing system is inevitable. Oracle based system is our solution as Oracle is a largest manufacturer of data processing system including RDBMS, Application Server and development tools. Oracle software are running on top 10 web sites and worlds leading Companies, Banks, financial Institutions. There are some other competitive systems of Oracle like DB2 (IBM), SQL Server (Microsoft) but these products are still far away from Oracles performance. Oracles development tools are little expensive as compare to Visual Basic, Java but provides excellent services and solution for 1

Rapid Development. Whereas other systems are lacking in it because of their openness, though Oracle solutions are scaleable from Client Server to Intranet or Extranet Architecture.

Required Targets for Proposed System


1. Development of a Fast, Reliable and Durable Data Processing System. 2. Implementation of enterprise data management rules with comprehensive and fine granule user and requirement-oriented data security. 3. Interlinking of different data processing and management point (Lahore, Islamabad & Karachi) using available communication technologies like WAN / Internet etc. 4. Developing multimode centrally managed Data Center which will be capable to provide facilities world wide such as www.salesforce.com www.oracle.com

Program for new development Oracle Data Based System. The existing system will be redeveloped in Oracle platform as a Client Server Model starting from 16-Jan-2003, and after successful completion of initial phase it can be migrated to Internet platform without any major coding or development effects. Which provides the online access to clients for different reports or status, just like www.akdtrade.com The system will be developed in three phases: Phase I Development of Settlement Management System (Karachi Office) Phase II Risk Management System (Karachi Office) Phase III Accounts Management System (Karachi Office) Proposed Tools/Environment
Operating System Net Working Database Server Computing Mode Development Tool Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 Server Network with TCP/IP Settings Oracle 8i Database Server Client/Server Oracle Developer 6i (front end tool) VB/Java (for some database conversion operations)
