Be sure to include a description of the problem, the reason it exists, who is
affected by it, and the impact if it is not addressed.>

Tangible Benefits:

reason for choosing the solution.>

Cost Analysis
Resource Costs:
<List each type of resource required for the project, the amount of that resource
types time required, x loaded hourly rate = total,
e.g. 6 Java programmers x 500 hrs x $90 = $270,000. Add all the costs to arrive

Hardware Costs:

Add all the hardware costs for a Total Hardware Cost>

Software Costs:

Software Cost>

Recommendation:
<If there are no tangible costs, show the return on investment, or ROI, as far in
the future as can be reasonably forecast. Your forecast should show the project
yielding a profit. If there are intangible benefits to the project, and these will
constitute the ROI, justify that recommendation here>
