1. AMAR DESH E-SHOP (ECommerce)

Website link: www.amardesheshop.com
Amar Desh Eshop is the virtual market for the uprising of rural communities of Bangladesh. Everyday villagers come with their products –anything they produce even if it is just a gourd and catalogue it on the internet at the e-center.  A buyer from hundreds of miles away glances through the catalogue and places an order with an electronic card.  In less than two days he receives the product which he usually buys at a higher price from city markets. Back in the village, the producer receives a fair price as the money gets electronically transferred through a highly secured e-commerce payment gateway to her bank account upon delivery.
ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE RURAL ECONOMY
In rural societies, women are still not allowed to work outside their homes in most of the cases. But with proper training and guidelines and with an easy access to markets these women could have done much more in contributing to the economic development of their family and welfare of their children as most of them are found to be skilled in needlework or other forms of handiworks.  For example within Three months of the pilot implementation of the eMONGLA over 1150 women from nearby villages registered themselves with the e-center, all of them skilled in needlework. For the first time women of those villages are earning through what they thought was only a hobby!

Manufactures
Farmers
Farmers, who were previously left with no choice but to rely wholeheartedly on middlemen, now can be emancipated from this culture of dependency on the wholesalers and take control of their own business. By registering themselves at the e-centres and cataloguing all their vegetables, they can now sell their produce directly to the buyers. The e-center marketing team can offer them advice on how to best package their products in order to increase their value to the customers.

DATA BANK
As we can see from the Business Objective chapter the requirement to offer a true multi-channel service center are very wide. It is not just about bringing together the different input channels; it also requires efficient integration with the rest of the organizations IT to enable true change and deliver a cost effective joined up service. ADAG fosters a number of key platforms that come together to not just deliver a service center but can be re-used across the organization to deliver value from the front end to the back end. Before we understand how we can deliver the features that the business requires, it is important to understand what the platforms can deliver. The Data Bank is in fact the heart of this service center, it works not only as a case management system but also a development platform that can be customized to meet clients business requirements. This platform handles all of the case and records management for the organization as well as the contact records and activity records. The server supports intranet, extranet and web applications across the enterprise with one integrated platform, instead relying on separate fragmented systems. Additionally, this collaboration and content management server provides the platform and tools needed for server administration, application extensibility, and interoperability.
