IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ON EQUIPMENT.

POWER REQUIREMENT OF THE INFOTHELA WOULD CHANGE ONCE THE DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT IS PURCHASED.

FOR MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATIONS,GRAPHICS AND ANIMATIONS TAKE TOO MUCH TIME TO DEVELOP ANDWITH THE LIMITED MANPOWER AVAILABLE IT IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO MEET SCHEDULES.

WE NEED TO CREATE A SMALL FACILITY OF OUR OWN.
