ACKNOWLEDGEMENT In the beginning we would like to thank our GOD, the most merciful and beneficent, for giving us the strength to complete this project with full determination. My special thanks to my course instructor, Mrs. Ambreen Ahmed, without her help and guidance we would not have been able to complete the report up to the mark and as well if it was not for her support in the field of Microsoft acsses i dont think we would be able to present the screen shots in a appropriate way.

INTRODUCTION
This case study is about a video shop whose name us Sun Video Corporation. It has expertise in video rental business. Their plan is to have a series of stores scattered strategically around a metropolitan area. As being expertise in the video rental business they offer great deal for their customer and provide a competitive edge for their competitors. In this case we are required to do the work of the system analyst and go through each process which the system analyst performs.

SCOPE
As all of you know that as the world is advancing the need for new system have increased in every organization old systems are being replaced by new system, the reason behind this is that the organization demands excellent quality work more profit to be earned in short term and to gain more market share as quick as they can and to kick their competitors out of the market. New system is: User Friendly More Efficient They provide you with the latest security (I.E Fire Wall) U can use internet proving you with the better speed and quality so you could send and receive important e-mails

System Analysis and Design

Group Project

As mentioned above that what the new system does, our prime target is to create a new and reliable system for Sun Video Corporation as it is offering many facilities to its customers and it is proving a competitive edge.

OBJECTIVE
My objective is to make useful and user friendly system, so that non technical person can also under stand it. It is easy for the company to use the system, providing the system that would be designed for the company will consists of high security software (zone alarm version 9) so that no hacker can break inside the system and stole data and installing latest version of antivirus (I.E McAfee version 8.0) so the system is virus free and the data is secured

PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
After receiving the request from Sun Video Corporation regarding their system our team started its work with the very basic step that was searching for the problem by the method of fact and finding techniques and gather the information regarding the problem that was faced by the Sun Video Corporation.

FACT FINDING TECHNIQUES

This stage involves Interviews, conclusion, Survey, conclusion problem of the current system, proposed solution to the problem of the current solution conclusion

Interviews

System Analysis and Design

Group Project

This was the basic step taken by our team this main reason for conducting interview was that we would know that what are the problem that the company is currently facing and how is it affecting their business? Although taking interview is not an easy task but we manage to do it some how.

Conclusion
As a part of our first step we conducted this session and went to various people like the managing director the company, the sales manager, the cashier and asked them about the problem that they were facing, so that the information that they provide us would be later used on.

Surveys
The second step that our group took was going on to surveys of different famous and large video stores in order to see what is the main reason behind their success in the market and what type of system are they currently using ad what are the benefits that they are getting out of it?

Conclusion of Survey
Conducting survey was successes as it gave answer to most of are questions. Are prime target was achieve we gathered all the relevant information and the irrelevant information was discarded.

Problems with the current system

1. The problem that was detected and was commonly seen in the answer of interviews was that all the work was done manually, 2. There were a lot of records being generated on papers, which was very insecure if any thing happened to the store all the records would be destroyed and that would provide the company in a great loss, 3. No proper security arrangements every one was accessible to the personal records of every individual customer. 4. No privacy.

SOLUTION to the problems

After conducting the interviews and surveys it was observed that the company needed a latest system, in order to improve its quality so there fore we came up with the new system know as Video Rental System which was to use further to solve all the problems of the users and the corporation.

Advantages of the system to be introduced

By introducing this system the company would be in safe hands due to the latest software installed in the system which would prevent it from data hacking. 1. All the personal records would have right of privacy, as passwords can be easily generated with the help of password manager guide which is an 8 user guide, user friendly software which tells the user how to create a password and to use it.

2. It more reliable, Fast and user friendly. 3. It can generate automatic backup of each customer records. Incase the original one is deleted the system can provide the user with the back up. 4. It would be sending automatic notifications to the user who have rented videos for $50.

System Analysis and Design

Group Project

5. It will contain software which will the user on which shelf on what location is the particular video which the customer s looking for this will provide them with time flexibility and the customer would also be satisfied with this service. 6. Introducing this software would facilitate new customer enrolling and renting movies from Sunny Videos that will make them enjoy high profit.

CONCULSION
After performing the necessary steps it was founded that sunny videos manual way of working was more time consuming and it was not efficient to work with this system as no privacy right were available. Being the system analyst it was decided that it is necessary to introduce a new system for Sunny Video which is know as Sunny rental Video

FEASIBILITY
Feasibility report means to identify the problem and summarizing the complete objectives. It also creates broad data for the management team that would decide by looking at the objects whether to move on the new phase or not. There are 4 types of feasibility report which are mentioned below: 1. Technical 2. Operational 3. Economical 4. Schedule

System Analysis and Design

Group Project

Technological or Technical feasibility

Under this process the (IT) company determines weather the company has technological resources to compose or purchase the system. Thus we figured the technical feasibility report; we came to know the system which is proposed to the Sun Cooperation can be operated easily. The system replace the manually work and transform all the manually data in to computerize form .which would augment productivity. Training sessions are required for the employees to educate them to excel to the newly proposed system and to further understand and use the built in software that are inside the system to prevent their company from suffering great losses. Operational feasibility Operational feasibility helps to crack business problems and provide opportunities to business .Our system would help users to use the system effortlessly, thus eliminating the paper work. Through data entry the system would cradle all the records of the customers and hence the transactions made by sun video can be seen through any interface of sun video. Through this all the customers record would be maintain properly without fuss. It would show all the records of payment received, due dates, and pending payments. This 10

System Analysis and Design

Group Project

system would be user- friendly which would enable employees to learn and operate the system fester achieving productive results. Pieces framework Pieces stands for Performance, Information, Economy, Control, Efficiency, Services Pieces has merely 6 points. Performance The currant system is not that fast and efficient which waste sundry time in paper work even after that the transactions of the customers are not recorded properly thus arising conflicts between management and employees and customers .Thus performance is effected, through new system the whole thing would be computerized and the task would be done rapidly hence augmenting performance levels. Information The system will have its own data base through it the company can look and see all the transactions of the customers thus having information about all it customers . Economy The system would be computerized, user friendly thus it would enhance productivity, thus making the project economically strong. Perishing manually work thus codifying and organizing the data of the customers properly. It would reduce the more workers, thus cutting down the expanses and saving more money. Control Top management would have charge to control the system, thus it would decrease pilfering , providing security . Thus every employee would have limited excess. Efficiency The system would be computerizes all over thus it would coup with all sinecures like data entry, customer information, billing information resulting efficiency among employees eventually satisfying customers . Services

Our company would provide augment product or system thus in future if the sun cooperation needs to have new tools we would provide them. Thus upgrading the system.

Schedule Feasibility.
Is that feasibility under which our company will meet its deadlines, and task to gratify them? Under it we have set targets to finish what activity on which time.

Task completing dates

Feasibility report would be done in 3 days including technical, economical, operational, schedule.

Pieces framework would be done in 4 days which would include performance, information, economy, control, efficiency and services.

Investigation of (PI) will be done in 2days Requirements of users will be done in 2.5 days Analysis of system needs would be done in 4days Development and documenting the software would take 8days Cost benefit analysis would be done in 2days

12

System Analysis and Design Payback analysis would be done in 1 day

All the diagrams e.g. pert chart, data flow, level zero diagrams would be done in 5days

Level 1 diagram would be done in 3days Data store would be made in 1 day All Entities software would be done in 4 days Making of screenshots in 2 days

Economical Feasibility
Under this feasibility we analysis weather benefits in making the new system are more then the development cost. Is it profitable to take the task and make it? Will it going to provide any benefits to the organization.

COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS Economic feasibility is performed by doing the cost-benefit analysis, which is the process of identifying the financial benefits and costs associated with the development of the project. The evaluation of our project is being done on the following strategies

13
