LimitationsThe current DBMS has very limited scope for

expansion with the expansion of the companyIf new business rules are introduced a high

level of design modification is required in the Database

The current system lacks extensive testing and needs sufficient maintenance to fix any bugs if encountered in the future.

As the database is on Microsoft Access platform it has a generic limitation with data sharing.

Future OpportunitiesThe main potential for this database is linking

it up with HTML and uploading it with the company’s website. This will enable customers to register in advance according to their own preferences.
