5. This project TELEPHONE BILLING SYSTEM includes some facilities
of travel such as registration, search, display, modification,
delete etc. This software searches the client data which is store
in the record.
The software used for small schools for maintaining there
records related to library and cost savings.

20. REQUIREMENTS
HARDWARE REQUIRED
• Printer, to print the required documents of the project
• Compact Drive
• Processor : intel
• Ram : 512 MB or more than 512MB
• Harddisk : 80 GB or more than 80GB.
SOFTWARE REQUIRED
• Operating system : Windows XP
• Turbo C++, for execution of program and Ms word, for
presentation of output.

21. ADVANTAGES
• It allows effective and easy management of customers' payments in a quick and timely manner. Any
inefficiency should be greatly reduced.
• The system can be custom built to suit the specific needs of the company. This further allows for a smooth
billing process.
• A reduction in human error will occur. This should reduce cost and time spent correcting errors.
• All these benefits combined mean that in the long run a computerised billing system should be more cost
effective for a business when compared to a manual one.
DISADVANTAGES
• The initial cost of installing the system can be high - especially if the business requires extra features added
to the software.
• There can also be other unforeseen costs - staff training, for instance.
• As with all computer systems, there is always the chance of associated hardware and/or software problems.
Data can be lost through power failures or accidental deletion. Problems can also occur with viruses,
hacking and fraud.
• Online facility is not available.

22. CONCLUSION
After entering into the project, user is left with several options via –
a) The user can take new connections.
b) The user can view the existing lists of customers, which already have telephone
connections.
c) The user can of course see bills & take billing statements.
d) The user can also do several administrative works like managing rates of calls,
addition or modification of metered calls & customer entries.
It is a computerized system, which can be used very easily & effectively by the
administrators of the telephone billing system.

23. SYSTEM DESIGN
Then we began with the design phase of the system. System design is a solution, a
“HOW TO” approach to the creation of a new system. It translates system
requirements into ways by which they can be made operational. It is a
translational from a user oriented document to a document oriented
programmers. For that, it provides the understanding and procedural details
necessary for the implementation. Here we use Flowchart to supplement the
working of the new system. The system thus made should be reliable, durable and
above all should have least possible maintenance costs. It should overcome all the
drawbacks of the Old existing system and most important of all meet the user
requirements.
