Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

APPLITECH – Mumbai                                                                                                             August 24, 2000

 

Dear Mr. Sudhakar:

 

                                                                        Order Execution Module Software

                                                                        Your offer dated August 21, 2000

 

I refer to your offer and our discussion on Aug. 21. Unfortunate  we could not meet today (as planned) but Mr. Cyril Ovely could spare sometime either on 29th (Tue) or on 1st Sept. (Fri) and I await your early confirmation.

 

In the meantime, I have gone  thru your offer. I enclose my comments on your “terms” as ell as some observations on the “Scope of Work / Features”.  Most of these are merely a SYNOPSIS of the notes given to your earlier.

 

I am sending 2 copies, so that you can handover one copy to Mr. Tripathi or make a photocopy  and send to Tapan.

 

As far as the price and the delivery period quoted by you is concerned, I do not wish to bargain but I want your assurance that there will be no compromise on QUALITY as far as in corporations of features / functions and upgradeability is concerned. You may treat this as our Purchase order and collect your cheque during your next visit

 

With regards

HCP

                                                                                                                                                        cc: Mr. Cyril Ovely

 


 

GENERAL COMMENTS

 

Ø   No data should be required to be entered twice

Ø  We should be able to “CUSTOMISE’ any statement / report simply by

·         Clicking on desired “fields”

·         Allotting “Sequence-of-appearance” to each such field.

If such statement / Reports are meant to be sent to any  outsider (client / candidate / Associate etc.), the same cannot be generated / printed – out / faxed / e-mailed.

 

WITHOUT

 

entering P.O. details

Statements / Reports generated for internal use can only be seen / viewed on Screen but cannot be faxed / emailed / printed  / copied.

 

Ø  Any vacancy / position advertised by us in print-media (whether for a client or for ourselves) must be treated as a Purchase Order, which must get “linked” to be the “Advt. No.” AND position / vacancy No. as well.

Ø  “Client Name” is the Anchor-Point / reference point. This is what all of us remember and all search, will normally start  by “Clicking” on a client’s name in a dropdowns list.

 

This is the MAIN – GATE thru which we should enter the

                                       

ORDER EXECUTION MODULE

 

We should NOT be able to enter O/E module WITYHOUT entering / clicking CLIENT NAME !

 

Every data /field should, somehow get linked to “Client Name” (or a “potential – client” name ? – eg. and inquiry form a client which may or may not result into an order)

  

Ø  “Individual Activity Time” permitted to a Consultant for each of the 21 activities should be standardized & FROZEN in advance.

 

 

This will called

“ACTIVITY STANDARD TIME”

 

If, in a particular PO, the concerned consultants feels that any particular AST needs to be changed, he / she should approach Nirmit for modifying. This cannot be changed unilaterally.

 

In course of time (at a later date) these ASTs  will also be visible to the concerned client, when we permit him SELF – MONITORING  (over extranet / internet).

 

Actual activity time taken (AAT) will be compared with AST and variances (-cumulative also) will be calculated for each P.O.

 

These + / - v variance will form the basis of evaluation of the performance of a consultant in execution of that particular assignment.

 

When a consultant has completed 20 order / assignments, it should be possible to plot consultant-wise FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION CHARTS of variances / AAT.

 

Built- In productivity measurement of each consultant has to be a KEY-FEATURE of O/E module.

 

Ø  The O/E module must be able to access the existing databases directly  and there should be no need to construct fresh / new masters of candidates & clients.

Our database is in Oracle 8i and we will make available the database structure to Applitech.

 

Ø  Back End

Oracle 8i is ok. We have licensed copy. We are trying to get version 2.0 + IFS (Internet File Server)

Ø  Front End

Our  Mr. Cyril Ovely will advise you on this

 

Ø  Our Website

Not only, you should thoroughly study the present “functionality / interactivity” of our website but also obtain a through understanding of changes being planned,  form Mr. Cyril Ovely, who is working on this. Any failure in this, may result in waste of time / effort / money all around.

 

For “junior – level” candidates (College Student / Fresh Graduates / Others drawing annual salary of < Rs. 2 Lakhs) we are planning to “Sell” their resumes (to an online recruiter) for a fixed amount per resume.

 

Such persons, would have, in advance, authorized us (while filling in their resume form online on our website), to “forward” their resumes to our online /offline corporate-clients, without taking / obtaining their permission each time their resume gets shortlisted.

 

When an online shopping – basket arrives (or is created offline by one of our consultants thru localized resume-search, for an offline client), the order Execution Module, should be able to

 

Ø  Calculate the amount payable by the corporate client

(e.g. 10 resumes x Rs. 500 / resume = Rs. 5,000)

 

Ø  Sent out an “offer /quotation” automatically to the concerned  client by email (standard letter where blanks get filled-in automatically in case of online shopping basket or manually by consultants in  case of an offline search)

asking client to send a D/D of Rs. 5000/-

 

Ø  Send-out (i.e. email)  10 full resumes (with name /contact details) to the concerned corporate client as soon as D/D is received & details are entered in  O/E module against that specific Shipping Basket NO / Client Name

 

This “ONLINE SAE OF RESUME” feature is not mentioned anywhere in the folder given to you earlier since this is a recent development

 

This is however, one of the most  CRITICA / IMPORTANT  feature of the Order Execution Module, which requires perfect / seamless integration with our website – based process of

 

ð Online Resume-search by headhunter

ð                shortlisting by             

ð                filling up of shopping Basket

ð                 arrival of SB at our office, triggering the ORDER EXECUTION MODULE.

This “triggering / activating” is keyword !
