    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    As an MBA Marketing candidate doing Project in a software company is one of the grand and

    glorious opportunities in this wosrld of information technology where information technology is

    spreading its wings by the nooks and corner not only in our country but also in the whole world

    which makes the daily life of man and machine more efficient, accurate, easy and highly

    productive.

    Stepping in an IT Industry with a software company Microlucid Technology Pvt Ltd. Pune, and

    dealing software and website and web application directly to the corporate world was a great

    opportunity for me, where I learned the actual working of a software company. Which provided

    me a beautiful biennial experience which ultimately going to help me in my future professional

    career

    I was located for the Pune region with the entire business responsibility as a Marketing

    Relationship Officer dealing with the product from Two Thousand to Five Lakes Products range

    after the training and under the guidance of company Manager. I was responsible from initiating

    any business call and making follow up till the end to closing the deal and till the product and

    services are to be delivered to the customer.

    This project was totally based on customer oriented job which enabled me to make a direct call

    and generate leads, some time to do telecalling for taking appointment and to meet with customer

    and pitching them the product as per their requirement and persuade them at the level to buy the

    same.

    In this summer project I had to study customers decisions for the particular deal and their

    response for the product. How to convince the customer, how they react when they come to

    know about how they can increase their business by using MEGAKHOJ WEBSITE and

    SOFTWARE. What they feel when they heard price and how they negotiate for that particular

    deal.

    REASON FOR SELECTING THE TOPIC

    "Selling of Web Site server space and customized software to customers. Understanding the

    sales system of an organization helps in taking further steps in terms of market orientation and

    objection handling. These issues help us adapt our strategies by taking the consumer into

    consideration. For example, by understanding that a number of different messages compete for

    our potential customers attention, we learn that to be effective, advertisements must usually be

    repeated extensively. We also learn that consumers will sometimes be persuaded more by logical

    arguments, but at other times will be persuaded more by emotional or symbolic appeals. By

    understanding the consumer, we will be able to make a more informed decision as to which

    strategy to employ.

    While doing my training in MICROLUCID TEC. PVT. LTD. I found that its not only the

    Quality and Price but there are various other aspects also which affect customer purchasing

    decision. Such as marketing segmentation, targeted customers, provision for services etc.

    BEST PRACTICE

    9) Choose Appropriate Development Process

    It is important to choose the appropriate development lifecycle process to the project at

    hand because all other activities are derived from the process. Each of the available

    methodologies is best suited to specific kinds of projects, based on various technical,

    organizational, project and team considerations. Microlucid always consider each of the

    major prescribed methodologies in context with business, applications, organization, and

    technical environments.

    10) Requirement Gathering

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL Report Uy

    21/45

    Requirement gathering is an essential part of any project and project management.

    Understanding fully what a project will deliver is critical to its success. This may sound

    like common sense but surprisingly it's an area that is often given far too little attention.

    Gathering and agreeing on requirements is fundamental to a successful project. Quality

    requirements are broken up into two kinds: functional and non-functional. A good way to

    document functional requirements is using Use Cases. Note that Use Cases are used for

    non-OO projects. Non-functional requirements describe the performance and system

    characteristics of the application. It is important to gather them because they have a major

    impact on the application architecture, design, and performance.

    11) Change Management

    Change happens. The problem is managing that change successfully in an ever-

    increasingly complex environment, especially when theres a geographically distributed

    team handling high volumes of digital assets and activity requests coming from multiple

    stakeholders.

    Software Change Management solution allows development organizations to control,

    communicate and respond more effectively to rapidly changing business demands.

    Furthermore, these integrated configuration and change management capabilities can be

    easily expanded across all phases of the application development lifecycle, including IT

    project and portfolio management, requirements definition & management (RDM),

    analysis and design, and testing and ASQ. The result is better visibility, increased

    responsiveness, greater predictability and improved software applications and systems.

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL Report Uy

    22/45

    12) System Architecture Design

    Choosing the appropriate architecture for your application is key. Mostly all the troubled

    projects have incorporated bad designs and the development team did not apply well-known

    industry architecture best practices. A good way to avoid this type of problem is to use

    patterns and they range from the classic Gang of Four patterns, Java patterns, to EJB design

    patterns. Sun's equivalent is the Core J2EE Patterns catalog. Many projects fail as discussed

    in the introduction. The study of these failures has given rise to the concept of ant patterns.

    They are valuable because they provide useful knowledge of what does not work, and why.

    13) Application Design

    Even with a good architecture it is still possible to have a bad design. Many applications

    are either over-designed or under-designed. The two basic principles here are "Keep it

    Simple" and information hiding. For many projects, it is important to perform Object-

    Oriented Analysis and Design using UML. There are many books on UML, but we

    recommend UML User Guide and Applying UML and Patterns. Reuse is one of the great

    promises of OO, but it is often unrealized because of the additional effort required to

    create reusable assets. Code reuse is but one form of reuse and there are other kinds of

    reuse that can provide better productivity gains.

    14) Data Architecture Design

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL Report Uy

    23/45

    Data Architecture Design includes storage, accumulation, retention, archival,

    maintenance, and transfer of data within the system and between various systems within

    or outside the organization.

    This requires ensuring that data elements, reflecting the enterprises' functional and

    technical vocabulary, are organized into a standardized data dictionary that

    accommodates the breadth of business activities performed. The team evaluates the type

    of data stored to determine commonality, uniqueness, redundancy and efficiency and

    provides an assessment that lays the foundation for an enterprise data architecture, which

    supports the application development efforts and streamlines the design process.

    15) Writing Quality code

    Ensure quality from the start. Quality is not something that can be easily added later.

    Problems that are too complex, too obscure, or are discovered too late in the product

    cycle are usually not fixed. The following topics describe principles and procedures for

    improving code quality.

    16) Peer reviews

    It is important to review other people's work. Code review is systematic examination

    (often as peer review) of computer source code intended to find and fix mistakes

    overlooked in the initial development phase, improving both the overall quality of

    software and the developers' skills. Experience has shown that problems are eliminated

    earlier this way and reviews are even more effective than testing. Any artifact from the

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL Report Uy

    24/45

    development process is reviewed, including plans, requirements, architecture, design,

    code, and test cases. Peer reviews are helpful in trying to produce software quality at top

    speed.

    17) Data migration

    Most applications are enhancements of existing applications and migration of data has

    lots of complexity involved. Data migration is necessary when a company upgrades its

    database or system software, either from one version to another or from one program to

    an entirely different program. Data migration from the existing data sources is usually a

    major project by itself. Data migration has lots complexity and it always require a set of

    in-depth experience to perform migration. The migration becomes complex as the new

    application has better business rules and expects higher quality data. Improving of data

    quality becomes challenging without compromising the actual contents. Data migration

    typically has four phases: analysis of source data, extraction and transformation of data,

    validation and repair of data, and use of data in the new program.

    18) Quality & Testing

    Testing is not an afterthought or cutback when the schedule gets tight. It is an integral

    part of software development that needs to be planned. It is also important that testing is

    done proactively; meaning that test cases are planned before coding starts, and test cases

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL Report Uy

    25/45

    are developed while the application is being designed and coded. There are also a number

    of testing patterns that have been developed.

    19) Defects management

    Software defects are expensive. Moreover, the cost of finding and correcting defects

    represents one of the most expensive software development activities. For the foreseeable

    future, it will not be possible to eliminate defects. While defects may be inevitable, we

    can minimize their number and impact on our projects. To do this development teams

    need to implement a defect management process that focuses on preventing defects,

    catching defects as early in the process as possible, and minimizing the impact of defects.

    A little investment in this process can yield significant returns.

    20) Configuration management

    Configuration management (CM) is the detailed recording and updating of information

    that describes an enterprise's computer systems and networks, including all hardware and

    software components. Such information typically includes the versions and updates that

    have been applied to installed software packages and the locations and network addresses

    of hardware devices. Special configuration management software is available. When a

    system needs hardware or software upgrade, a computer technician can accesses the

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL Report Uy

    26/45

    configuration management program and database to see what is currently installed. The

    technician can then make a more informed decision about the upgrade needed.

    An advantage of a configuration management application is that the entire collection of

    systems can be reviewed to make sure any changes made to one system do not adversely

    affect any of the other systems.

    21) Deployment

    Deployment process consists of several interrelated activities with possible transitions

    between them. Installing, setting up, testing and running are the steps of deployment.

    22) Maintenance and Support

    Application Maintenance and Support has become the backbone of the business as any

    problem into running application directly affect the revenue and divert the business to the

    competitor. For a successful business, you must give importance to proper maintenance

    and support to the application.

    23) Project management

    An effective project management is very important for a successful project. Project

    management is the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring

    about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. Project

  • 8/8/2019 FINAL Report Uy

    27/45

    management is a carefully planned and organized effort to accomplish a specific set of

    tasks. Project management includes developing a project plan, which includes defining

    and confirming the project goals and objectives, identifying tasks and how goals will be

    achieved, quantifying the resources needed, and determining budgets and timelines for

    completion.

    24) Project Evaluation

    Project Evaluation is a step-by-step process for objectively assessing the success of the

    project by collecting, recording and organizing information about project results,

    including short-term outputs (immediate results of activities, or project deliverables), and

    immediate and longer-term project outcomes (changes in behavior, practice or policy

    resulting from the project).

    A project evaluation checklist helps you evaluate your planned IT project objectively and

    realistically against known project management concepts and standards. Particular

    emphasis is put upon the project's alignment to business direction and priorities,

    accountability, joint work with other departments, sharing resources, working according

    to project management and corporate disciplines and risk management.
