I need help or a template on writing a proposal for a fledgling company who is developing their IT infrastructure. I am fortunate to start at ground zero and from the technical side I am fully qualified to handle the job. My problem is I am not well versed on busine-eze and writing proposals. A template or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I found this one for you. You'll probably want to add to it but it gives you a framework to work in.

(remove spaces from the above URL)

If you haven't already done so, you need to talk to the people who actually want the systems to find out what they want in terms of solutions to their business problems.

If/when you have that, the rest will tend to fall in place as you'll be able to decide what software will be suitable to help them and from that, what infrastructure needs to be in place to provide it.

If the company doesn't know what it wants to achieve with its IT infrastructure... then you're stuck. You cant write a proposal of any worth to them.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Tim.
