BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL 2
Introduction
WidgetsUnited is a company that provides widgets for various industries. The company's computing systems need to be upgraded to ensure efficient and reliable performance. Our team has researched various vendors and manufacturers to identify the best options within the budget of $25,000. We have recommended purchasing Dell OptiPlex 7070 Tower and Small Form Factor PCs, as they offer the best value for the money while meeting the minimum requirements.
In this proposal, we will explain why we recommend Dell OptiPlex 7070 and how it will benefit WidgetsUnited.
Background.
Computing systems are essential for any business to perform its operations effectively. However, these systems need to be updated with time, resulting in decreased efficiency and productivity. WidgetsUnited has been using its existing computing systems for several years and now needs an upgrade. Our team has conducted thorough research to identify the best options available within the budget of $25,000.
Methodology
To find the best computer systems for WidgetsUnited, we conducted a thorough market investigation involving looking into different computer suppliers and makers. After examining the goods, we found four choices that satisfy the minimum standards and fall within the predetermined price range.
