We are committed to bring the best way of management in the various forms of EPM. We understand that EPM in not a product to be sold, it is a tool to manage the inner operation of Company related to employee leave and Payroll.
1.2 Scope
This Application works in Multiple PC’s installed on multiple Computers but sharing same database by which users of different department can use it sitting at different locations simultaneously.
But in future we can make the Application where the database will be hosted in order to manage the all departments which will be located in different places and by keeping domain of Application as Online.
1.3 Benefits
- To improve the efficiency.
- Quickly find out information of an employee details.
- To provide easy and faster access information.
- To provide user friendly environment.

2.3.2 Administrator
- Administrator must be having good knowledge of database management system.
- Administrator must be capable to manage user rights.
- If the network connection does not work properly than our system should not work as
intended.
- Also that is assumed that the product is installed properly at web server.
- This system will not take care of any virus problem, which might occur either on the
client or the server system. Avoiding the use of pirated software and ensuring that floppies and other removable media are scanned for viruses before use could minimize the possibility of viral infection.
- Recovery of data after a system crash will be possible only if backups are taken at regular intervals.
- Manual interfaces cannot be fully avoided. Documented proofs like data entry of employees etc. will have to be verified by the concerned management staff before entering it into the computerized system.
