Executive Summary

This project was undertaken in Stellar Information Systems for 8 weeks for the partial fulfilment of the course. My Industry Mentor Mr. Mani Bassi (Branch Manager), to cover the entire Delhi-NCR region to brand and promote Stellar Information Systems Ltd. This was a sincere effort from my side to explore the awareness regarding data recovery in the market and the brand image of Stellar.

The main objective of this study is to explore the market opportunities for the company and the mindset of the target market regarding Data recovery services in India. I adopted Exploratory as the research design for this project as the problem at hand was not specific and defined. Research was done through personal interaction with clients and interview with IT-head of different corporate by a questionnaire.

In my two months of conquest, I found that awareness regarding the data recovery was low and the image of Stellar was of a high end service provider. Target market found the pricing of services and software’s offered by Stellar are very expensive.

WHAT IS DATA RECOVERY

Data Recovery basically means taking files that were once damaged or corrupted due to natural disasters, virus attacks, user errors, software errors or hard drive failures and restoring or retrieving the data in those files. As the instances of hacking and virus cases escalate, so will the number of people needing help with their data. Well, it's really not black magic or rocket science. It's just a matter of having the right tools and the knowledge necessary to know what to do, much like a surgeon performing heart by-pass surgery. Many prominent data recovery facilities have a large array of hardware, software and tools for recovering data. Generally speaking when a hard drive is received by a data recovery firm, the first thing they do is evaluate it, and determine what recovery solution will be necessary. If the drive failure is a logical issue as mentioned earlier, then a scan of the drive will be performed to try and repair the file system corruption. Sometimes a partition can be repaired and the drive restored to the status that it was before the failure. If this is not possible, then a very low-level scan will be performed that essentially searches every sector of the hard drive for files. Once the files are located, they can then be copied to the media of choice, i.e. a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM or another hard drive. Logical recoveries can take up an enormous amount of time, especially if the drive is on the verge of physical failure. It's not uncommon to allow for one day of scanning and a day for recovering the found files. If the drive has suffered a physical failure, then the recovery procedure is quite a bit more challenging. As mentioned above, there are really two sub-categories of physical failure; mechanical and electronic. An important element in recovering data from a physical failure is having the necessary parts to get the drive functioning again.

Types Hard disk Crash

Physical Crash:- When drive is making a ticking or a scratching noise due to age or bad parts the aperture arms in the hard drive can fail ,failed motors or the platters can become damaged and lose the data that they hold. Physical damage could also be due to mishandling of the drive or circuit failure of the PCB board which is attached to the hard drive . Physical damage always causes at least some data loss, and in many cases due to physical damage the logical structures of the file system also may get damaged , all such damages constitute physical crashes of the hard drive. Another physical issue that sometimes rears its ugly head is an electronic failure. If you look at a hard drive you will notice a circuit board on the bottom . This board is basically the brains of the drive , and it is where the computer interfaces to the hard drive. An electrical failure can occur unexpectedly at any time .Even brand new hard drives are not totally immune to have electrical failures .Sometimes it’s just a faulty component; sometimes it’s improper installation( i.e. electro-static discharge, grounding out the board , damaging circuitry during installation).

Page 9: Project of Marketing On Stellar Information Systems Ltd

Logical Crash:-Far more common than physical damage is logical damage to a file system. Logical damage is primarily caused by human error which includes accidental deletion of files, accidentally formatting drive and power outages may cause file system structures getting damaged. Logical failures are usually a result of file system corruption. This can occur due to a virus accidental deletion of key files or registry components and in some cases even electro-static discharge. In most cases where a logical failure has occurred, the drive is still recognized by the system BIOS, but it will not boot. In most cases your data should still be intact on the drive, even though it may appear to be inaccessible.

STELLAR VALUE DELIVERY SYSTEM:

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

17 | P a g e

Page 19: Project of Marketing On Stellar Information Systems Ltd

Marketing research is the process collecting and analyzing marketing information and

ultimately arriving at certain conclusion. Management in any organization need information

about the potential market and to design plans as per the changing Market scenario.

Marketing research includes all the activities that enable an organization to obtain the vital

information. This research is very important in strategy formation and Promotion of the

company.

There are many type of research some are causal, descriptive, explorative etc. each research

type is being used for various purposes. In this research I have used explorative research

methodology; I tried to figure out opportunities and future threats lying in the market for

Stellar Information Systems Ltd. and tried to promote the company and enhance its

awareness in the market.

Research design is the plan, structure and strategy of investigation conceived so as to obtain

to research problem and control variances. It is the specification of methods and procedures

for acquiring the information needed. It is overall operational pattern or framework of the

project that stipulated what information is to be collected and from which source and by what

procedure.

TYPE OF RESEARCH CARRIED OUT: -

In my project work I used exploratory research, as it aim to answering question about sale, brand availability, service quality, etc. In the new era of globalization there is immense competition between various brands. Thus in the new age marketing brand image is extremely crucial & awareness of brand image leads to increase in sales. Dealers play a vital role in positioning the brand at the right place & at the right time. They are the basic marketers of a product & basically help in creating a picture frame in the consumers mind about the image of the product. Thus utmost importance must be given to dealer’s satisfaction & emphasis should be given on meeting their requirement.

MY FIELD WORK :-

18 | P a g e

Page 20: Project of Marketing On Stellar Information Systems Ltd

To meet with clients (3rd parties as well as Corporate) Maintain Clients relationship. Identifying new clients, managing existing clients. It’s not a sales job as such with targets but we need to promote our company products. The main products of our company are related to data recovery(software’s). Our software’s come in different suites like (Enterprise suite, Business+ suite,

Business suite, Standard suite & PST suite) So basically we are supposed to explain the details of these software’s with their use

and validity.

DATA COLLECTION & SAMPLING

19 | P a g e

Page 21: Project of Marketing On Stellar Information Systems Ltd

To achieve the objectives, the primary as well as secondary sources of data are used.

PRIMARY DATA

SECONDARY DATA

PRIMARY DATA:

Primary data is that kind of data which is collected by the investigator himself for the purpose

of the specific study. The data such collected is original in character and authentic. We

interviewed without any structured set of questions just to know the brand awareness of the

company. The valuable feedbacks, knowledge about company, perception towards its

products are some primary data for my research work.

SECONDARY DATA:

When an investigator uses the data that has been already collected by others is called

secondary data. The secondary data could be collected from Journals, Reports and Various

Publications. The advantages of secondary data can be economical, both in the term of money

and time spent. The company past reports, various websites, books, and assistance from

company employees are my secondary data used in this research.

The data were collected through the following methodical techniques in the present project

work.

1. Through interview

2. Through observation

INTERVIEW METHOD:

20 | P a g e

Page 22: Project of Marketing On Stellar Information Systems Ltd

Interview method helps in getting an insight into the prospective clients mind. I adopted this

method as I needed to promote my company in the market as well as try building an image

among them. This helped me in gathering personal and professional information regarding

data recovery as well the image of stellar in the market. For this purpose, various questions

were asked randomly to the customers and their vital feedbacks were collected. With this

method I was also able to clear the doubts of the customer regarding data recovery issues

such as data leakage and data revival possibility in case of physical data damage.

OBSERVATION METHOD:

During the project work, I contact the 3rd parties and Corporate particularly and find their

opinion about the Stellar Information Systems. In the observation method the researcher

himself collects the necessary information by observing the phenomenon. Observation may

be conducted on in the natural field or in the form of experiment . I used uncontrolled

observation that takes place in the natural setting. Agents and customer are free to express

their felling about the product and services offered by the company. The observation method

gave me an idea about the satisfaction level of customer and agents and gained the precious

knowledge about the market situation which made me understand the need of data recovery

in different form of business (manufacturing companies, service companies, 3rd parties etc..) .

SAMPLE COLLECTION

Data has been collected from various areas and agencies (3 rd Parties as well as

Corporate).

Sample size of agents covered: 1000

Other information related to project has been taken from company website.

TYPES OF SAMPLING DESIGN

STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLING : - A stratified random sampling is

divided into mutually exclusive and mutually exhaustive strata or sub group and

then a simple random sample is selected with in each of the strata or sub group.

Reasons :-

1. As I was assigned various areas in and around Delhi.

2. Clients (3rd parties & Corporate) were homogenous in nature which was

studied exhaustively.

Page 28: Project of Marketing On Stellar Information Systems Ltd

FINDINGS:-

Based on the data acquired from the one to one interaction with people at 3 rd parties’ agency and corporate, the following are the diagnosed business problems:

Pricing of the services and software’s provided by Stellar is 4-5 times more than the local vendors.

Large corporate are satisfied by the high quality performance delivered by Stellar. One of the major problems is lack of professionalism in the area of Business

Development. They highly lack communication skills, client satisfaction, service orientation which is the imperatives of this trade.

3rd Parties are sceptical about sending the hard disk to stellar as they find their customers unwilling to pay high price.

Stellar having its presence strategically placed in 12 major cities helps it to get business PAN India.

Class 100 Lab standing as its USP is highly attractive for the corporate and data security guarantee plays pivotal role in alluring those who fear going to kinara vendors for data recovery and get themselves vulnerable to duplication and data leakage.

LIMITATION:-

Complete Delhi region could not be studied exhaustively but relatively 1000 companies and 3rd parties were taken into consideration.

Some of the clients were unwilling to devote time and information needed for this project.

Few of the data was collected using the help of the internet which may or may not be 100% accurate.

Scorching heat at times left me exhausted and sapped my energy which again was a big hurdle.

27 | P a g e

Page 29: Project of Marketing On Stellar Information Systems Ltd

SUGGESTIONS:-

Need to increase the sales force. Pricing needs to be competitive and hence there needs to be reduced. Needs to market itself aggressively tap the large developing market. Attractive incentives and rewards needs to be given to 3rd parties to allure them into

giving their major chunk of business. Major business for WIPE software lies with the CAs and law firms and hence special

attractive packages needs to be designed.

28 | P a g e

Page 30: Project of Marketing On Stellar Information Systems Ltd

CONCLUSIONS:-

Lately, in India, an increase in the level of competition and market demands, together with increased dependence on technology for core business processes has necessitated the need for data recovery by companies. Another sector which has grown tremendously is the software and ITES sector. As corporate networks get complex and data capture and storage becomes challenging, the industry is bound to see a shift towards replication of critical resources, business applications and processes. Data recovery as a networking solution, although new at this point of time, will become routine for corporate in near future. Hence it is very necessary for the company increase its brand value and position itself as the #1 Data Recovery Company.

29 | P a g e

Page 31: Project of Marketing On Stellar Information Systems Ltd

LEARNING FROM SIP:-

Theoretical Perspective :- Do’s & Don’ts In case of Hard Disk crash:-

Check all the connections of the media (power and data connections). If this fails, try connecting the same media on another working machine. If the above measure also fails, confirm whether the controller card is Ok. If every above given effort fails, immediately stop working on the media and contact

us.

Don't run any repair utility because these utilities can further aggravate the problem. These utilities are made to rectify any anomalies in the file system & get you working and not to recover your data.

Don't let anybody, even your support engineer, experiment with the media. Don't work on the media.

Practical Perspective:

Client handling is a difficult task where in a thorough knowledge of your product and services and high degree of professionalism is required to undertake the task.

2 months of extensive marketing and promotional drive for stellar information systems ltd helped us to inculcate the various business models present in the market and changing perspective of data recovery as per the specific clients.

This project also helped me to implement the theoretical concepts of marketing imbibed by me in my PGDM into practical application in the real market scenario.
