INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) DEPARTMENT IN SSGC

Information technology (IT) is the study, design, development, implementation, support

or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software
applications and computer hardware."
IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect,
process, transmit, and securely retrieve information. The basic and foremost departments in Sui
Southern Gas Company SSGC (IT) are:

 ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP)

 INFRASTRUCTURE
 GIS
 CIS
 HRMS AND PAYROLL
 VALUE ADDED SERVICES
HRMS & Payroll
PAY ROLL(ORACLE)
Payroll department is playing very important role in the organization. Following work is done by
payroll department.
• Sending require data to HR depart.
• Checking people's hours.
• Making the monthly payments.
• Working out tax and national insurance deductions
• Setting up new members of staff
• Calculating overtime
• Issuing tax forms
• Managing special situations like maternity or sickness pay

I learnt about different software of oracle (PL/SQL, Oracle, and Report Builder)

All about application.

 What is an application?
An application is any program, or group of programs, that is designed for the end user.
Applications software (also called end-user programs) include such things as database
programs, word processors, Web browsers and spreadsheets.

 Overview of Oracle E business Suite.

Oracle E-Business Suite is the most comprehensive suite of integrated, global business
applications that enable organizations to make better decisions, reduce costs, and increase
performance.

Introduction to PL/SQL.
 In order to run PL/SQL, Java is mandatory.

User Security.
Where we create user profile or we do customization.
Overview of User Mail. How it works.
How to respond to user requests?
For example, if any user is asking for report customization or he/she is asking to add any field.

Type’s pf payroll.
 Quick payroll
  Reverse payroll
 Pre payroll
 After payroll

Batch element entry

 Recurring
You can start entries for a recurring element at any point in time. Use DateTrack to set
the Effective Start Date of an entry, to update values, and to maintain history for the
entry.
Values you enter for a recurring element remain effective for all subsequent processing
periods until you change the element entry. A recurring element entry ends if the
employee ceases to be eligible for the element, for example after a change of work
assignment.
 Non-recurring

When you define an element as nonrecurring you are saying that an entry made for this
element is effective for only the current pay period. To make the entry, you set your
effective date to any date in the appropriate pay period.
Any changes you make to individual entries are always corrections. There can be no
history of element entries within a payroll period. However, the entries for each period (if
any) are stored as history for an employee.

Introduction to API.
Application Programming Interface.
To transfer bulk of data.
PL is a sort of procedure. A procedural language is a type of computer programming language
that specifies a series of well-structured steps and procedures within its programming context to
compose a program. It contains a systematic order of statements, functions and commands to
complete a computational task or program.

Introduction to Report.
Extension of report is .rdf
For report builder, PL is used.

Reconciliation.
Where journal debit = journal credit.
XML used for web data.

Self Service.
How to write leave application.
Budget.
 It includes processes and salaries.
 Two types of budgets.
 Revenue. It includes salaries. If not collected, it expires.
 Capital. Minimum amount is set. For example, for office renovation a particular amount
is proposed. That is capital. Or if you have to interior Sindh for office tour, you need a
car. That amount is included in capital.

Business Intelligence.
 Tool of MIS.
 User friendly.
 Configuration same as report.
 Drag and drop
 Easy customizable.
 View on pdf
 Dashboard customizable
 Mainly for reporting
 Live data
 Not form based

PL/SQL:

In Oracle database management, PL/SQL is a procedural language extension to

Structured Query Language (SQL). The purpose of PL/SQL is to combine database
language and procedural programming language.
It is easy way to make and run SQL query and it is connected by database. Write query
and run to fetch the require data.

We have to write query in the SQL window.

Report builder:
Report Builder is a report-authoring tool that's part of the Reporting Services suite of
tools available in SQL Server.. However, Report Builder is a free, stand-alone application
that can be used by SQL Server developers and business users alike to create reports rich
in data visualizations.
I learnt about report builder very first time, it was amazing tool for making the report by
using a query.

 Inventory Out
Inventory process consists of the following steps:
 Issuance of stock items
 Processing return
 Transfer between locations
 Receipt and Dispatch of items
 Every inventory item has associated bin cards which tells about on hand quantity of the
item with date.

Purchase process:
 Procurement f item through normal tender
 Procurement f item through press tender
 Procurement of items through cash
 Procurement f item through repeat order
Order management process:
 Sales of gas meters o SSGC stores for own consumption
 Sales of gas meters to SNGPL
Transmission Network: high pressure lines. Gas field TBS. Town Border Station.
Distribution Network: providing to end users.
Profiting: gas pressure Leakage.
Regulators are used for controlling pressure.
Why do we need stores at different locations?
It depends on frequency of user’s issuance.
In order to perform functions location wise.
Pepra define rules in order to purchase inventory.
Customer Infromation System (CIS)
Customer Infromation System (CIS)
Customer Information System (CIS) is a central repository of time to time customer information
linked to all transaction systems. It is used to track customer information regarding their utility
information and insight about each customer’s individual needs and preferences.
It reduces the costs associated with redundant systems by functioning as a single database,
central point of entry for creation, inquiry and retrieval.
In CIS department, SIR. Syed Sanaullah explained the core functions and advantages of CIS
system in terms of the customer billing and managing customer relationships effectively using
CC&B (Customer Care and Billing).

BILLING CYCLE
BILLING DISTRIBUTION PROCEDURE
Infrastructure:
Infrastructure:
There are three types of drive:
• IDE OR FATA
• SATA
• SSD

SSGC has implemented SATA technology.

Whereas SSD (Solid state Drive) is the future technology.

SATA:
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment, often abbreviated SATA or S-ATA, is a serial link - a
single cable with a minimum of four wires creates a point-to-point connection between devices.
As an evolution of the older Parallel ATA physical storage interface, SATA host-adapters and
devices communicate via a high-speed serial cable.

According to Wikipedia, SATA computer bus, a storage-interface for connecting host bus
adapters (most commonly integrated into laptop computers and desktop motherboards) to mass
storage
devices (such as hard disk drives and optical drives), offers several compelling advantages over
the older parallel ATA/"EIDE" interface: reduced cable-bulk and cost (7 pins vs 40 pins), faster
and more efficient data transfer, and the ability to remove or add devices while operating (hot
swapping).

Advantage
Transfer rates for Serial ATA begin at 150MBps. One of the main design advantages of Serial
ATA is that the thinner serial cables facilitate more efficient airflow inside a form factor and
also allow for smaller chassis designs. In contrast, IDE cables used in parallel ATA systems are
bulkier than Serial ATA cables and can only extend to 40cm long, while Serial ATA cables can
extend up to one meter.
SSD:
A solid-state drive (SSD[1][2][3]) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit
assemblies as memory to store data persistently. SSD technology primarily uses electronic
interfaces compatible with traditional block input/output (I/O) hard disk drives (HDDs), which
permit simple replacements in common applications.[4] New I/O interfaces like SATA
Express and M.2 have been designed to address specific requirements of the SSD technology.

ADVANTAGES OF SSD:
An SSD has access speeds of 35 to 100 micro-seconds, which is nearly 100 times faster. This
faster access speed means programs can run more quickly, which is very significant, especially
for programs that access large amounts of data often like your operating system.

The price of a solid state drive is higher than an HDD, which is why most computers with an
SSD only have a few hundred gigabytes of storage. Desktop computers with an SSD may also
have one or more HDDs for additional storage.

The SSD drive has no moving parts. It uses flash memory to store data, which provides better
performance and reliability over an HDD.

TYPES OF SWITCH:
• Manageable ( assigns 2 networks)
• Non Manageable (assigns 1 network)

TYPES OF CABLES:
• Straight cable
• Cross cable
• Roll over cable

Straight cables are used on different machines e.g PC to Switch.

Cross cables are used on same machines e.g (switch to switch).
Rollover cable (also known as Cisco console cable) is a type of cable that is most
commonly used to connect a computer terminal to a router's console port. So it is said tht when u
connect Pc to a console port of router -> Cross over cable isused
Color coding of STRAIGHT and CROSS cable:

CONCLUSION
In a nutshell, it was great opportunity for me to be the part of IT Department at SSGCL. This
internship has been an excellent and rewarding experience. I can conclude that there have been
a lot I have learnt and hopefully it will be very helpful in future. Not only did I gain practical
skills but I also had the opportunity to meet many professional and experience people.
Overall, my internship has been a success. I was able to gain practical skills, work in a fantastic
environment, and make connections that will last a lifetime. I could not be more thankful.

Recommendations
Internship time period should be six weeks. Internees should be paid stipend equitably. It will be
better for the internees.
