- Building a Cloud – based Social Networking Platform using Ruby on Rails • Neev built a cloud-based web application that has emerged as one of the world’s largest social networking platforms for social entrepreneurs to connect, discuss, share, innovate and help each other. • Catering to a global audience, the application supports 12 languages. • The social platform has an in-built search feature that allows any profile or discussion to be searched based on tags, relevance, type of activity, etc.
- The Client • Ashoka, one of the world’s largest networks of social entrepreneurs, has 3000 Ashoka fellows present across 70 countries. • Ashoka was founded in the year 1980 by Bill Drayton. • It provides start-up financing, professional support services and also connects social entrepreneurs to a global pool across various businesses and social sectors. • Ashoka provides a platform to enable people to change the world. • It works in partnership with players in the private, philanthropic and citizen sectors to drive large-scale innovation.
- Business Need • Even though Ashoka had over 3000 social entrepreneurs as fellows across the globe, it was observed that these social entrepreneurs were often functioning individually and much below their highest potential. • There was a need to connect all these entrepreneurs and enable them to help each other rather than Ashoka being the sole source of help for them. • Thus emerged the requirement for a platform that enables social entrepreneurs to get on board, connect, interact, share and discuss their ideas, innovations, news, ask doubts, provide solutions and help each other.
- Neev Solution • Neev developed a RoR - based application, which is hosted on Heroku platform available for all social entrepreneurs. • The whole application was built in less than 4 months using an Agile methodology. • As the social entrepreneurs are from across the world the application is multilingual and supports 12 languages to start with. • To cater to the client’s requirements, Neev created a cloud-based social networking web application that acts as a hub for social entrepreneurs to interact and benefit mutually. • Using Google Translate plugins, the social platform was made multi-lingual supporting 12 languages to cater to social entrepreneurs of Ashoka all across the globe. • A search feature was also built into the application using Solr search engine to enable user profiles and discussions to be searched and filtered based on tags, relevance, recent activity, etc.
- Top Features • Any user can initiate a discussion. • Users can follow other users or discussions. • All discussions/profiles can be searched using tags. • Filters can be used to search the results based on relevance, recent activity, type of activity or pre-defined categories. • Supports 12 languages.
- Technology Footprint • Ruby on Rails (RoR) • MySQL database (DB) • Solr search engine • Google Translate plugins • GIT source repository • Heroku deployment environment • Pivotal tracker for project management • Integration with Google Analytics
