BCIS 1305 Central Texas College Business Computer Proposal Paper

 

 

What is a Business Proposal?

A business proposal is a formal presentation of a solution to a problem.
In our case: the required update of the local office of a notional company.

The presentation is made using a PowerPoint and a multi-page Word Document. (10+ pages)
They both need to look professional and show why your proposed course of action should be approved.

Do an Internet search for Business Proposals to learn more; note there are many types. Include at least three URLs of where you researched Business proposals at the very end of your Proposal Document (don’t forget date visited).

A typical proposal document will include the following:

• A cover page (required)
• A table of contents to find pertinent paragraphs (required)
• An Executive Summary – for management to quickly figure out what it’s all about. (Must be short!) (required) (Explain very briefly what you want and why)
• An explanation of the task (Explain what you propose and why)
• Recommend a solution
• Your qualifications (to help us understand why we should listen to you)
• Show options and prices (explain your process, embed spreadsheet and charts, show how prices are affected by components)
• Benefits of your solution (Why your recommendation is best)
• Other pertinent items (What it will take to implement the acquisition)
• Your contact information
• Any other references (including those three URLs / dates)

This is accompanied by a visual presentation (PowerPoint) in support.
You or your boss will be doing the briefing. Include the salient points with tables, charts, and graphics. Often there are some speaker notes, and a hidden slide or two with a different option, should management want to go a different route. Be sure to use a header or footer and include at least a slide number.

Suggested Procedures:

• Write what you think is important, then arrange things to ensure proper flow.
• When you are done, write the executive summary.
• Then start the PowerPoint to support your document.
• Spell-check, grammar-check both. Then read for errors and flow.
• Adjust as needed.
• Check to see if you met all the requirements of this assignment.
• If satisfied, then submit it (upload each in SIMnet).
