...concerned with the proposed system. This is with an idea of suggesting the best methods of information management through the use of data warehouse concepts for the proposed Greenville School Hostel Management System. The result of literature review gives us information with regard to the research done on the topic by others researchers. Result of this review will be the gaps that are found in the existing works and the good features that can be suggested for the proposed system. A data warehouse is projected in a way that data can be stored and accessed and is not restricted only to tables and relational lines. (Fink, 1998) As the data warehouse is separated from operational databases, user’s queries do not cause any impact in these systems. Data warehouse is protected from any non-authorized alteration or loss of data. Data warehouse contemplates the base and the resources needed for a Decision Support System (DSS), supplying historic and integrated data. These data are for top managers, decision makers, and partners, donors – who need brief, summarized and integrated information – and for low-level managers, for whom detailed data helps to observe some tactical aspects of the organization. In this way, data warehouse provides a specialized.

...issues 10. Conclusion Introduction Being a student of System Analysis and Design course, we have been required to come up with a concept whereby understanding an organization business function and purpose is set as the baseline. We are also required to propose an idea of a potential project to overcome the existing problem or to improve the business value. Keeping that in mind, we opted on treating Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) itself as our organization business. What is the problem in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS that we are going study and analyse? Currently, the Hostel Registration process is done manually and there is no system available for students to register their hostels. There are setbacks in the manual hostel registration systems which complicates the whole process and makes the life’s of the students much more difficult. So, we are taking up this context as our problem and proposing an idea to overcome it which is to introduce an online hostel registration portal. The team consisting of Vijay Nair, Siva Kumaaran and Kugarubaan worked on a project in order to analyse and the possible opportunities to add value to the system and to cater better registration process for the students. Project background Currently, the Hostel registration process is being done manually in UTP. Students have to go to the Hostel Registration Unit personally to register their name for allocated hostels. This typical process contains a lot of drawbacks. If the student...

It consists of the current background of the hotel and problems having due to present system and how we are going to overcome those matters through our proposed system. After gathering requirements we have found that Gayana hotel is using a manual file based system for their processes. They are keeping a huge amount of files to handle guest details, bills, inventory items...etc. Search for a record in the file system is really harsh. Although they are not well secured there is a probability of getting damaged due to a fire or a tsunami or any other kind of a disaster. The project aimed to build a fully functional system in order to achieve the efficiency in the hotel management. The overall mission of system development is to make the hotel staff can quickly and easily complete the hotel management task. . Table of Contents Abstract I Table of Contents...
