CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction to Internship
Internship is one of the on-the-job training for the under-graduate students that helps to enhance

information, this program has given me the opportunity to work in the real world scenario and help
me to enhance my skill, knowledge and attitude.
The internship in the field of information technology helps to increase the exposure and in-depth
knowledge in the respective technical platform. The technical industry is growing rapidly and new
technology is emerging with the speed of time so, the skill and knowledge gain in the college is
not enough to compete in the market. We need some real world experience in the industry and the
internship program helps the students to gain the professional experience. In the BIM course, we
learn various subjects such as Web Technology, Database Management System, Java
Programming, Data Communication and Networking, Accounting, Business Finance,
Organizational Behavior, etc. and in the internship program we must try to implement those
learning in order to produce the fruitful outcome.
1.2 Background

Pahuna Hotels is a project initiated by TechRoadians Offshore Base. Based on overcoming the
current problems faced by hotel reservation system, Pahuna Hotels is the online hotel reservation

The main aim for the study is to be able to promote and globalize Pahuna that provides quality

1.4 Brief introduction to the industry
Computer science is the study of principles and practices that underpin an understanding and
modelling of computation, and of their application in the development of computer system. At its
heart lies the notion of computational thinking; a mode of thought that goes well beyond software
and hardware, and that provides a framework within which to reason about system and problems.
This mode of thinking is supported and complemented by a substantial body of theoretical and
practical knowledge and by a set of powerful techniques for analyzing, modeling and solving
problems.
The software industry expanded in the early 1960, almost immediately after computer ere first sold
is mass-produced quantities. Universities, government, and business customers created a demand
for software. Many of these programs were written in house by full0time staff programmer. Some
wearer distributed freely between users of a particular machine for no charge. Others were done
on commercial basis and other firms such as computer sciences corporation (founded 1959) started
to grow. The computer/hardware markers started bundling operating systems, systems software
and programming environment with their machines.
The software market in Nepal is experiencing steady growth. Experts and professionals involved
in this business are taking this growth as a positive aspect of developing awareness related to
information technology in the country.

The literature review work is influenced by Qualitative approach; keeping this in view study of

researches in the area of our interest and to have insight of philosophical perspective, for better
understanding in the study area.

To gather literature of interest, different resources and databases was gathered available for free

methodologies and best practices of responsiveness.
The review was started with the extraction of related information about the need of current
software and website in public and selection of proper tools and process which could accomplish
the requirement of the customer. The software and the website is regarding the hotel management
system and which must be responsive in accordance with the customer request. Some useful
technologies were referenced from similar kinds of projects which were already developed. Those
needs were referenced to reduce the paper work by collecting the feedbacks from customers and
understanding the actual easiness the users search for. The requirement for the information and
easy access is the primary requirement for any software and website. The website and software
design was already prepared. The digital marketing plan and strategies were prepared. First the
available resources were analyzed to know about the current potentiality of the organization in
terms of human resource and available expertise in the current field. The level of complexity of
the plan and marketing strategies were decided according to the level of knowledge of users and
dynamic software and website.
After the needs for the digital marketing of the website was finalized through various tools, the

O’Reilly Media, gives the depth knowledge about comprehending SEO’s many intricacies and
complexities. This text book fully assisted to explore the underlying theory and inner workings of
search engines. It helped to understand the role of social media, user data and links. It also helped
to discover tools to track results and measure success.

2.2.1 Overview of Traditional & Digital Marketing
Traditional marketing refers to any type of promotion, advertising or campaign that has been in
use by companies for years, and that has a proven success rate. Methods of traditional marketing
can include print advertisements, such as newsletters, billboards, flyers and newspaper print ads.
[1][2][3][4]
In simplistic terms, digital marketing is the promotion of products or brands via one or more forms
of electronic media. Digital marketing differs from traditional marketing in that it in the use of
channels and methods that enable an organization to analyze marketing campaigns and understand
what is working and what isn't-typically in real time.
Digital marketers monitor things like what is being viewed, how often and for how long, sales
conversions, what content works and doesn't work, etc. While the Internet is, perhaps, the channel
most closely associated with digital marketing, others include wireless text messaging mobile
instant messaging, mobile apps podcasts, electronic billboards, digital television and radio
channels, etc. [5]
2.2.2 Traditional Marketing versus Digital Marketing
The difference between Traditional Marketing and Digital Marketing can be done on the basis of
4 points below:
Cost
Every business strategy engages to budget, so does both strategies. There is some difference in the
cost between traditional marketing and online marketing. Traditional marketing promotes the
products of a brand through ads on paper, billboard, television, radio, and more. This marketing
strategy spends huge cost to keep the promotion running as the schedule. Online marketing can
also carry a cost, but there are numerous online marketing strategies that are virtually free.
Coverage

11
In traditional marketing, coverage of your product will be printed on paper media or aired on
television and radio. Unfortunately, the exposure your products will get is very often momentary.
For example, the newspaper where your high-cost advertisement appeared in is going to throw the
next day. On the other way, your online coverage will be always there for like forever. It will be
archived on the internet and ready to be found easily whenever your customers need it.
Audience
Traditional marketing is more effective for target customer which out of reach of internet. They
are people who do not connect to the internet on daily basis. Senior citizens or low-end economic
citizens who are internet illiterate are the best target for traditional marketing strategy. O the other
way, people who are never without internet in their reach, such as teenagers and businessmen, are
easier in to reach through online marketing
Tracking
It is difficult to keep track of your traditional marketing strategy. You need to put a lot of effort
and time-consuming research to get information how your customer behavior against your
products. On the other hand, online marketing is easy to track. Email marketing software can tally
the number of people who view your message. Moreover, it can the number of advertisements that
lead to purchases on online sales. [6]
2.2.3 Research on other Similar Current Websites
OYO Rooms
OYO Rooms, is an Indian aggregator for standardized inexpensive hotel rooms. It currently
operates in more than 170 Indian cities and in Malaysia. Service provided by OYO Rooms are:
OYO ensures that hotels provide standard features including free WiFi and breakfast, flat-screen
TVs, and so on. These rooms range from 999 ($16) to 12000 rupees ($165). The aggregator
provides property owners with support such as standardized supplies and service training. [7]

12
Agoda.com
Agoda Company Pte Ltd is an Online Travel Agency (OTA) based in Singapore that offers
accommodation booking services through its website and mobile app. Agoda.com is reported to
be the only Asia-based online travel company to hold a spot within the top sis, according to data
from industry observer, Skift. It offers its service in 38 different languages, with various types of
accommodations included in its inventory, from hotels and b&bs to beach resorts, rest houses and
home stays. [8]
Priceline.com
Priceline.com is an American company and a commercial website that claims to help users obtain
discount rates for travel-related purchases such as airline tickets and hotel stays. The company is
not a direct supplier of these services, instead it facilitates the provision of travel services by its
suppliers to its customers. It is headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, United States,
Priceline.com is wholly owned by The Priceline Group. [9]
Booking.com
Booking.com is an online accommodation booking website started as a small start-up in Enschede
in 1996, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands and since 2005 owned and operated by United States

900,000 room nights’ reservations each day. In 2013, it accounted for more than two thirds of
Priceline's revenue. Booking.com is available in more than 41 languages. [10]

2.3 Specific Problem Analysis
2.3.1 Understanding the Existing System
The system here refers to the search engine friendly websites. Currently there are a considerable
websites and software that functions in the field of online hotel management. Those websites are
either not responsive or filled with too much functionalities that makes the viewer/user to view the
website more complex and time consuming. Many organizations and industries working in the
field of hotel management are not aware and not even shown interest about the online hotel
management websites. The reason behind this is that they are unable to make the reach and gain
popularity of online hotel management related website among the customers. Customers feel
uneasy and find it difficult to use the use the system.
2.3.2 Development of Project Goals
Considering the problems mentioned in the above section, the internship project is aimed to
develop a digital marketing for a website to flow the right amount of information and responsive
to users.
For developing a digital marketing for a website, we need to make sure that we have some
objectives in place. A simple, increase traffic or rank better is not specific enough but, having said
that, creating goals that are so specific they exclude any recognition of improvement across the
board are similarly limiting.
Pahuna website is a website that helps to book the seats for the specific hotels online and many
more. The overall goal is to increase the conversions on website and increase the user’s
interactions. The strategy goals for the project are:
 Promote the website of online hotel seats booking system – Pahuna Hotels.
 Creating the various social media events, pages, groups as a part of promotion.

14
 Provide the information that is easily understood by users i.e. increasing the readability
score.
 Information sharing facilities through social medias like Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus,
Reddit, etc.
 Provide newsletter facility to new and existing customers.
 Provide the information regarding the latest events conducted by the organization regarding
particular subject.
2.4 Management Strategy
2.4.1 Time Management Strategy
Time management is the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the
amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or
productivity. Time management may be aided by a range of skills, tools, and techniques used to
manage time when accomplishing specific tasks, projects, and goals complying with a due date.
Initially, time management referred to just business or work activities, but eventually the term
broadened to include personal activities as well. A time management system, in the case of digital
marketing, is a designed combination of SEO, SEM, traffic building, conversion analysis, email
marketing, content management system (CMS), social media marketing, and integration of Offline
Marketing. Time management is usually a necessity in any project development as it determines
the project completion time and scope.
2.4.1.1 Prioritize tasks
The tasks to be performed for the completion of the project should be listed and prioritized
according the functionality early during start of the project. The tasks include research, study of
the requirement, SEO, Marketing, Blogging, CMS, SMM and maintenance etc. High priority tasks
such as Search Engine Optimization were given more time, resources and emphasis and completed
accordingly.

15
2.4.1.2 Regular meeting
Regular meeting and discussion with supervisor was conducted. This enables the project to be
scheduled in time and maintain the punctuality and in turn helped to focus the objective of the
project.
2.4.2 Cost Management Strategy
The strategy helps to determine the benefits that can be obtained from the system by comparing
them with the various costs. If the benefits are higher than the cost, then the system is considered
to be economically feasible to be developed. Else it is easily understanding that the system is not
economically feasible and certain things are to be worked out and modified in order to acquire the
desired cost strategy. For minimizing the developed cost, we have used WordPress framework.
WordPress enables the programmers to implement the complex solutions with the help of its
framework. WordPress framework helped for managing the cost for the development of this
project because it’s freely available to use. The current website is hosted through WordPress.
WordPress offers great flexibility and the functionality.
2.4.3 Data Collection Strategy
The demand for administrative information is increasing, as are the demands on quality in statistics
and analyses, At the same time, one of data collection’s goals is to reduce the burden caused by
damages caused from lack of data. The challenge for data collection is to collect more information
of a higher quality at a lower cost that will help a lot in developing the digital marketing for Pahuna.
2.4.3.1 Interview
During the data collection process, interview with the supervisor and the sponsor of the site was
conducted to collect information and requirement regarding how much easy accessible to make
the website and what kinds of marketing strategies and social media strategies must be applied.

16
2.4.3.2 Questionnaire
Along the internship program many questions were asked to the supervisor and the mentor to gain
knowledge about the tools and marketing strategies used for digital marketing of the whole
website. Questions were asked to the supervisor and CTO of the company to learn the effective
way to create the responsive website.

2.5.2 GANTT chart
Gantt chart is a type of bar chart developed during the 1910’s by Henry Gantt. Gantt chart
represents the project schedule predefined. In internship period the project work is carried out in
different phases at different time, considering one major phase in a particular designated time
frame. The time schedule is shown in the Gantt chart below:

18
In the first phase of requirement gathering and analysis is being conducted and the code flow of
the website has been studied. In the second phase research work is carried out for the project. Then
the website testing and optimization review is carried according to the level of access.
Documentation process is carried from the early state of the project.

CHAPTER 3: SOLUTION DESIGN
3.1 Project Management Plan
Project Management Plan includes a framework or blueprint of step by step approach to achieving
the goal of the project.
3.1.1 System Analysis
System Analysis under this project covered the evaluating and inspecting of the feasible resources
for the completion of this project.
3.1.1.1 Feasibility Study
A feasibility study is an analysis of how successfully a project can be completed, accounting for
factors that affect it such as economic, technological, legal and scheduling factors.
3.1.1.1.1 Technical Feasibility
Technical feasibility was to make sure that the enhanced or optimized site would be able to work
in the existing infrastructure and integrate with the company’s rations. We can strongly say that it
is technically feasible, since there will not be much difficulty in getting required resources for the
enhancing the website as well. All the resources needed for it as well as the maintenance of the
same is available in the organization.
3.1.1.1.2 Economic Feasibility
In order to analyze the economic feasibility of the system, cost/benefit analysis is to be carried out.
This tool helps to determine the benefits that can be obtained from the system by comparing them
with various costs. If the benefits are higher than the cost, then the system is considered to be
economically feasible to be developed. Else we can easily understand that the system is not

20
economically feasible and certain things are to be worked out and modified in order to acquire
based on budget and the cost estimation made by the team of Digital Marketing of TechRoadians
Offshore Base.
3.1.1.1.3 Legal Feasibility
Legal feasibility considered the facilities and restrictions per the law for and against this project.
As being an information disseminating system it rarely faced any legal obstacles.
3.1.1.1.4 Operational Feasibility
Operational feasibility is a measure of how well a proposed system solves the problems, and takes
advantage of the opportunities identified during scope definition and how it satisfies the
requirements identified in the requirements analysis phase of system development. Suppose for a
moment that technical and economic resources are both judged adequate. The systems analyst must
still consider the operational feasibility of the requested project [12]. Operational feasibility is
dependent on human resources available for the project and involves projecting whether the system
will operate and be used once it is installed.
3.1.1.1.5 Schedule Feasibility
A project will fail if it takes too long to be completed before it is useful. Typically, this means
estimating how long the system will take to develop, and if it can be completed in a given time
period using some methods like payback period. Schedule feasibility is a measure of how
reasonable the project timetable is. Some projects are initiated with specific deadlines. We need to
determine whether the deadlines are mandatory or desirable.

21
3.1.2 System Design
3.1.2.1 ER Diagram
ER diagram shows the entities of the system, the interrelationship between them and the cardinality
of the relationship between them.
There is a total of 4 entities in the above ER diagram: Organization, Supervisor, Content & SEO
Analyst and Clients. Also these entities have their own attributes. They work in association with
one another for the completion of digital marketing plans and procedures. The company selects,
Figure 4: Entity Relation Diagram

22
discusses and makes a deal with the clients in a co-operative manner. The company then interacts
and explains the whole deal and its working areas to the supervisor who designs and assigns job
to the content and SEO manager. The supervisor is very much responsible in evaluating the task
and bringing necessary changes anytime needed so that no further complaints and disapproval of
contents won’t be raised.
The content and SEO manager works accordingly to the job given and goes through a couple of
research activities to create fruitful and satisfactory contents to meet the schedule requirements
too. The auditing of websites and analyzation of the network traffic is another responsibility to be
handled properly. More frequent the auditing, more network traffic involvement, thus making any
website organic is the major aspect of search engine optimization. The job completed is now
delivered to the clients and page manager. Finally, the optimized contents are posted and shared
in various social media platforms, clients search for it, and the users determine the workability of
the contents and provide the needed improvements.
3.1.2.2 Use Case Diagram
Use case diagram explains the different users participating in the system and access levels,
privileges to the system’s modules and subsystem functionalities.
Figure 5: Use Case Diagram of Pahuna

23
The use case diagram of Digital Marketing usually encompasses three actors. They are: Client,
Audience and Content & SEO Analyst. Digital Marketing deals with the organization and product
visibility in various digital media platforms. We, here deal with the product availability in search
engines with the optimized content and mapping with the related social media page. The client’s
demand is the foremost who wants to promote their products. They come up with a strong will to
reach to as many people as possible and indulge them in making the use of products or relying in
their company services for profit maximization. The growth of a business depends upon the ideas
and strategies a client possesses, so the description of the necessary requirements should be
forwarded to the content & SEO manager via the marketing company.
The Content and SEO Analyst is in charge of building up the optimized contents that can satisfy
the people for long term. Only content writing is not enough. Sharing of those ready content needs
to be shared in different social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon, Tumblr,
Flipboard, etc. Here the interaction and involvement of the users is prime. The visibility of
company increases with proper auditing of social media pages and Google ranking in search
engines. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) concept is used for better ranking of websites in
search engines that make these websites feasible to offer easy access to the users. Thus, making
the use of helpful and relevant contents, social media platforms and creating organic visibility of
a particular webpage in search engine results pages (SERPS) along with the regular updates of
traffic sources, onsite and offsite SEO, inbound links and keyword density determination, and
more are of essence here.
The concept of digital marketing is applied for resulting in loyalty to the brand/product. The use
of digital marketing has to persuade the audience with the convincing contents. Grabbing audience
attention requires a series of research that involve information on overall market structure,
competitors’ target market, selling techniques, marketing strategies, existing online partnerships
and key phrases. Brand awareness strategies, website traffic, customer satisfaction, internet
performance and traffic funneling/ converting are the key factors to be looked upon to seek
improvements in user increment and user-friendly environment. Hence, the purpose of the use case
diagram is to point out the works done by actors with the assistance of digital marketing.

3.1.2.3 Data Flow Diagram
The DFD is a graphical representation of the flow of data through an information system. It is an
efficient tool for drawing and representing a model of the system. The Figure 6 below represents
the Data Flow Diagram of the system.
Figure 6: Data Flow Diagram

25
The major and basic work of SEO is to understand the search engine and client requirements. The
visibility of company is the need of clients, so making contents organic and convincing is the target
to be met. The placement of keywords that make a good impact among the users of digital media
platforms is to be analyzed and is the most essential. Optimizing the website of any company is
the major task to be performed here, the mapping, auditing and pay per click are the focused
aspects of SEO. SEO submission is the act of mapping the page to enhance the flow of traffic in a
website. Link building is the process of increasing data traffic in one website via someone else’s
website in which the link is provided to get to another website. Finally, the reporting is completed
and in the final stage, the analysis of website is done to accomplish the whole task.
3.1.2.4 System Sequence Diagram
System sequence diagram explains the sequence flow the system follows while using different
modules. Some of them are:

Digital Marketing is a constantly advancing operation, and much of what is read in a passing
introduction to the subject is outdated in later course of time. Some alternative solutions this to
discuss several digital marketing operations. Once the optimization of the site is performed, some
analytical tools can be kept as alternative backhanders to continue to pursue optimizations.

CHAPTER 4: IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
4.1 Testing
System Testing is a level of the software testing process where a complete, integrated
system/software is tested. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the system compliance with the
specified requirements. system Testing is the process performing a variety of tests on a system to
explore functionality or to identify problems. System testing is usually required before and after a
system is put in place A series of systematic procedures are referred to while testing is being
performed.
In case of search optimization and digital marketing, the testing can be done with the keyword
search on the search engine to find out how effectively the optimization of the website has been
carried out.
4.2 Testing Screenshots
Since the Pahuna Hotels project is yet to be launched, the content of the Pahuna is properly indexed
in search engine. So, the keywords “Pahuna” and “Pahuna.com” are mostly indexed. So if we
Figure 10:SERP I

30
search through the following two keywords, we find the website at the top of the first page of
google.
The company has chosen a list of keywords that can be searched on the search engine, with their
respective encoding. The analytical table shows the list of those keywords along with their
properties.

Results are the expected outcomes that are accomplished after the completion of any work. The
expected outcomes depend upon the objectives that were mentioned in the earlier stages. These
objectives have a foundation in achieving desired results and determines the success of any project.

33
Hence, the above objectives were the expected outcomes / results of this project which was
successfully achieved.
5.2 Critical Analysis
How the data is structured is critical to enable accurate analysis and reporting. It will allow to build
five advanced, but simple, SEO analyses that can be performed with visitor intelligence.
Laying the Groundwork – Choosing the Right Systems
Almost every SEO solution will give the search volumes, keyword ranks and even traffic volumes;
these matter to the clients.
Most B2B marketers care about leads and opportunities, while every business cares about revenue.
What are the KPI’s (key performance indicators) and more importantly, what are they being
measured by? Is it leads, opportunities, ROI, annual revenue or LTV (life time value)? Whatever
it is, it should be made sure SEO plan has a clear path focusing on how to bring users there.
The right system will provide a comprehensive solution, giving the ability to report and analyze
data in one place. It might take some upfront work to setup the systems and customize them to
optimizer’s liking, but every minute spent upfront will save hours of work later. [14]
Building the Analysis
It’s often easier to plan and build an analysis if first look at the final product – the recommendations
are done. It might sound counterintuitive to think about analysis from the recommendation aspect,
since users run an analysis to come up with a recommendation, but most studies start with a
hypothesis, so a simple SEO analysis should follow the same logic. This exercise will also help
one rationalize some of the metrics and KPI’s user initially thought were important, and uncover
a few they might have overlooked

34
When SEO keyword analysis is performed, a specific set of tools is used to identify and analyze
keyword already in use by the client and their competitor. Next, another set of SEO keyword tools
(Like Google AD word Keyword Tool) is used to identify a larger list. There are six critical factor
in identifying the ultimate set of target keyword. [15]
1. Relevancy
2. Search Stage
3. Traffic
4. Competitiveness (depends on Organic Traffic)
5. Search Value and Market Value
Relevancy
This should be fairly obvious, but the goal is not to simply increase traffic, but to increase qualified
traffic. There are lots of keywords that might bring traffic based on curiosity but how likely are
people searching for those terms to buy the service or product.
Search Stage
People using ore advanced vocabulary are getting closer to the point of purchase. It also means
that any of the competitors that optimized for keywords away from the close, spend effort/money
to educate customers.
Traffic
Most of the people select their SEO keywords based on their instinct, without checking their value
on search engines. The search terms require to be analyzed through Google AdWords Keyword
Planner. It gives basic view of the keywords search result. Keyword selection process have been
done through Google AdWords or Keyword Planner.
Competitiveness

35
There are 10 spots valuable on the first page of a Google Search result. The greater the number of
competitive pages, the more difficult it is to get a first position. The following rages are used to
gauge the level of SEO competition and established SEO pricing.
Search Value
These are keywords that have been tested via Keyword Selection tools – Google Keywords where
competitors are paying good money to advertise. It is assumed that they are paying attention to
ROI. Therefore, if a keyword has a higher Pay Per Click (PPC) value, it’s probably better for
business than one with a lower PPC value.
Understanding the SEO strategy of a competitive website is a acritical component of SEO
campaign. Both traditional the company’s sales and marketing teams often come across and
keyword those that rank for target keyword phrases in search engines marketers should seek to
understand about their competition include keyword and content strategy, inbound link
information, and social media presence. [16]
5.3 Limitation of the System
In internship period internee was able to understand the real working environment of IT
organization. As per internee idea IT department is concerned with development of application
software. This department is responsible for project planning, resource allocation, cost and effort
estimation, and risk management, monitoring and controlling and testing quality of software.
Internee was assigned the website of the company to be optimized during internship placement
and the digital marketing of the respective website, which was related to Online Hotel
Management. This report is prepared on the base of overall website system design process. The
main procedure starts with identification of current system ranking and end with optimization
testing.

36
5.4 Recommendation to the Organization
Nobody is perfect at all, so during internship placement author faced multiple problems. The
problems were both; usual and unusual. The usual problem used to be timing whereas unusual
problem were the obstacles on website optimization process. There was a confusion regarding
what to expect from the internship due to lack of guidance and proper supervisor on behalf of the
organization. There was also the limited access as the admin of the website which made author
difficult to keep the screenshots of necessary portions. But overall, the environment was good and
sound for the internship to be performed.
5.5 Recommendation to Internship Program
The internship program for BIM program helps the student to compete in the real world after the
college life. They get the real exposure through the organization and they are able to face different
kinds of real world problem. After the internship they are able to know the organizational behavior
and their working pattern.
Student should follow the rules and regulations of the internship program. The time frame seems
to be insufficient to the student since this period should be increased so as to learn more. Student
should choose the organization according to their filed of interest. So, there should be more
internship opportunity to the student. Research oriented internship is necessary rather than
programming or networking.

37
CHAPTER 6: CONCLUSION
From internship program the author is much benefited by having real world experience in the
Software and Web Development Company where author can implement concepts and logics that
learned during study period. Within this short span of time, web development and analysis
activities has been observed and learnt, which taught the significance of relation, leadership traits
and other managerial and advertisement skills.
The greatest things that was learned doing internship is how to accomplish the task by doing it in
team, how to make best use of internet, how to use different tools to gain efficiency, how to do
code so that are in standard according to coming new technologies. The website was effectively
optimized so that its presence had been highly significant on the search engine, with a good
content, proper placement of keywords, and appreciable number of visits to inbound links, hits,
clicks and impressions.
The exposure to the practical environment has increased experience and confidence to deal with
various organizational communications with the customer. The system developed; or more
precisely the website optimized by studying the existing system and client expectation has
improved and given more boundaries for the author to analyze and system to develop software.
The author has learnt to perform amazingly at the presentation and has developed his
demonstration skills as well. With this, the author has gained the knowledge of the practical
environment of the organization that he has been part of which has boosted him the wisdom of the
organizational discipline and time management.
Finally, internship program has increased the skill to communicate and report to those parties in
time regarding any kind of issues that are dealt in the organization and buildup the confidence
level to work in team and real world projects.
