 Suggestions &
Recommendations
• The company has to first conduct a detailed
market research with the decision makers of
different management institutions and if
required provide information and assistance to
them regarding online campus management
solutions.

• The company has to provide user-friendly portal

which is very much needed as most of the users
will not prefer complicated portals. Hence, the
company can use the idea of orkut or facebook
for designing the portal as most of the users will
be having an idea to use these websites.
• This is the right time for Vrixx to penetrate into DK and
Udupi market with their online campus management
solution service products. As there are very less
companies which provide this kind of service.

• We recommend Vrixx to adopt internet promotions and

Direct marketing as their strategic promotions once
after creating basic awareness among the target
customers. As these two promotional tools will help
Vrixx to convey the benefits which an educational
institutions can derive to their campus.

• The company has to adopt high speed servers as these

portals might be used by hundreds of students at a time
for many purposes, hence high speed servers are
important for providing better customer service
• We recommend print ads and media (TV)
promotions to create basic awareness
among the target customers (educational
institutions), as print ads (news papers,
magazines,.etc) are the most common
subscriptions made by every educational
institution and media (TV) promotions are
the way to reach out customers easily.

• Also the company can go for publicity by

sponsoring events in college fests,
educational fairs etc.
 Conclusion

internet facility and even students have their
personal internet facility which tells they are
used to internet, on an average 3-6 hours
respondents use the internet per week which add
values in implementing online campus
management solution.

Apart from the above, due to unawareness of

portals and online blogs most of the students
are using pen drive to share information.

On an average respondents feel that Online

Campus Management Solution is required, which
will facilitate them in sharing information and
communication

more concerned with the benefit derived from
any service but not the cost.
