The company had these much drawbacks in their infrastructure. • After observing these things and negotiating with the company owner, we concluded to make a forum based commercial community. • They mentioned some of their requirements for the commercial community. • Following is the list of features to be included in the forum based commercial community.

Purpose of the project :- • The main purpose of this project is to enhance the current capabilities of the organization. • There is a need to attract more clients and users across its portals to meet the new demand of the market. • The innovative solution in enhancing the capabilities ended up as a proposal of integrating a “Knowledge-base portal” into the existing company portal to increase quality traffic. • The other purpose is to build a commercial network that will act as the communication medium for the company heads, employees and clients.
The other purpose is to create a forum in the commercial community. • This forum will allow the members of the community to ask the questions and the company experts will answer the questions. • Next is to reduce the paper work and head-to-head approach to any employee. Instead, the necessary information or instructions can be passed via this community. • Further, the articles can be shared by the authorized persons and reviewed by the members.
Scope of the Project :- • This system is designed to maximize the Administrator’s productivity by providing tools to assist in automating the article review and publishing process, which would otherwise have to be performed manually. • More specifically, this system is designed to allow an Administrator to manage and communicate with a group of reviewers and authors to publish articles to a website. • The Community will facilitate communication between authors, reviewers, and the Administrator via System or E-mail. • This community is applicable only for PHP web-sites. • This commercial community can be integrated with the web-sites, developed in PHP.
Technologies :- • Front-end :- • As company’s web-site is in PHP, we’ll develop forum-based community in PHP. • The reason for this is : we can integrate our community with the company’s web-site.
Back-end :- • MySQL database is compatible with PHP. • So we’ve decided to use MySQL as back-end.

After negotiating with Mr. SaralDoshi, Owner, Kevalam Software, Rajkot, we came to know that they’re already having a spare domain and he allowed us to use that domain for hosting our system. Hence, our system is economically feasible.
Feasibility Study Contd.. • Technical feasibility: • The system under consideration requires only 3 people to work with the system. • The company is already having sufficient numbers of desktops and laptops.
