ABSTRACT
This research study is focused on design and implementation Centralized Data Communication Network using Anchor Insurance Company Limited, Uyo as case study. The study is aimed at developing a central server that maintains, manages and controls the activities of all other systems, creating a system that will reassure data security, integrity and reliability and designing a system that will be cost effective compared to individual database system. The significant of the study is to create a central system where all data will be stored and accessed when needed by making use of local area network connection. Example, in an organization where there are several client computers and one server. The research methodology used is systematic methodology and the programming language used for the development of the system is Visual Basic programming language and MySQL as database. The organization should embrace and develop the computerized data centralization of monitoring the company to help in centralizing data in order to achieve the company’s goal in which it was established.
