Introduction
The information technology is not new to the world. It is been used from many
years but they were in different forms and different techniques were used. As time
passed the technology also went on changing, The Information Technology got a new
dimension when it got the technology support. There are few stages which help us to
know about the changes happened in the Information Technology sector.
During this period the people were trying to use some symbols, pictures and tried to
communicate by speaking to each other. By Around 2000 B.C., Phoenicians created
symbols, later The Greeks later adopted the Phoenician alphabet and added vowels;
the Romans gave the letters Latin names to create the alphabet we use today.
Sumerians' input technology was a stylus that could scratch marks in wet clay. About
2600 B.C., the Egyptians write on the papyrus plant and later, around 100 A.D., the
Chinese made paper from rags, on which modern-day papermaking is based. The
Religious leaders in Mesopotamia kept the earliest "books" for future reference. The
Egyptians kept scrolls and Around 600 B.C., the Greeks began to fold sheets of
papyrus vertically into leaves and bind them together, later the number system started
by Egyptian system ,The numbers 1-9 as vertical lines, the number 10 as a U or circle,
the number 100 as a coiled rope, and the number 1,000 as a lotus blossom. The first
numbering systems similar to those in use today were invented between 100 and 200
A.D. by Hindus in India who created a nine-digit numbering system. Around 875
A.D., the concept of zero was developed. And by using the zero and one the
computers are operated.

This was the stage where the machines were used to speed up the work and to
make the work easier. The First Information Explosion was by Johann Gutenberg who
invented the movable metal-type printing process in 1450.the name ‘computer’ was
given to those people who were working with numbers. Under this stage the invented
the first basic model of calculator and a slide rule. This by gradual development of
book indexes and the widespread by using the page numbers.
During this period the machines were used with the help of electricity to store
and retrieve the data. The few machines which were used during this period are radio,
Morse Code machines, telegraph, electronic waves. The discovery of ways to harness
electricity was the key advance made during this period. Knowledge and information
could now be converted into electrical impulses. In the beginning of
telecommunication around late 18th century Voltaic battery was found later in early
1800s telegram was used. Again in the year 1835 Samuel Morse developed Morse
code in which dots & dashes were used. In the year 1876 Alexander Graham Bell
invented Telephone & Radio which is still in existence. Followed by the discovery
that electrical waves travel through space and can produce an effect far from the point
at which they originated. These two events led to the invention of the radio by
Guglielmo Marconi in 1894. Then electromechanical computing was invented by
Herman Hollerith and IBM. During this period the IBM invented a machine which
was used to Paper tape stored data and program instructions. This machine was ready
for use on January 1942, it was built by using 8 feet tall, 51 feet long, 2 feet thick,
weighed 5 tons, used about 750,000 parts.
The generation of computers was found in this stage. Hear the computers were
made able to use the vacuum tubes. Then Eckert and Mauchly found first high speed
General-Purpose Computer using Vacuum Tubes called Electronic Numerical
3
Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) in 1946. Then many machines came into existence
later personal computer was invented later even super computers have been used, now
laptops & palm tops are widely used.
By seeing the above four stages of the computer we can come to know the
process of information technology is changing day by day. Now the computers are
playing a tremendous role in the field of information technology.
Now in the modern world no one let the opportunity so in IT sector there are
many companies which are playing in the market. They are:

IT INDUSTRY IN INDIA
The Indian information technology sector has been instrumental in driving the
nation's economy onto the rapid growth curve. According to the Nasscom-Deloitte
study, the Information Technology industry's contribution to the country's GDP has
increased to a share of 5.2 per cent in 2007, as against 1.2 per cent in 1998.
Further, the IT and BPO industries are poised to clock revenues worth US$ 64
billion by the end of fiscal year 2008, registering a growth of 33 per cent with exports
expected to cross US$ 40 billion and the domestic market estimated to clock over
US$ 23 billion, according to a study. Simultaneously, the Indian Information
Technology services market is estimated to remain the fastest growing in the Asia
Pacific region with a CAGR of 18.6 per cent, as per a study by Springboard Research.
a few million dollars in the early 1990s. The Government expects the exports turnover
to touch US$ 80 billion by 2011, growing at an annual rate of 30 per cent per annum
CAREER PROSPECTS
In the year 2006-07, the industry hired approximately 3, 80,000 people. Out of
these, the Information Technology sector hired 2, 00,000 people and the rest were
taken by Information Technology sector. The recruitment trends of some Information
Technology giants are given below:

Changes in information technology have the potential for impacting the way in
which individuals participate in politics, such as future online voting and registration,
and obtain information from government. Yet because of unequal access to
technology, the Internet may only increase turnout rates or information among those
who are already predisposed to vote or become engaged, broadening the gulf between
those groups that do and do not participate. Consistent with cross-national accounts of
the digital divide, our data on willingness to use information technology for political
purposes reveals a democratic divide individuals with higher education and income
are more supportive of digital democracy, and are more likely to participate in politics
online. Our research suggests the Internet may increase the participation gap based on
education and income, while reducing the disparities in participation based on age.
Overall support for different forms of political participation varied from a low of 48%
for online voting, to a high of 78% for searching for government information online.
Education emerged as the most important factors in the democratic divide. Support
for online voting and online registration were 19 and 22 percentage points higher
among individuals with a college degree compared to those with only a high school
diploma, holding other factors constant. This mirrors existing disparities in civic
participation, which are largely associated with educational differences. This suggests
that in order to close the democratic divide in cyberspace, as well as traditional
politics, education will be crucial as well as access to technology
Competitive conditions

No industry in market is free from threats, so the threats and rivalry or the
competitors are common in the business. This can be easily explained with the help of
the Five Forces Model of Porter.
1. In the Five Forces Model, Porter explains that in any industry there are
five forces that influence what happens within the industry:
The porters model helps us to identify our business competitors and the threats.
Information Technology business is never out of threats and Rivals. Information
Technology companies have many compotators as well as threat of new entrains, as
Information Technology is never ending as it is coming with new and new
innovations to reduce the work load. The Information Technology business is still a
child in this sector. The life for this sector in very long. So the new companies are
entering into this business day by day.
Competitors:Those companies which are providing the same services which we are
providing in the market. The companies which want to overtake our company by
providing the same services to the customers.
New Entrants: These are the companies which are coming into the same market to
provide the same service, which is been right now provided by us and by our
compotators. These are entering into market to compete with us.
Customers: Customers are the people who need software and web sites for their
organization. All the people who need internet for the day to day transactions to run
their business.
Suppliers: In Information Technology sector there are very less physical suppliers,
but the Information Technology companies suppliers are the companies who will
provide them by there needs to develop a software and web site. Some of them are the
domain name provider, templates provider, programmer writers.
Substitutes: Other means and sources for the same products, web hosting, designing,
web maintaining, securities for web sites.
Using the five forces, we can get a clearer picture of the business environment
in which our Website competes.
Future Ahead: The Indian Information Technology sector continues to be one of the
important sectors which will lead, India to become a developed country.

Style:
Infosys believes that leadership is one of the most essential ingredients of
organizational success which is provided by its Chairman, N R Narayanmurthy.
Leadership is based on high business vision and predominantly supportive styles.
There is emphasis on developing leadership qualities among employees. For this
purpose, it has established "Infosys Leadership Institute". Top management
emphasizes on open door policy, continuous sharing of information, takes inputs from
employees in decision making, and builds personal rapport with employees. As we
have seen over last few years, we have seen smooth transition from N R
Narayanmurthy to Nandan Nilakeni and from Nandan Nilakeni to Kris Gopalkrishnan
without any adverse effects on the company outlook and each one has proved to be an
able leader taking company forward.
Staff (Human Resources):
Since Infosys is in knowledge-based industry, it focuses on the quality of the
human resources. Out of total personnel, about 90 per cent are engineers. At the entry
level, it emphasizes on selecting candidates who find the company's meritocratic
culture satisfying, superior academic records, technical skills, and high level of learn
ability. The company emphasizes on training and development of its employees on
continuous basis and spends about 2.65 per cent of its revenues on up gradation of
employees' skills, and around 50% as employee costs. In spite of thousands of people
joining every month, Infosys has been able to maintain its training standard mostly
due to its highly matured processes capabilities and investment in infrastructure.
Strategy:
Infosys has adopted a client-focused strategy to achieve growth. Rather than focusing
on numerous small organizations, it focuses on limited number of large organizations
throughout world. In order to cater its clients, the company emphasizes on custom-
built software’s. Another differentiating factor for Infosys is that it commands
premium margins. Company does not negotiate over margins beyond a certain limit
and some time prefers to walk-out rather than compromise on quality for low-cost
contracts. This has helped in building an image for quality driven model rather than
cost-differentiating model.
Shared Values:
15
Values are important part of Infosys's organizational culture. In fact its tagline depicts
how much emphasis it lays on core values. The core values are:
Infosys has entered the Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame for Executing Strategy for
achieving breakthrough performance results using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC).

Every year, approximately 19 million students are enrolled in high schools and 10
million students in pre-graduate degree courses across India. Moreover, 2.1 million
graduates and 0.3 million post-graduates pass out of India's non-engineering colleges.
While 2.5-3 percent of them find jobs in other fields or pursue further studies abroad,
the rest opt for employment in the Information Technology industry. If the flow from
high schools to graduate courses increases even marginally, there will be a massive
increase in the number of skilled workers available to the industry. Even at current
rates, there will approximately be 17 million people available to the Information
Technology industry by 2008.

The company can design a web site according to the customer needs. The
company can design a basic and super class model web site. The company follows
three format of web site designing, those are web1.0, web2.0(zumra) and web
3.0(Ruby on Rails) the rates of the web site will differ according to these formats and
the models. The company’s basic model starts from RS 3000 and the higher end
models goes to lacks and cores.
The higher end models include Flash, Sound, Videos, owner update capacity,
own E-Mail ID,chat room and many more facilities with high server service.
Opportunities:
The company finds a huge opportunity in this web designing because the
company says that, her are many companies are coming into the market and now
India is in growing in its no of internet users. so the company can trace the new
companies which are coming in and after providing them a web site will not end there
contact because no company will keep the same design and service for long type they
will update and for up dated they had to contact us again and also yearly they had to
revival there demine name. So for all these purposes they had to come back to us
again. So the company says that if they get a customer, then their relationship of
business will be never ending.
Threats:
There are many companies which are working as web designers. So the
competition it this field is growing rapidly. Catching the big customers is very
difficult in this big compotation business. The awareness of web site in small towns
and cities is very less.
Software development:
All the business are growing and all are trying to widen there business and to
do this there are taking the support of online business and software’s to support there
business. To standardize there business they use computer billing, bar-coding, cc-
camera e.t.c.
Opportunities:
31
There are many companies which are providing many hard drives which
support the business in many aspects. So the hard drive only can’t work for their
business, they need a specific form of software, which can work according to their
need and to make their business process easy.
Threats:
Many of the hard ware providers are using their own software for many
business people and the government offices and banks all call tenders for these
software’s of any other business orders.
Brand identity:
Today the company are not only concentrating on the selling and making
profit. Now a day the business people think of profit but not only on the present one
but now there are thinking the profit of the future. So in order to get more customers
towards then and to sustain the old customers with them for the future, they had to
build a strong identity that is of their brand. So now a day the brand identity is very
necessary to make a strong place in the market. Brand identity will be including
Stationary designing and visiting card designing and the posters and paper ads designs
and there stickers designs. All the things which will reach their customers which make
them attract to make a business with them.
Opportunities:
Providing an attractive brand identity to a business is not so easy, so the
company had tried in and got a good result in it. There are very less companies which
are into brand identity business and we are one among them. There are very few
competitors in this brand identity sector. So by our impressing work we can overtake
the other few companies and make our own way in this sector of market.
Threats:
The brand conscious in metro city is not a problem, but in other r big cities
like mysore,hubli,davangere,shimoga,manglore and many ore city which have good
business in many sector they don’t have the brand conscious. And the business people
who are well success in their business in their own Reagan are not aware of the
benefits from the brand building.
Packing designing:
32
Packing has its own place in the marketing place. Packing acts as a silent sales
man in the market. He packing is called as a silent sales man who won’t interact with
the customers, but it will make a customer to buy the product by the designs and
colors of the packs. Sometimes the products promotion will get famous by its
packing. One of the best examples for this is the Mb rice. This rice product had
created smash sales in the beginning and after 3 months the company got shutdown to
the defective product inside the packing.
Opportunities:
The packing designs are getting famous now a days and many companies are
believing that packing matters to their products promotion and sales. In this sector
also there are only a few companies into this business, because till now the pickings
were designed by the people who were working for the banners and outdoor
advertisements, but now the companies are coming into the professional who
particularly designs the attractive packs. Now this is just the beginning and we can see
that all the companies are concentrating on their pickings.
EX: Dairy fresh ice cream, shanthala silks, Videocon, Dabur, Tele phone
companies.
Threats:
The only threat in this sector is that the small outdoor advertisers and the flex
printers in the local areas. These people will directly contact them with their local
links and they will make the designs for free if they get the flex printing and the
outdoor ads for free of cost.
Logo designing:
Logo means a design or a sign which denotes a message or which gives an
identity of a company or a organization. Now the logo also works as a brand identity,
which creates a standard of the products. Some logo’s acts as prestigious.
EX: FILA, adidas, Rebook, Pepsi, coke e.t.c
Opportunities:
33
There are many companies in the market who don’t have their logo and there
are many companies in the market who want to change their logo according to their
business are changing. So there is a huge demand for the logo designers.
Threats:
There are many competitors in this field. And many old people don’t want to
change their logo which had come from their grandfather’s days.
Web Hosting:
Our host rating system is based on the customer satisfaction, affordability,
reliability, uptime and technical support. Probably the most critical success factor in
E-Commerce is the web hosting platform and server performance. Website hosting
and your web server needs to be economical, robust and web administration friendly
to ensure swift server response time, uptime, download speeds, database applications,
e-mail functioning and bandwidth
Opportunities:
We are giving the cheapest rate in the market as compared to other companies
in market. So the customers prefer us to give their business.
Threats:
The old companies in the market are providing the hosting the sites of their
clients for full free. This will affect us in the market to grow faster.
E-MAILS:
Email ids are that the company provides separate email ids for the customers as per
their preference. In this if the customer wants email ids less than 50 it will be under
the domain name of Google and if they want more than 50 a separate domain name
will be given. E.g. rajesh@xxx.com,ramesh@xxx.com
Opportunities:
As now a day the companies are now doing more online business, the
companies need to deal with the E-Mail. So the companies now a day’s want to have
their own companies id.
Threats:
34
As many companies who are starting newly are not ready to invest on this.
And the existing companies do not come to know till we inform them regarding this
plan.
Web maintenance:
Web maintenance is that the company takes care of editing the information
according to the customer’s requirement and the charges for this web maintenance is
charged on hourly basis.
Opportunities:
If a company gets its website then they had to upgrade at the time being and
they had to consult us back to update their website.
Threats:
Many of the company will open there websites and they won’t look up to their
websites and they won’t update it at the regular time being.
Working Capital:
The detailed working capital estimates are to 25 lacks invested business
started in kasergood and Mangalore branch. No bank loons are taken from banks.
Selling arrangement: The Sales are directly handled by the directors itself with the
help of qualified Staff of the company through commission agents & brokers.

Competition Analysis
The website and content would be thoroughly analyses for the presence and
density of the chosen keywords. We would also be reviewing your website for
usability and adaptability with major search engines. Your website would also be
checked for web-design standards and compliance. Compliance of SEF (Search
Engine Friendly) of various types of sites is checked. For e.g. the seo and sef for a
Joomla based site would be different from what a static site would require.
Our SEO specialists would code-optimize the website based on expertise and
experience gained in optimizing various websites over a period of 4 years. Websites
are code-optimized according to over 250 parameters identified by our experts and
ensure that websites are crawled by search engine crawlers and eventually rank higher
on search engines. Different practices are adopted for sites which are made on
different platforms. Again SEO for a Joomla based site could be different from SEO
for a Static Website.
The website would then be submitted and registered with directories such as
Yahoo, MSN etc. which facilitate data retrieval by search engines. This component
also includes research and selection of appropriate categories to which directory
submissions would be made.
A website's Google Page Rank (PR) will depend on the number of back links
it has and with an increase in the page rank of a website, improvement in page
rankings can also be expected. Our SEO Specialists would ensure that a
comprehensive link exchange program is undertaken with the objective of increasing
the link popularity and page rank for your website. These were just some of the things
we do to get website ranked higher on the world's best search engines.

We can observe hear that people search for the things need for them in net not
only in the company site but the visit other sites. In other sites they can get comments
on the product or service which they are searching in internet. The browsers will not
know the information about a product or services and they don’t know how to get it,
so they will take the help of the internet.
In internet there are many sites again they are confused in which site they get
the right information. So they will take the help of the search engine optimization.
Through this they can get the links of the sites which contain the information
regarding the product or service that you are searching.
Research Methodology
4.1 INTRODUCTION:
Problem Statement: “To analyse the awareness of search engine optimization with
respect to customers of Foradian Technologies,Bangalore”.
42
The survey was limited to a city and the number of customers of Foradian
company was less as it was a new company in the market.
Many of the business people wonder at many times that is his business making the
most out of the Internet. Is he is the only using the Internet for faster and more
43
efficient communication while his competitors are making money on it? Is there more
that can be done using the World Wide Web?
Now assume that a company is looking for a supplier in India, the first thing
he will do is Search on the Internet. While searching he will come across millions of
results, but he will limit yourself to the first, second or say maximum the third page.
He would then shortlist 3-4 suppliers from there and begins his choose. This is how
the supplier in India bags does business. Now imagine if this supplier was not listed
on top rankings, he would have lost out on the opportunity to get the orders.
Data Collection:
Primary data: A survey would be conducted on “search engine optimization”
to determine how internet search engines are playing its role as a useful marketing
tool. Questionnaires had been distributed among the customers to conduct the survey.
For clarifications and suggestions, the respondents are dealt personally. In this way,
information had been collected from the customers to attain the objectives of the
survey/ research.
Secondary data: Secondary data had been collected through internet to get
the information about the current market benefits from search engines.
Sample frame:
Sample frame selected under this study from which we derive the sample unit.
The sample frames for the study are Bangalore, Davangere and shimoga city.
Sampling unit:
The sampling unit of this survey will be Bangalore city, davangere and
shimoga. The areas visited will depend upon the location of business, business
enterprises, professionals, trading concerns etc who will be referred to for collecting
the information.
Sampling design:
A decision has to be taken concerning a sampling unit before selecting sample.
Sampling unit had been chosen according to the geographical area such as a city,
state, district, village, country etc.
44
Sampling technique:
Sample technique was use to do survey which was conducted. Only the
business people were interviewed to know that how much the companies are
interested and aware of SEO.
The different types of sampling methods used in the study are
1. Convenience sampling:- This sampling was used because all the business
peoples were not in a position to spend their time for our survey.
2. Purposive sampling:-Where information is obtained from the specific targets-
respondents who will be able to provide the desired information. So I had
interviewed the people who can spend their time for us for few minutes.
Area limit:
My study was limited only to Bangalore city.
With the object of knowing consumer attitude towards “To analyse the
awareness of search engine optimization with respect to customers of Foradian
Technologies, Bangalore’’ and to know the customers respond to the topic.

with the help of SEO and by this they can tackle these customers
towards them.
• To give some basic idea about their product to the new customers to
whom the company is targeting. A brochure should be made and given
