One Blue Cloud is developing a mobile library management app called Librarize. Librarize is part of One Blue Cloud's School Management System suite of apps, which aims to modernize administrative tools for schools. Librarize allows a school's books to be checked out and returned using a smartphone, scanning book IDs with a QR code. This converts the phone into a handheld library system. One Blue Cloud plans to target the app at schools globally to help digitize outdated paper-based library processes. A prototype of Librarize demonstrates features like issuing, returning, and searching for books by student or book ID.

- 1. One Blue Cloud presents: ”librarize, a mobile app for library's administration demo-deck”
- 2. OBC business The One Blue Cloud business focuses on providing a mobile platform for speciffic areas: Education Health Government
- 3. Business Pain and the Business Model • PC’s will be bypassed by the Mobile to be the most widely accessible means of computing due to the relative low unit cost of mobile devices and their widespread acceptance and use • Problem Area: – Many business areas where software for administrative or service production purposes today is developed for and running on PC’s will have to be redesigned or reinvented for a new computing paradigm where mobile is the front end (GUI and local processing) and Cloud computing is the backbone (storage and tasks that demands more processing power) • The business model is centered around finding areas where business applications can be redesigned/reinvented/made viable for the first for the mobile/cloud paradigm and then developing the solutions and serve the new markets
- 4. Business Pain and the Solution (Prototype) • Focus on School Administrative Systems/ Pedagogical tools for Schools • Problem Area: – Control and oversight over school books that are distributed as loans to students at the beginning of the year and then brought back at the end of the year • Prototype makes it possible to check out and check in books to students using only a mobile phone with a low-res camera • Once book gets scanned, the data, book id, verified student id are automatically sorted in the cloud and accessible for the school authorities for administrative and other purposes.
- 5. Solution One blue cloud – new solutions for mobile and cloud computing: • One blue Cloud will seek to identify areas of the world where the new mobile – cloud computing paradigm will have the greatest impact, and then develop new and innovative solutions for administrative and service production purposes. • One Blue cloud will build on the strong growth of mobile devices, both smart and non-smart phones and other low-cost mobile devices like tablets. Coupled with storage and processing capacity from cloud computing it will allow us to develop new solutions than can be deployed in an extremely cost- effective way, even in countries with developing infrastructures and a low level of computing maturity today • One blue cloud will first target solutions be monetized in large markets where demand is huge, and the standards of living are growing.

- 7. Summary Librarize is part of the ”School Management System” suite, a system created to modernize schools administrative tools. Librarize is a mobile app that converts your smart phone into a librarian. This app would make agile the library procedure when talking about issuing, returning and searching for school books.
- 8. Prototype: presentation Presents the introduction screen. Names the company (One Blue cloud) and the product app (Librarize).
- 9. Prototype: login User login screen: request username and password for registered users. User id would be provided by OBC management system and requested at school administration.
- 10. Prototype: main menu Main functionalities: Issue a book Renew a book issued before. Reserve a book Search for a book. View book status. Help topics. Exit the app.
- 11. Books can be issued by student id or book id. Each book should have a QR code. When issuing a book by book id, the student can use the QR scanner of the smartphone and automatically fill the box. Prototype: Issue a book
- 12. Prototype: renew a book With book id the system validates the status of a certain book. When clicking ”Renew Book” button, if the book isn't reserved, another loan period would be granted.
- 13. Prototype: Return a book Just write or scan the book id, return the book to the returning place in the library and click ”Return Book”. The book status, if it isn't reserved would change to ”available”.
- 15. Prototype: search Search functionallity allows the student to view books status by id, title, student id or student name. In the case of a unique book id search, only one book is displayed. Information about status is shown. If loaned, return date is displayed.
- 17. Market Size • Target Market: Educational Institutes across the Globe (10 Top Schools per Top 10 Cities Per Top 25 Countries totaling to 2500 Schools) • Market size = number of buyers in the market (A) x quantity purchased by an average buyer in the market per year (B) x price of an average unit (C) • Number of Buyers (A) - 2500 Schools – To target top 100 - 250 schools in each geography (jointly with resellers/partners) • Quantity Purchased by an average buyer each year (B) - 1 Module per School – License Module for 1st Year – Annual Maintenance Contract from 2nd year onwards • Price of an average unit (C) - USD 10,000 per school approx. – Pricing model based per school OR – Pricing model based per user • Total Market Size = 2500*1*10000= USD 25,000,000 • Target Audience: – Schools – Colleges – Trusts
- 19. Partnerships • We will partner with the following entities for tool adoption – Educational bodies (Govt. and Private) – Educational Trusts (Public and Private) – Public, Private, International and Faith based Schools – Colleges (Arts, Commerce, Science, Law, Humanities etc) – Parents, Students and Teachers – NGO’s in the education space • We will partner with following entities for tool selling – Distributors for every country working with us on our Reselling Model – Capable of • Demonstrating the solution • Finding new opportunities in the market • Building Market awareness through events and other channels of marketing • Doing proof of concepts at sites to showcase the solution • Help with Sales through their extended sales force • Providing after sales support
- 20. Business Risks Operational risks - Security isn’t fully developed for mobile/cloud computing - Uncertain how mobile operating systems will develop (standards) - Network infrastructure – coverage , reliability and development Strategic risks - Competition for new developing markets will be fierce - New technology can change situation
