Project TWO: a DVD store

Description of the Problem:

Esquire DVD Store was founded by Mr. Abbas in 1986 in the Commercial Area of DEFENCE Housing Authority, Lahore. Mr. Abbas is currently the Manager of Esquire DVD Store. This store deals in all sorts of movies and offers rental services. As it has a famous name in the market, store is visited by a large number of customers everyday. They have links with various DVD suppliers and other stores all over Pakistan, which supply them different kinds of DVDs and help them to keep their stock up to date by supplying new movies as soon as they are released.

A brief intro 1 mark

Their major problem is that they do not have a system with secured data and record keeping is not efficient as records are kept on registers. Even for staff as showing the daily sales to the Manager as report is also problem for them to tackle as report generation is hand written and difficult for the staff to calculate the number of DVDs rented.
So, the Manager of the store had called me to evaluate their current system and give them a computerised solution for their problem.

And the nature of problem mentioned. 1 mark.
