TSPDL Gyan Manch

Tata Steel Processing and Distribution Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Steel, has seen phenomenal growth through rapid identification and tracking of new technologies in its manufacturing operations and also in its internal systems. The Company believes that mature IT systems incorporated into processes have a great impact on the performance of employees and to that end has developed sophisticated modules for their benefit.

Requirement

TSPDL needed a solution that would be an effective means of carrying forward the culture of continuous learning for all employees. The organisation’s existing framework of personal and professional improvement is supported by a number of focused programmes for employee benefits. Therefore developing a useful online module that would act as a functional knowledge repository was essential to complement the other ongoing initiatives.

Solution

The software module developed by Allindia Technologies for TSPDL is aptly called ‘Gyan Manch’ as it is in effect a holistic knowledge-sharing platform aimed at building intellectual capital for employees. There are four separate components to this module for four different user categories, closely integrated to meet learning needs in specific areas like Operations, Marketing, HR, Technology, Ethics and many more. ‘Gyan Manch’ also has provision for system generated automated mailers.

The four user groups that the specific modules (accessible after logging in with a unique ID and password) cater to are Super Administrator (Admin module), Gyan Acharya (Functional Expert’s module), Community Convenor and Common Employees. These are integrated in www.tspdlgyanmanch.com, the homepage to which is a login section with provision for new member registration.

The super administrative user of Gyan Manch would have the rights to manage entries like Community and Employee along with approval of employee registration, manage documents etc. He would also be able to view all related reports and documents. Similarly, ‘Gyan Acharya’ will be able to modify, publish and rate documents.

Other modules such as ‘The Community Convenor’ and ‘The Employees’ of TSPDL will be able to manage their own functions.

Tata Power Customer Portal

Tata Power is recognised as India’s largest private sector power utility provider, with a reputation for trustworthiness, built up over nearly nine decades. Led by a powerful vision, the Company pioneered the generation of electricity in India; it surges ahead with plans of sustained growth, greater value to consumers and reliable power supply.

In order to extend impeccable service and benefits to its customers that exceed their expectation, Tata Power has developed an exclusive portal for its existing and potential customers (https://cp.tatapower.com/CP_REVAMP/save-energy/contribute.aspx). The portal attempts to reach out to all Tata Power customers who will find it convenient to seek information and do meaningful transactions. The design and content of this portal has been done keeping customers’ convenience and needs in mind.

The Approach & Solution

The portal’s communication approach is that of bringing out the voice of Tata Power Customer Support people, who prompt customers to learn about the various services that are being offered on the web. The portal offers services and facilities such as online payment systems, SMS alert for bill date and payment, know bill and receive e bill. The portal is very contemporary in its approach – both aesthetically and vis-à-vis the facilities offered.

Allindia Technologies started revamping the portal with a fresh outlook in mind – a dynamic site that would facilitate the customer to avail of several services as offered by the Company and would also encourage him use the site to reach out to customer service personnel.

Apart from availing regular information about the Company and other facilities, a Tata Power customer would first need to log in to access and avail of e-services such as SMS alert and email alert. Significant is the way in which a customer can participate in a discussion forum about electricity problems, methods of saving energy and also view contribution from others. It is a completely moderated section from the Company’s end.

The FAQ and Knowledge Centre sections have been made especially interesting with rich and interesting graphics, where Mr. Enerji, the mascot features and answers power related questions posted by customers.

The portal is interactive and customer friendly in all its offerings. One can pay bills online and search for billing centers throughout Mumbai through a comprehensive Google map where over 200 locations have been plotted. One can even choose his mode of payment using facilities provided on the portal – whether the payment would be made electronically or through other modes.

Tata Power Customer Portal offers all conveniences that a customer may seek in order to avail of services easily and be more than satisfied.

Institute of Technology and Marine Engineering

Institute of Technology and Marine Engineering (ITME) is an Ambuja Neotia initiative in the field of technological education. Its goal is to emerge as a 'Centre of Excellence' in the future and it represents the Group’s strong sense of social commitment. ITME is not a part of Ambuja Neotia Group’s dedicated CSR programme but nonetheless, as a non-profit venture, it reflects the same commitment to quality in work and spirit.

Purpose

Though the Institute had started its journey eight years earlier, it has achieved a significant positive transition after having come under the Neotia foundation in 2008. It is today counted amongst the leading private engineering colleges in the region. The existing site for the Institute was just a basic information portal and did not match its enhanced image in any way. Therefore, it was absolutely imperative to develop a new web presence for ITME that would be commensurate with its stature of being an Ambuja Neotia initiative.

Solution

Allindia Technologies developed a website for ITME that is specifically designed to address the information needs for prospective and existing students, parents and recruiting corporate houses as well. The layout has used a palette of blue and green to highlight the expansiveness of the campus. Institute snapshots have been utilised judiciously throughout the site in flash animations, separately for each section.

The Navigation is simple and user-friendly. In addition to the main menu, the left panel lists the section specific links for browsing convenience. Apart from all the important features required in an academic website, a special element is the campus map of ITME that allows visitors to embark on a virtual tour of the campus. The content has been developed to incorporate all relevant information on the Institute with provision for updating announcements and current news.

The Ffort, Raichak

The Ffort Raichak is a unique vision in many ways. A landmark resort developed by Ambuja Realty on the bank of the Ganges, it is constructed on an old fort theme, aesthetically blending in diverse periods of architecture. Subsequently, Raichak-on-Ganges has become a hotspot for elite tourism in West Bengal with other Ambuja Realty endeavours in the hospitality segment. The Ffort Raichak nonetheless, enjoys the honour of heralding in the first waves of change.

Purpose

The revamp of The Ffort Raichak website was imperative following the many changes that it has seen in recent times. Infrastructure and facilities enhancements, concepts makeover, new ideas integration – all combined to arrive at what in essence was a re-branding exercise. Added to these was the focus on Raichak-on-Ganges as the most happening leisure getaway near Kolkata. The existing website clearly did not do justice to either the reputation of The Ffort or its aesthetic appeal and therefore, a fresh web presence was imminently desired.

Solution Offered

The new website developed by Allindia Technologies for The Ffort Raichak (www.ffort.com) lives up to the beauty of the resort through a design that conveys a sense of the lush surroundings. Aiming to highlight the indulgences that the place offers, the homepage flash presents some of the most breathtaking views of the property. It also has a collection of ‘Ffort Experience’ from celebrated guests that keep changing on every refresh.

The navigation is basic and has a single level where all the main sections are available. It is interesting to browse through the content and communication as it has been prepared to translate the romanticism of the place in writing. A simple ballad narrates the early story of the fort. The picture gallery has been thoughtfully chosen and has two sections. One includes the most captivating sights of The Ffort Raichak and is a sheer delight for visitors. The other section records the visit of famous visitors and gala events. The website provides adequate information on all its facilities and other significant details. Relevant links to other Ambuja Realty Group websites are provided on The Ffort Raichak homepage.

Tata Steel - Odisha Microsite

Tata Steel’s partnership with the state of Orissa started more than a century ago and since then, the chronicle of growth and development has unfurled in manifold directions. The Company’s involvement in the overall development of Orissa takes into consideration every aspect of progress and it is committed to establishing the State as one of the most advanced in the Country.

Purpose

While Tata Steel’s revamped corporate website has a comprehensive section on its Indian operations and projects, the Company felt the need to have an exclusive microsite that would focus on its ever-evolving relationship with Orissa in a more detailed manner. Apart from the existing operations, a number of upcoming projects in the State are moving ahead steadily. It was thus essential to have appropriate and dependable online communication to convey the extent and scope of the positive impact produced by Tata Steel’s committed improvement endeavours in every direction.

Solution

Allindia Technologies has developed a microsite (http://odisha.tatasteel.com/) that is neat and engaging in both design and content. Suitably called ‘Odisha & Tata Steel’, it has an apt tagline – together for growth - that captures the thrust of the entire communication.  

One of the finest features in the microsite is the interactive homepage flash that presents capsules of some of the main areas of focus, fittingly illustrated. It also has links to the latest happenings and projects along with a number of testimonials from the people of Orissa. The navigation is simple and all the sections are available from the main menu with subsections presented in a simple dropdown format.

The content for the microsite has been judiciously managed with relevant case studies highlighted where necessary, along with supporting pictures. The information is comprehensive and adequately cross-linked with related matter within the microsite and externally with Tata Steel's corporate website and other microsites as well.

Visa Steel

VISA Steel Limited is a part of VISA Group, a minerals and metals conglomerate with business interests in Steel, Power, Mining, International Trading, Shipping and Logistics and a strong global presence in countries including India, China, Australia, Indonesia, South Africa and Singapore.

Purpose

With the Company poised to embark on one of its most significant and exciting phases of growth and expansion, the express need of revamping its website was strongly felt. As VISA Steel is expanding its capacities across the Country and coming up with new projects and JVs with global partners, it followed that it also needed to have a fresh and dynamic presence on the web, redefined both in terms of information and display. The new website for VISA Steel thus would convey both its traditional values and its vision into the future.

Solution

Allindia Technologies developed a smart and effective website for VISA Steel (www.visasteel.com) that is professional in look and feel and at the same time commensurate with the Company’s emerging identity of leadership. The homepage flash is interactive and characterised by artistically presented images of VISA Steel’s different products and processes with a brief outline that leads to the corresponding section. The website has made judicious use of the Company’s corporate colour.

The navigation is uncomplicated and all information is categorised under links in the main level itself with dropdown menus appearing where necessary. Some of the content involves highly technical matter and thus special care has been taken to incorporate relevant images that are suitably explanatory.

A special feature in the VISA Steel new website is the network map that provides a virtual tour of the Company’s operations in India along with specific icons for different facilities and contact addresses that appear in separate pop-ups. The site also has a selection of pertinent and useful downloads and a dynamic query form to address questions and feedback from visitors.

BIT Mesra

Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra – one of the premier engineering and technical institutes in India has been engaged in nurturing young minds through a rich heritage of academic excellence for the last five decades. Allindia Technologies has helped the Institute to launch its new website www.bitmesra.ac.in along with microsites for its seven campuses spread across the country. The client brief included the requirement of a completely new communication and design for the main site (BIT Mesra), which would be carried on to the designs for the microsites as well.

Requirements & Challenges

A complete turn around from what it was – both aesthetically and technically, www.bitmesra.ac.in is an online repository of information and activity for the institute’s existing students, young aspirants, parents, teachers and general information seekers.

The challenge of developing the site has been two-fold. While on the one hand, the site had to be aesthetically striking with comprehensive content, both static and retrievable through database driven modules, on the other, the entire site had to be developed on a Content Management System (CMS), keeping the need for constant information modification and inclusion in mind.

Solutions Offered

Allindia Technologies has provided solutions at two levels:

Design & Development

The BIT Mesra site was designed keeping in mind the fact that the Institute has a coveted heritage of more than 50 years, a rich background of imparting technical training through the years and that of creating a talent pool that makes the country proud. This essence has been aptly conveyed through the flash animation that runs in the main communication area on the home page.

Designed in the Institute’s house colours, the entire navigation panel of the site is CMS driven whereby one can either enter or delete both main and sub level links as required. Other highlights on the home page include a brief description of the Institute which leads to further details, a campus map which is interactive and on click reveals the position and contact details of any BIT campus within India and abroad. Other activities that a student can perform on the home page include searching for his/her result after choosing the stream of study or download information. Keeping in mind the fact that the website for BIT Mesra was primary, Allindia Technologies created microsites for all other campuses of BIT (within India) based on the same design structure.

The site is exhaustive in content and information. Each section has been created after undergoing extensive research. Special emphasis has been given in sections meant exclusively for prospective and existing students. Each Department has been highlighted with relevant information, including course structures for all programmes offered. Developing fresh content, segregating existing content according to their relevance and engaging in effective content management for the entire project (which includes the site for BIT Mesra and other microsites) has been a task well met by Allindia Technologies.

Special care has been given for creating sections like Prospective Students, Existing students and the Campus Placement, as these are the most important and most visited sections of the site. Separate landing pages have been created for each of these, with a preview of all contents within the respective sections, detailed information being available when icons are clicked on. Contents have been crafted accordingly, so that they come across as both appealing and objective to the potential target audience. The ‘Alumni’ section that already existed in the earlier website has been integrated in the new site in a fresh design and display.

Technical Implements

Allindia Technologies has created various administrator driven modules for BIT Mesra that will help update information on the site and also fetch relevant data for those who seek it.

To make information easily available to viewers and for the use of modifying site contents, the entire navigation structure and the content area has been developed through an efficient Content Management System. Other modules created include, Notice Board, Examination Results, Events Calendar, News & Gallery and a student’s login section.

To Sum it Up…

The website for BIT Mesra and the microsites for its seven campuses has been an exhaustive project handled by Allindia Technologies which has encompassed all aspects of development, namely, design, content and technical module creation for the internet medium.

Requirement

An effective software solution needed to be developed for Tata Power Ltd. to cater to the information requirements of the employees and vendors simultaneously. The portal would also help prospective candidates to register their applications for becoming a vendor of Tata Power.

Solution

The Tata Power Vendor Portal created by Allindia Technologies is an effective solution towards integration and organisation of business information for benefit of both vendors and employees. It also allows the Company to get a comprehensive view of its vendor relationships and coordinate the same for easy access and use along with provision for conducting surveys.

The module essentially caters to three types of users – administrative, vendors and prospective vendors.

1) A link to the administrative section is currently integrated on the homepage of the Company’s intranet – SANGAM. Users, i.e. employees of Tata Power, after logging in through a valid id and password will be able to perform a number of tasks including -

  • Managing administrative users and their rights.
  • Processing requests from prospective vendors and send the PDF registration form.
  • Viewing transaction details of vendors.

Tata Steel – Career Microsite

Tata Steel, one of the top ten steel producers in the world has a balanced global presence in over 50 developed European and fast growing Asian markets. The success story of Tata Steel is by itself an inspiration for all those looking to make a mark in their careers. 

Tata Steel Group’s Vision-2012, focuses on the Company to become the ‘Employer of Choice’. It is a strategic priority and requires focused efforts to recruit, train and retain skills on an ongoing basis. As an employer, the Company is respected for adhering to its system of values, the essence of which has been inculcated in every employee and the spirit of which each one is expected to uphold.

Purpose

Even as it revamped its existing corporate site, Tata Steel needed to have an exclusive microsite created for its Career section in order to pay special emphasis on the Company’s HR policies, opportunities and offerings in terms of career growth. Tata Steel needed an online forum for disseminating information on how the Company has successfully inspired its people to work with the right attitude and spirit. The career microsite is aimed at attracting quality manpower in all ranks and young career seekers, for whom it would be a comprehensive information resource about the Company and its offerings.

Solution

For Tata Steel, its people resource is of supreme importance. Hence its human resource policies and issues related to working with the Company have been portrayed in a separate microsite accessible from the corporate site.

Allindia Technologies has worked to create a slick and smart microsite to highlight the career aspects as well as the human face of the Company. The site is available on clicking the Career section available on www.tatasteel.com The career microsite follows all other Tata Steel microsites in structure but has its own exclusive design elements that match its addressed subject and contents.

The main communication area of the microsite has been made interactive with links provided for specific information from within the site that viewers will find relevant. The site offers relevant information on the kind of recruits that Tata Steel is looking for, challenges offered to employees and current positions (which links to a module in www.naukri.com where all current requirements of the Company is uploaded). The site comprises relevant information and contact details where an interested candidate may send his/her resume.

Tata Steel – Corporate site

Tata Steel, one of the top ten steel producers in the world, has always believed that mutual benefit of countries, corporations and communities is the most effective route to growth. With operations and businesses that are forever expanding, the Tata Steel Group has an imposing presence not only within India, but around the globe as well. The Company has always had significant impact on the economic development in India and now seeks to strengthen its position of pre-eminence in the international domain by continuing to lead by example of responsibility and trust. The newly revamped website for the Company precisely encompasses all of these and many more facets of the Group and offers viewers a complete picture of its operations, offerings, financials and social responsibilities among other details.

Purpose

Tata Steel needed to revise its already existing website in order to attain an aesthetically appealing and neat online corporate face. This would not only serve as an effective online library of information, but also highlight and promote the Company’s brands, its operations, presence across the globe and all other important information. Through suitable content and information display, the new website needed to emphasize the fact that today, Tata Steel is not only restricted to the Indian subcontinent alone but has a prominent global footprint, through meaningful partnerships and acquisitions.

Apart from this, the requirements of creating the site afresh included:

  • A strong and imposing design for the site that would look slick and contemporary while living up to the requirements of a vast and century-old corporate house like Tata Steel.
  • Dissemination of updated Company information to all stakeholders with ease.
  • Significant content development and management that was required to encompass:
  • Focus on Tata Steel's Global identity and maintain a balance between operations and functions
  • Comprehensive ideas pertaining to the Company's approach in the ways it conducts business, its product offerings and other details that go beyond business, along with all facts and figures
  • Detailed review of Tata Steel's operations across the globe.
  • Have an easy-to-use navigation facility that would incorporate comprehensive information in relevant sections, logically segregated.
  • Ample cross-linking facilities wherever applicable in order to supplement information with other related details.
  • Have relevant sections for news, reports and releases, which would be displayed date-wise and can be searched under various parameters.

A visual representation of the Company's expansive global network through continent and country wise detail segregation.

Solution

Allindia Technologies has worked on the Tata Steel website to turn it around entirely both aesthetically as well as technically.  Today www.tatasteel.com comes across with a new look. The home page opens up to the theme of ‘steel as a way of life’ and shows the various uses of steel through an interactive flash. Interestingly, the image of different forms of steel usage changes on each refresh thereby keeping the home page fresh and ever dynamic. The communication area is divided into four distinct highlights that lead a viewer to relevant contents and related case studies that are important with respect to the Company.

The website also comes with an interesting and easy to use navigation panel, that offers a viewer to just take the mouse over to any one link name and have a bird’s eye view of the entire section. The content for each of the sections has been etched out keeping in mind the focus of the communication and effectively linked to related information available within the site and externally as well.

Significant is the global network map within the site, which highlights a world map and zooms into places with Tata Steel’s presence offering relevant details related to specific operations, location and presence etc. The Corporate Citizen section is comprehensive and details out all endeavours of Tata Steel in fulfilling corporate social responsibility in its areas of operations, while the investor section has been exclusively created with financials and shareholders’ information.

Special mention is due to the Media section that acts as a repository of Tata Steel’s in-house publications, awards, news, reports & releases and campaigns created over the years and photo galleries. This is a module driven section where contents can be sorted and searched under certain parameters like date, month and year, subject etc.

For Tata Steel, its people resource is of supreme importance. Hence its human resource policies and issues related to working with the Company have been portrayed in a separate microsite accessible from the corporate site.
