E-Business Proposal: E-School
E-School as the name suggests will be a 24x7 Online School, where thetrainers and students from all the courses will unite.
All trainings/courses will then be controlled and conducted on the E-School. Students & Teachers can access all the resources with the their Login IDs.
The trainers/teachers will upload their presentations, videos and studymaterial online and will make a virtual classroom environment.
Students can attend tutorial sessions practically anytime & from anywhere theywant and can post their queries.
Queries raised in a particular session will be answered by the teacher/trainerand will be listed alongside the topic.
Students/Professionals enrolled under Distant Learning Programmesor On-Site trainings will be getting the maximum benefits.
Implementation of this system will allow the work force to get engagedin more projects and will cut down lots of other expenditures.

Estimated time to payback
Proposal is targeted to cater
600 Students/year for Classroom Training program.
600 Students/year for Distance Learning program.1200 Students/Year
Sedulity conducts 30 corporate training programs every year.
.
30 Training x 30 participants
900 Professionals/Year
Each copy of Study Material consisting of Single User DVDs Pack = 42
Thus cost of 1200+900 copies of study material = 42x2100
Therefore, Net Savings = 88200/Year
Thus the Implementation Cost of 8000 can be covered in aperiod less than 2 months.
