Hotel Management System Project Proposal

This document is a project proposal for a Hotel Management System (HMS). The project aims to replace manual hotel management processes with a computerized system to improve efficiency and reduce errors. The system will manage customer databases, inventory, room divisions, staff, and back-office tasks. The proposal details the project's objectives, tasks, deliverables, and a timeline. It also lists the practical skills to be demonstrated upon completion (programming languages like C, C++, Java, VB.Net) and identifies potential resource needs. The proposal includes a section on safety considerations and space for supervisor review and approval.

Resource requirements:
Do you anticipate needing any resources to complete your project (other than those that you can
provide yourself or those provided as standard by IST in its Labs or software that we allow you to
download and install in your own machines)?
In general we cannot provide software to students other than what you can find on LAB PCs,
neither can we install any even free open source. It is your responsibility to provide the machine on
which you install and run such software if the module leader agrees.
But in that case your supervisor has first to agree on the software or hardware you will use.
Resources may include hardware, software, services, etc.
(Tick one) : Yes No
If you answer "yes", then in this box you should identify what equipment and other resources you
think you are likely to need, and state what effect it will have on your project if they are not
available.
NOTE: the University will not be able to supply you with any resources you say you require.
