HIT.com: Business Proposal for an Innovative Social Platform

We consider HIT to be a Singapore based social technology company that combines an online portal hub with a social activity network of service providers.

HIT looks to re-ignite the fundamental human connection that is the basis for of society and culture.

We look to target millenials who have been inundated with social media and for whom the Internet has become a basic need. We are creating an ecosystem that is BOTH a platform and a service – where the platform is the online hub on which the user base is created, and the service is where the company’s mission is executed.

Our service innovation is in combining existing technology on both ends (end user and service provider) with a bridge that is not technology based but intentionally human i.e. HIT agents.

Financing is via existing government grants and private funds. Although our mission is socially based, we are conscious of the need for sustainability hence revenue is build into the business model through premium services as well as commissions. Revenue is generated from BOTH the end users as well as service providers of activities.

Team – HIT’s core team is made up of an international diverse team of business school graduates who are both familiar with social media and technology as well as have the global exposure required to understand the intricacies of different cultures and societal impacts.

What can HIT do to help?

What we believe in is that the current generation needs is to bring back the human touch in our social lives – i.e. an increase of human interaction. True connective moments differentiates us. This is where HIT comes in. It is our mission to CONNECT.

With the help of our unique service eco-system, we aim to connect our users on two levels. Firstly, through like-minded activities when they are either in their home community or in a new environment. Secondly, through indirect messaging by choosing to use the human voice to form these connections.

Forecasted Evaluation of ESQ’s AGILE Strategy

ESQ Inc. was performing exceptionally well during FY2010-12 but we had leakages in development life cycles which could be improved upon during to the influx of new and existing clients for our propriety technology.

And so, we focused toward AGILE and it’s SCRUM subsidiary to help us minimize human capital losses as well as fine-tuning our SDLC cycles at the same time.

This project was created to evaluate the alternative as well as better scenarios post-implementation of above mentioned strategy and what I as an MBA graduate would do differently now with the knowledge I have acquired for the past year.

Due to the sensitive nature of the project data, the contents will not be made public but the attached document has been created with mock numbers to understand the evaluation matrix.

Summer Experiential Project: Research and Analysison Cloud Computing on High-Tech Industries

Business Problem:
During the Summer of 2014, I had undertaken a project that researched and analyzed the impact of cloud computing on the high-tech industry.

The scope of the project would focus on enabling current companies who have not yet been exposed to cloud technologies and provide to them a holistic view of the benefits and pitfalls of implementing a cloud-based infrastructure.

The objective of this project was to establish a valid business report that would provide cost-analysis, marketing purview and cloud implementation strategy that may be useful to organizations who are thinking about making the move to a cloud-computing structure.

Some of the key responsibilities that I had been tasked with would be

  • Interview organization heads about their perception on cloud computing.
  • Generate a group discussion on popular online forums such as Yahoo.com
  • Analyzed survey findings on Canadian buyer-seller relationships.

My experience with the Industry Research Project has taught me a great deal about the industry I have targeted for my future. The Cloud-computing industry recently come into the spotlight but while I was working as a Software Engineer for my previous company, I came to realize that we did not fully comprehend how to implement it on a larger scale. After completing my report I can safely say that I have a very good understanding of this industry and I will be able to help small-time industries with the right kind of business strategy for cloud implementation.
