GCOM
GCOM (Gated Community Management System)
ABSTRACT:

Recent trends in urban housing real estate market has resulted in numerous Gated
Communities that provide residents excellent private infrastructure. A Gated community is
defined as a relatively large number of houses (either Apartments or independent houses)
surrounded by a security wall with a secure entrance gate. In case of apartments, a typical
community consists of several relatively high rise towers each consisting of several flats. In case
of Villas, the community consist of a relatively large number of independent houses. It is also
possible to have a mixture of apartment towers and villas in a community. Entrance to the
community will be through a gate manned by security personnel and is limited to residents of
the community or any one who is permitted by the residents or the management of the
community for providing services to the residents.  In addition to providing residences, these
communities typically provide several amenities like Gymnasium, Club House, Swimming Pools,
Salon, Child Care Centre, Grocery Store, Parks etc. The list of amenities varies depending on the
nature and size of the project.  Each community has a society managed by a board consisting of
elected representatives of the residents of the community. In Hyderabad alone, a large number
of these communities have come up in the recent years and many more are under construction.

Business development team has identified this as a great business opportunity to develop
software for managing a gated community. This software will be primarily used by the society.
This software helps the society and its board members manage and track the residents of the
community, track monthly membership dues owned by each resident, track membership for
other amenities. Some of the amenities are free while others involve additional monthly fees.
The functionality provided by GCOM 1.0 will include ability to add, remove, edit new residents
into the community, keep track of the financial details of the society and generate reports. In
the initial version GCOM 1.0, this will be a desktop client/server product. The plan is to offer
this as a software service in later versions.
