As a step towards this objective, the management of MOWD started a computerized Billing and Collection System largely implemented using the ____(mention here the software that they are using)___ . Whatever the reason for the choice, it may have been cogent at that time but the selection has brought to the fore the following disadvantages:

At that time, it is also obvious
