Case Study: Business Software Company, Elegant MicroWeb Builds Digital Library Portal for Gujarat Tourism, India

The Gujarat Tourism organization promotes tourism within the state and provides support for visitors and residents with comprehensive travel assistance and services including accommodation, conducted tours and ground transport and a wide range of choice to meet the diverse needs of visitors and to promote the many historic sites and sites of interest in Gujarat. As part of this charter, The Tourism Corporation of Gujarat generates extensive digital content in the form of videos, photos and images, brochures, documentaries, advertisements and other data. In the past, the users of the tourism department had to engage in a complicated manual process to review each data repository one-by-one and select content because there was no one tool to easily search integrated data or allow users to share content with other stakeholders.

The Elegant MicroWeb team built and implemented a centralized digital library portal to categorize and search content and share the digital content with internal and external stakeholders. Content includes images, videos, sound files and documents, so users can now download information and digital content files and convert any content from one format to another, and invite others to access and download the content from the portal. This project was completed on time and on budget.
