WhatATour LLC.
Site Extension Project

Short Paper

The need to extend the official website of WhatATour LLC to incorporate third parties products for advertisement looks imminent. This research found that some distant third parties, like in the third world, lack enough expertise to cater exposure to the web. The primary means of reaching out to potential customers is astonishingly based on word-of-mouth, followed by standard mails and old fashioned pamphlets. WhatATour (WAT) foresee a reasonable revenue generation by partnering with these clients and take charge of reaching out to their customers by having them use a portion of the website. At this time, WAT has over a hundred thousand visitors each day and of them, around 20% are loyal customers.
This partnership works on a contract basis. Potential clients are brought into an agreement to display their products, primarily the travel packages, in the official website of WAT and, as a result, pay a certain price of each visit by potential customers. There is a time limit for each product to display and clients have the rights to extend the period, edit, or modify and features of their products within the allowed time.
WAT aims to recover approximately 20% of its advertisement and marketing expenses through this agreement over the next year. The management aims to expand their marketing and advertisement efforts by proportionate percent annually.
I, as a project manager for this extension project, and an internal employee managing the IT department, can’t emphasize more to the profitability of this venture, and have niched out the entire strategy to handle this massive project. The approval of my project plan by senior management is a big step in attaining my goal here. Over the weeks, I have gather all the essential information, resources and expertise to handle this project with confidence. The timeline is consistent with the workflow and proposed go-live schedule of the company.
