ABSTRACT

The work present a design of a Computer Base management information system for IMT administration.  A Computer Base management information System for IMT administration is concerned with the computerization of personnel records. The entrance of computer into the Computer Base Management Information system for IMT administration will help create and maintain efficient records.  This will also help to fish out “ghost workers”

The design was implemented to facilitate the personnel Information system for a IMT administration.  It will be less time wasting and cheap to run.

It is expected that if full consent is given to this, it will enhance the Information of personnel record for the IMT administration.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

This project work is primarily designed to give an insight to Computer Base Management Information System.

Chapter one talks about introduction to Computer Base Management Information System, study of problem and objectives as well as definition of the scope.

Chapter two comprises the literature review. Chapter three gives the detailed information about the existing (old) system, while chapter four and five deals with the design and implantation of new system.

Chapter six document the project work, while chapter seven summaries,  conclusion and suggestions were made.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0                 INTRODUCTION

The role information technology have played in various field of human endeavors can not be over emphasized. As most section of humanity like banking industries, auto mobile industries etc have experience the influenced of information technology like wise the personnel office.

Computer Base information management (CBIM) refers to both the practice and the study of the activities people perform in order to acquire, organize, maintain, retrieve and use information items such as documents (paper-based and digital), web pages and email messages for everyday use to complete tasks (work-related and not) and fulfill a person’s various roles (as parent, employee, friend, member of community, etc.). One ideal of CBIM is that we always have the right information in the right place, in the right form, and of sufficient completeness and quality to meet our current need. Technologies and tools such as personal information managers help us spend less time with time-consuming and error-prone activities of CBIM (such as looking for information). We then have more time to make creative, intelligent use of the information at hand in order to get things done or, simply, to enjoy the information itself.

For many people, this ideal seems far away. There are a bewildering number of tools available for managing personal information. But these tools can become a part of the problem leading to “information fragmentation”. Different devices and applications often come with their separate ways of storing and organizing information.

Interest in the study of CBIM has increased in recent years. One goal in the study of CBIM is to identify ways to introduce new tool support without inadvertently increasing the complexity of a person’s information management challenge. The study of CBIM means understanding better how people manage information across tools and over time. It is not enough simply to study, for example, e-mail use in isolation. A related point is that the value of a new tool must be assessed over time and in a broader context of a person’s various CBIM activities.

A personal information manager (PIM) is a type of application software that functions as a personal organizer. As an information management tool, a PIM’s purpose is to facilitate the recording, tracking, and management of certain types of “personal information”. Personal information can include any of the following:

  • Personal notes/journal
  • Address books
  • Lists (including task lists)
  • Significant calendar dates
  • Birthdays
  • Anniversaries
  • Appointments and meeting
  • Reminders
  • Email, instant message archives
  • Fax communications, voicemail
  • Project management features
  • RSS/Atom feeds

Some PIM software products are capable of synchronizing data with another PIM over a computer network (including mobile ad-hoc networks, or MANETs). This feature usually does not allow for continuous, concurrent data updates, but rather enables point-in-time updating between different computers, including desktop computers, laptop computers, and personal digital assistants.

Computer programmers have gone ahead to write a program to assist in the storage of information in a personnel office in a higher institution.
