essential resources in the solution development process because
this helps in communication process.
Technology: Technology, or as it is sometimes referred to, the
modification and manipulation of the human environment, is
the application of scientific knowledge to the practical goals of
human life. Technology like zoom and online meetings are
useful in solution development process.
Documents: A document's main goal is to make it easier for its
readers to receive information from its author. It is the
responsibility of the author to structure the work in such a way
that the data it includes may be interpreted correctly and
effectively. The author can employ a variety of stylistic devices
to achieve this. Marketing strategy, sales strategy. Annual report
are some of the documents that are required in solution
development process.
Budget: A budget is a financial plan that projects future
earnings and costs. A budget put simply, forecasts future
spending and saving in addition to anticipated income and
expenses. Having a budget promotes financial stability. A
budget makes it simpler to pay bills on time, accumulate an
emergency fund, and save for significant costs like a car or
home by keeping track of spending and sticking to a plan.
Overall, having a budget gives a person more financial stability
for both the short and long term.

Theft of Information
Data leak is the procedure whereby private data is seen,
obtained, or taken by a foreign entity without authority,
resulting in the cybercriminals hacking the business resources.

Advantages:
IT costs have been lowered.
Switching to cloud technology might help you save money on
repairing and controlling your IT infrastructure. Instead of
acquiring costly hardware and software for the company, you
may save money by utilizing the services of your cloud
computing provider.

Extensibility
The company can swiftly either increase or decrease its
operating and storing requirements to fit current demands,
giving them mobility as their needs change. Instead of obtaining
and implementing costly upgrades manually, the cloud
computing service provider may do it for you. Using cloud
saves you time, allowing you to focus on operating your
business.
Partnership effectiveness
Collaborating in a cloud system enables the company to interact
and exchange more readily than conventional ways. If you are
completing a task in many places, you may utilize cloud
technology to provide access to the same information to
workers, subcontractors, and foreign entities.

Auto update availability


The service cost may involve accessibility to automated
upgrades for business IT needs. The platform would be

to obtain a contract unless we delivered the designs
promptly and with as little resources as possible. In these
cases, I am not scared to ask questions in order to solve the
problem. I conduct significant study for each customer so
that I am well-prepared.
Weaknesses
 I have a tendency to be harsh on myself, which may lead to
bad self-talk and, eventually, exhaustion. I've discovered
that I can prevent this by writing down my ambitions,
targets, and critical accomplishments and making time to
recognize both major and minor achievements and
successes. Not only does this enables me to concentrate on
how I can aid the team, but it has also assisted me in
enhancing my ability to prioritize my most important duties.
Areas needing improvement:
Procrastination has long been one of my terrible habits. To be
honest, I believe it springs from a fear of failure. Keeping up
with appointments and other documentation was key to my
previous career as a real estate agent. To better organize my
time, I started utilizing Google Calendar and tools like Trello.
Crossing items off my to-do list helps me feel successful, and
I've learned to tackle more difficult activities first thing in the
morning when I'm feeling refreshed and less prone to
procrastinate.

consequence, the cash flow would be significantly strained.

Sub: Regarding your approval implement the proposed solution

Dear All,
I've created a brief and related documentation for the cash flow issue. As you are aware, the
development of our firm needs a large rise in working capital. Revenue is likely to increase,
whereas profit margins are predicted to decrease. As a consequence, the cash flow would be
significantly strained.
As you can see from the brief, it is recommended that a discount scheme be introduced for
customers who prepay for our merchandise. According to the risk analysis, this is expected to
boost our liquidity as well as customer retention and satisfaction, demonstrating that this option
is feasible and that the benefits outweigh the risks and expenses.
We have also finalized the project report regarding the current situation with all the attachments
required. Please go through the report before coming to approval decision and do not hesitate to
contact me for any queries.
Hoping for a positive response. I am expecting the approval no later than 10th November 4, 2022
Please let me know if I can be of any help.
Regards,
