Dear Mr. Ford:
As you are aware the city is constantly having to change out computer systems after three years to keep up to date with the latest and greatest technology and software. Virtual desktop infrastructure is here to change all of that. VDI can allow your systems to be upgraded constantly without the need for constant hardware replacements. On your recommendation, I am enclosing my proposal for your review.
I am confident that I can complete this project within the designated time period and close to (or under) budget. I also believe that my recommended approach will have credibility with the users involved.
I mailed your IT Director a separate copy of my proposal so that he has time to review it before your meeting on Friday. If either of you has questions before or during the meeting, please give me a call. I will be in the office all day Thursday and most of Friday morning.
Sincerely,
Lois McGuthrie
IT Consultant
Enclosure

    After reviewing Roberts’s content minus a couple area’s is well thought out and well organized. Project looks to be scoped out very well and all the major milestones are laid out. Project is full of detail and information a company would require when looking at a project. The scope does not tell us how many computers are considered in scope to know if the project timelines are realistic. Timelines of project seem very compressed and unrealistic because lack of scope clarity. Robert’s project plan should not be missing a budget; even if you have not worked through all the numbers, you should have something as a placeholder. Couple keys points; I do not believe programmers can complete a new software in ten days, unless you are paying them close to $200 a month.…
