Focuz Infotech (formerly Benz Infotech) is an ever-expanding IT Consultancy Company
promoted by Benz Group, Rs. 2500 million multifaceted corporate focused to Information
Technology.
This project was done for a period of two months. This report includes "Assessment of the
awareness and generating leads", as my main objective was to find the awareness level of the
company’s products and introduce those products to the identified prospects. To accomplish the
objective I undertook actual sales activity also.
In this regard I gathered information about CD Mirror Servers and similar products and the
advantages of using a CD Mirror Server as an investment tool to upgrade the existing
conventional libraries and also digital libraries in the organizations.
The findings from the report were such as lack of awareness about CD Mirror Servers and the
competitive edge of using CD Mirror Server.
It also includes recommendations such as promoting more awareness programs, giving live
demonstrations and enabling prospects to learn more about the company’s products and services.

Techfocuz Backup Solution is a server based software solution that is integrated with
open source Linux platform.
Its remote operation methodology allows the Backup server to poll and synchronize files
to be backed up in a real time environment. The polled files are stored with the
appropriate directory structure and organized according to the pre-determined backup
policy. The system is then capable of handling full or incremental backup as per the
policy specifications. A web interface allows the administrator to manage the backup sets
and perform restoration from anywhere in the network.
Techfocuz Backup solution provides a perfect and sensible alternative to all these issues.
It works on the open source Linux platform eliminating the need for a costlier operating
system. Because of the optimized architecture of Linux it always works lesser resources
such as mediocre hardware configurations.

REMOTE SERVER ADMINISTRATION (LINUX)
Linux being adopted successfully by thousands of companies have a need for Linux
Server administration but cannot justify the high cost of a full-time Linux System
Administrator.
To ensure maximum uptime, you have to proactively monitor your systems around the
clock to detect any anomalies that might indicate an imminent problem. You also have to
do routine upgrades, system tweaking and maintenance. Not every company has the
luxury of IT staff they can dedicate to these tasks. And those that do would prefer to have
their IT professionals doing more productive work like application development.

3. PROJECT SYNOPSIS
Objective
The objective of this project is to
1) Creating awareness about Techfocuz Digital Library (Version 3.01)
2) Generate leads to Focuz Infotech
across different vertical segments like Academic Institutions, Research Organizations,
Health Care and Medicine, and Medias in
the region of North Karnataka covering

Project Methodology
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 20
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION
3.01) IN NORTH KARNATAKA
The project was carried out in exploratory research mode, with both internal as well as
external data sources.
The convenient sample selection was carried out based on availability, proximity, time,
cost of data collection etc.
Both primary as well as secondary data sources were explored and the required inputs
were gathered.
Primary data was collected from a set of chosen prospects by personal interviews and/or
feedback form. The sample size is 15, which include Academic Institutions, Media
Agencies and Health Care & Medicine Canters.
The reason for the sample size being 15 is that, the product Tech Focuz Digital Library
(Version 3.01) itself being one that of a high value. The prospects in all would count to
somewhere around 60. If they are filtered, then the possible prospects selected, keeping
in mind the variables like utility, scalability, funds, etc., the number narrows down.
Hence, a sample size of 15 is fairly representative of the population.
The secondary data was basically collected from the available newspapers and trade
magazines and the information highway i.e., Intranet and Internet websites.
Project Shortcomings:
Since, I was supposed to be giving presentations about the product, it would have
helped in giving a much more better picture of the product if I would have been
provided with a live demo of the product. This would have made my training
experience more sound one.
Inhibitions of a few respondents to provide certain information like availability
of their funds, etc.

4. OVERVIEW OF CD/MIRROR SERVERS.
This section captures the relevant information from a basic understanding point of view
required to carry out this research. This information is provided in a lucid Question and
Answer form, which also answers the queries of the prospects.
4.1 What is a CD/DVD Server?
A CD and/or DVD Server are a specially designed device to share information stored on
CD-ROMs or DVD-ROMs with others in your organization. These devices connect
directly to your network saving the cost of a separate server and network software
license. Each unit comes with software to facilitate adding, replacing, updating,
managing and deleting titles easily. The software copies the disc to the hard drive as a
disc image for storage. The original CD or DVD can be put in a safe place. The hard
drive storage not only provides capacity for many more discs (current models range into
the thousands of CDs), but also delivers faster retrieval and better support for multiple
users. The cost per disc of these caching (hard drive) devices is considerably lower than
with a tower.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 27
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION
3.01) IN NORTH KARNATAKA
4.2 How does a CD/DVD Server differ from a tower?
We refer to a Tower as a device that has only optical reader drives (CD-ROM and/or
DVD-ROM), with no hard drive. These non-caching systems have as much capacity as
the unit has drives. So a unit with seven CD-ROM readers in it would be capable of
putting seven discs online at one time. A benefit of towers is to update a disc; you merely
open the drive and swap the new disk for the old one.
4.3 Why to buy a CD/DVD Server or Tower?
Everyone's situation is slightly different, but in general, you can expect to reap the
following benefits by using either a CD/DVD Server or Tower:
Eliminate the time and frustration spent searching for lost or borrowed CD/DVDs
Eliminate the cost and time spent to replace damaged or lost CD/DVDs
By their nature, Servers back-up your CD/DVDs
Put all your CD/DVDs online at once, rather than having to swap CD/DVDs in
and out
Multiple users can access multiple CD/DVDs simultaneously - no waiting
Have the information available wherever you are - another desk, another floor,
another building, another city, another country
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 28
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION
3.01) IN NORTH KARNATAKA
Centralize the management and control of your valuable software/data
Maximize your investment in the software and data stored on those titles by
making it easily available to those who need it when they need it
It is easy and cost effective
4.4 Why not just copy the CD/DVDs to a file server?
The most compelling reasons for storing your CD images on a CD server vs. copying
them to your file server are:
1) Saving Money and Getting More Value from existing Production Servers. For
customers in an enterprise using high-end servers with RAID arrays, it makes sense to
move seldom-used data to a CD server. That frees up valuable space on their production
servers, keeps the data online and potentially provides a CD based backup for off site
storage.
Enterprises have found that dedicating application-specific storage resources ensures that
they will maximize the ROI of their storage expenditures. In addition, when a file server
is used for multiple tasks, an increase in data requests to one application may greatly
impact the performance of all other applications hosted on the server. That's why only the
smallest organizations can afford to make the performance trade-off involved with
running multiple services on their servers.
2) Saving Money and Getting More Value from the IT staff. On a general purpose
(NT/2000/OS X/Netware) file server, an administrator must take the following steps to
make a CD available:
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 29
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION
3.01) IN NORTH KARNATAKA
1. Find a location on the server where there is space to store CD data
2. Sit at the server and insert the CD to a file server
3. Open the CD
4. Select the contents of the CD
5. Drag the contents of the CD to the appropriate location on the server
6. Wait or pass the time doing something else
7. Walk up to the monitor to see if the copy has completed (repeat steps 6 and 7
as needed)
8. Create a share for the CD contents
9. Assign permissions to that share
10. Eject CD
There's nothing difficult about any of the above steps, but repeat it 20, 30 or 100 times and
you have just lost a member of the IT staff to CD management. Now compare that to:
1. Go to the CD/DVD server and insert the CD in its reader, or insert it into your PC if
loading remotely
2. Wait or pass the time doing something else
3. Look to see if the copy has completed and CD has been ejected (repeat steps 6 and 7
as needed)
If you have to replace a CD in a set, that also entails repeating most of the steps in the first
example. But with the CD server, you just instruct the server to replace the old CD with the
new CD as it loads.
If you want to create multiple CD groupings or sets, that is easy to do on the CD server and
harder to maintain on the file server. It gets even more complex if the same CD needs to go
into two different groupings. In a CD server, the same disc can exist in multiple shares
without any duplication.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 30
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION

Copying CDs to the file server and creating shares, etc. needs to be overseen by an IT-savvy
person with admin rights to the file server. Copying CDs to a server can be accomplished by
end-users who can have the unit sitting next to their desks.
Mirroring CDs to the CD server saves management headaches because it preserves the
structure and integrity of the CD data. The file structure created by the CD publisher is
maintained and you know you have the whole CD You have the option of sharing the CD as
part of a group, or singly.
CD Emulation: The fact that just creating images doesn't solve the problem of CDs those
want to be in the local drive. Most software doesn't care if it is run from a CD, a network
share, a hard drive or even a USB flash drive. The exceptions to this rule are usually PC-
based education and game CDs. To overcome these limitations, a Windows utility is provided
that allows a networked CD to emulate a local, physical CD-ROM drive to the operating
system and applications. This CD emulation feature is the only viable solution for sharing
discs that require being in a local reader to run.
4.5 What if there are licensing restrictions on sharing the information on CDs?
There are various types of licensing restrictions in use. Administrative tools are provided
to control access or limit the number of simultaneous accesses, making it straightforward
to comply with the terms of the license.
Some discs, such as "Hollywood" Movie DVDs, are usually encrypted to limit copying or
sharing. These discs cannot be loaded into a Server.
4.6 How do your CD/DVD Servers differ from Jukeboxes?
Essentially, CD/DVD servers are Virtual Jukeboxes. They perform the same function as a
CD/DVD Jukebox, but with higher performance and more capacity.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 31
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION
3.01) IN NORTH KARNATAKA
A jukebox holds many CDs in a tray, or carousel. When a CD is requested, a robotic
mechanism physically locates the disc and mechanically loads it into an optical reader.
This process requires great precision and repeated maintenance sometimes giving
jukeboxes the reputation of being slow and unreliable.
In contrast, a CD/DVD Server makes an exact image copy of each CD or DVD and stores
it on its hard disk. Current hard drive technology provides unparalleled speed and
reliability. Combined with redundancy features such as RAID or mirroring, no other
storage technology is as effective a means of providing rapid network access to data.
Differences Between CD/DVD Servers and Jukeboxes:
Capacity: Even though a jukebox can hold quite a few CDs, their capacity is
small relative to what a large CD/DVD server can hold. (Hundreds vs. thousands)
Access Speed: Accessing data from the server's hard drive can be up to ten times
faster than from an optical drive. Add to that slow optical drive access the
lengthy time it takes a jukebox to load the CD into a reader and the server user
might be done with his tasks by the time a jukebox user is getting his data!
Simultaneous Users: Multiple users accessing the same CDs will find response
time much faster with the server.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 32

Multiple CD/DVD Access: With its one or perhaps two optical readers, the
jukebox will only allow that many titles to be viewed at one time. Whereas in the
server, a single user or multiple users can access multiple titles simultaneously
Reliability: CD Servers have fewer mechanical parts and are very reliable
Cost: CD Servers deliver superior value to the jukebox.

services and identify, evaluate and choose among alternatives.
Typical characteristics in organizational buying can be observed which are several
buying influences and multiple sales calls. Many people typically influence
business-buying decisions. Buying committee consists of technical experts and even
senior management is common in the purchase of major goods. Since, more people
are involved in the selling process, it takes multiple calls to win most business orders.
We can also study the buying behaviors of these organizations by looking at the below

Techfocuz Digital Library (Version 3.01) is a high value product and such kinds of
products are procured infrequently. There would be a high – involvement of the buyer
(i.e., the organization) and would have a tendency to think about the purchase being a
risky one.
These factors should be under scrutiny by the marketers.

5.6.1 Tech Focuz Digital Library (Version 3.01) Overview
Techfocuz Digital Library (Version 3.01) is different from a conventional file server
because, while a regular file server might contain the contents of a number of CD-ROMs,
the CD Server contains an ISO 9660,UDF, VCD, DVD, Audio CD, Multi - session CD,
Bootable CDs, Software CDs, magazine CDs, image of the CD-ROMs. When we’re
done, it will serve both the images and the contents of the images efficiently {on a file-
by-file basis} at the same time. Additionally, the original CD-ROM disks can be stored
away where they wont get lost. Where as traditional CD servers are limited by the
amount of CD-ROM drives they contain. Hard drives are an order of magnitude cheaper
than CD-ROM towers, and they scale better. One 40GB hard drive occupies one spot on
an IDE or SCSI controller. It can contain the equivalent of 87 full-sized CD-ROMs (at
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 39
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION

practical impossibility.

6. ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
The data collected from the feedback is shown in the appendices. Below is the
analysis of the data:
Question 1:
Findings:
From the feedback, we can make out that only 13% of the respondents have an exposure to
CD/DVD Mirror Servers. This is a very meager number. This shows that the package would
be a new kind of a product to the prospects.
Recommendations:
The prospects should be supplied with enough information to enlighten them about the
CD/DVD Mirror servers.
This can be done by supplying the prospects, either through e - mail or through snail mail,
some literature about CD/DVD Mirror Servers.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 44
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION

Question 2:
Findings:
From the feedback obtained, it is observed that only 7% of the respondents have actually used
such kind of a system within their organization. So, again the non – availability of the
information of such kind of systems can be accounted for such low usage.
Recommendations:
Again, disseminating information showcasing the advantages of CD/DVD Mirror Servers
would play a major role to promote the usage of such kind of CD/DVD Mirrors.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 45
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION

Question 3
Findings:
Only 27% of the respondents have an idea about Techfocuz Digital Library before this
feedback was taken. Contrast this with the knowledge about CD/DVD Mirror servers and this
number appears large. This goes on to prove that even though some respondents have heard
about Techfocuz Digital Library, they do not know what it is all about.
Recommendations:
Creating awareness about CD/DVD Mirrors alone would not suffice the requirements, but
also creating awareness that Techfocuz Digital Library is a CD/DVD Mirror Server with
extra features that makes it a unique solution to the prospects requirements is the need of the
hour.

Question 4
Findings:
The findings show that the number of organizations having digitalized library and the number
of organizations running conventional libraries is almost even – stevens. But the thing to be
noted is that the trend’s shifting gradually and these numbers would change since, many
organizations are gearing themselves for a modern digitalized library.
Recommendations:
The organizations running conventional libraries should not be neglected, given they have
sufficient funds with them, and should also be targeted as likely prospects.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 47
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION

Question 5
Findings:The findings show that nearly the entire population got a clear idea about what Techfocuz Digital Library is all about after the presentation that was made to them highlighting the advantages of owning a CD/DVD Mirror Server in the organization.
Recommendations:
Promoting more awareness programs would definitely generate more leads to Focuz Infotech,
which can be successfully converted, into sales.

Question 6
Findings:87% of the respondents were convinced about the superiority that Techfocuz Digital Library
has over other similar products.
Recommendations:
Once a prospect is convinced about the product it should not be taken as a green signal for
making a sale. The prospects issues about making purchases like financial aspects, technical
requirements, etc., should also be looked into so that the prospect gets more involved with the
sales force and hopefully should procure the product.

Question 7
Findings:Almost all the respondents were satisfied with the presentation they had been subjected to and did not have much queries. Most of the queries posed were technical and financial and were forwarded to the company to help out the prospect with their queries.
Recommendations:
Even though only few respondents had queries, thinking that they are now well versed with the product would be a folly. It should be tried to make out what kind of data the prospect should be provided with, so that it would make him completely aware about the product.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 50

Question 8
Findings:
All the respondents were satisfied with information provided to them about Focuz
Infotech. It was observed that they were eager to know the background of the company
and what are its prime business areas.
Recommendations:
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 51
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION
3.01) IN NORTH KARNATAKA
The prospects should be frequently enlightened about the happenings in the company and
new product releases if any to keep their interest alive about the company.
Question 9
Findings:
The findings show that all the respondents found the presentation to be informative. This
shows that there is a hunger among organizations to know more, and this fact should be
considered to help refine promotion strategies.
Recommendations:
The prospects should be updated frequently by providing knowledge that would relate
this product and ultimately provide him with a cue to go for the product.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 52
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION

Question 10
Findings:The findings again show that organizations do keep a lookout for solutions that would
meet their needs.
Recommendations:
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 53
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION
3.01) IN NORTH KARNATAKA
The prospects should also be provided with the information about the companies’ other
products, which may sometimes be what they were actually seeking for. This would open
an avenue to prove the reliability of the parent company and may ultimately help in
building the brand image of the company.
Question 11
Findings:
We can observe that it is split opinion when asked for a demo. When tried to get the reason
for not opting for a demo, it was found that most respondents would wait for the permission
from the higher authorities before requesting the company for a demo.
Recommendation:
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 54
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION
3.01) IN NORTH KARNATAKA
The company should make it a point to contact the higher authorities once they get the lead
so that they can provide the organization with a demo which would help them big time in
creating a positive impression.
Question 12
Findings:
The findings show that more than half of the respondents would like to get more
information from the company’s executives. The respondents were interested in getting
the hardware configurations details and cost details.
Recommendations:
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 55
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION
3.01) IN NORTH KARNATAKA
The respondents interested in getting more information should be immediately attended
by the company’s executives to help clear their doubts. This would also make the
respondents to get a feel about the company’s promptness in attending to problems
thereby enhancing the company’s reputation.
Question 13
Findings:
Almost all the respondents were interested in receiving more information by either e –
mail or post. This shows that the respondents wanted to know more and wanted to have
documented literature.
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 56
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION
3.01) IN NORTH KARNATAKA
Recommendations:
The respondents should be provided with the literature that should go on to suffice their
requirements. Only providing information by e – mail/post would not be recommended.
They should also be followed by telephonic calls, to incorporate that vital human touch
experience.
Question 14
Findings:
The findings show that only a meager 7% of the population agreed to procure this
product. It was not that the product failed to create an impression on the respondents, but
Babasabpatilfreepptmba.com Page 57
ASSESMENT OF THE AWARENESS, POTENTIAL AND LEADS GENERATION FOR TECHFOCUZ DIGITAL LIBRARY (VERSION
3.01) IN NORTH KARNATAKA
it was the fact that many people would be involved in making the purchase decision,
which made the respondents feel that it is too early to give a positive response.
Recommendations:
Since many people would be involved in making the purchase decision, the company
should be on the lookout to know about which all persons would be the prime influencers
and find means to communicate to these people the prowess of the product. Possible
means would be conducting awareness programs, giving presentations, inviting for a
demo, etc.
7. RECOMMENDATIONS:
I. The prospects should be supplied with enough information to enlighten them about
the CD/DVD Mirror servers and their advantages over conventional CD Towers to
promote their usage. This can be done by supplying the prospects, either through e -
mail or through snail mail, the literature about CD/DVD Mirror Servers.
II. Creating awareness about CD/DVD Mirrors alone would not suffice the
requirements, but also creating awareness that Techfocuz Digital Library is a
CD/DVD Mirror Server with extra features that makes it a unique solution to the
prospects requirements is the need of the hour.
III. Many organizations running conventional libraries are moving towards a modern
digitalized library. Hence, organizations running conventional libraries with good
funds reserve should also be targeted.
IV. The respondents interested in getting more information should be immediately
attended by the company’s executives to help clear their doubts. This would also
make the respondents to get a feel about the company’s promptness in attending to
problems thereby enhancing the company’s reputation.
