If a concept or project has been proven to work in one community or region, it can often be exported to other communities or regions in the same country or abroad. While there are, of course, vast differences between countries and even between different parts of the same country, a good project will often be capable of being replicated elsewhere. We strongly believe that BOESL app has all the capabilities to be replicated.
BCC followed BNDA framework (designed following TOGAF v9 framework) in developing and maintenance of the mobile app. BNDA framework is established to meet the growing demands of the public & private sector organizations and citizens by providing integrated and inter-operable e-services in a more secure, reliable and efficient manner through usage of ICTs.
The BOESL app has created precedence of providing information-as-a-service for poor people of Bangladesh. Similarly, other govt agencies can impart data/info for citizen via mobile app on regular basis. BOESL has already taken initiative to extend the system's features and functionalities. Also, it has plan to conduct Promotional and Awareness seminar/workshop.
We think this app can be replicated to other developing or under developed countries. We assume it may need minor modification/customization to adapt the app for other countries. However, BCC and BOESL will be more than happy to take the responsibility of tweaking the system for replicating t other countries

We are assuming 'sustainability' as the ability of the BOESL app to continue its operational activities far into the future. All projects have to end eventually, but the project impacts need to continue. Peoples want to see how the mobile app and its impact will outlive their direct involvement in getting job opportunities from Govt. A project can be sustainable in three main categories: organizational, financial, and community sustainability.
Organizational: BOESL is a state owned company under Ministry of Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment, Government Of Bangladesh. Admin panel of BOESL app is hosted in national data center (maintained by BCC itself) and carrying out operation & maintenance of the system is accomplished by regular employees of BOESL. BOESL already chalked plan to extend features & functionalities of the app for generating revenue. BOESL is working closely with BCC in this regard. So there is no doubt about continuing operation of the mobile app by BOESL.
Financial: In a sense, BCC is providing technical assistance for BOESL in development and implementation of the mobile app. The app can act as a revenue generating source through imparting services related employment related value added service. For example, BOESL can take service charge from job seekers for getting specialized and personalized experience. It proves the system can be financially sustainable also.
Community: We are seeing positive response from poor and lower income people of Bangladesh in using the mobile app. They are able to save effort & expenditure that was otherwise needed to gather authentic info about job opportunities. Job applicants are able to submit feedback or complain to authority using the app. The app has gained popularity among NRBs as authentic and meaningful source of info regarding employment opportunities. So it can be opined that it's increasing community base also
