Mentoring System
Business Case
Client needed a SharePoint 2013 site that was to be used by their customers (Mentors/Mentees) The site needed to have both intranet and internet exposure with different user base and security needs. Members could register themselves either as Mentors or Mentees. All the users (i.e. internal admins, and mentors) had to use the same set of data but with different privileges. Functionality to manage these users and other custom data was to be provided. Apart from these, functionality to generate custom reports was needed. Also system is supposed to create partnership between mentor and mentees based on availability.
