During the last year, the company's management faced many problems with their actual information system, mainly when producing various statistical reports. In fact, the main issue is related to independent master files used by different departments. Different attribute names and different coding schemes, along with same data repeated in many of these files, made things worse. In addition, SEAMS has a problem with the management of its internal local area main network. The traffic of communication between the computers is very high, because too many operations are performed each day. Thus, the communication is very slow and it takes a lot of time to complete the network operations. The computers are connected using hubs, in the average of one hub for each 16 computers. The new proposed system, to be used by the company, will help in contracting the management size by lowering the expenses of extra employees, and to cut many of the expenses due to repetitive operations performed by the old system. Also, to save more in the hardware cost, the new system is based on using one server only, running as a database server, Web server, Mail server, and security server at the same time
