I need a proposal for my company. We are looking for an email solution we are looking at Google Aps, Zimbra, and of course Exchange. I am supposed to review them all and return a proposal with My suggestions.
I have chosen Google Apps Education Edition in conjunction with Blackberry for the immediate Administration and possibly offering them to the teachers.
My administration are skeptical about providing Blackberries for the company because they see the cost as being more that it's worth. We have a major communication problem in the school and NEED Blackberries to improve our communication, however, convincing them that they should spend thousands of dollars to buy us Administration all new Blackberries is more difficult than it seems being I am working outside of the US where such technology is not as common as in America.
By choosing Google Apps we do not have to pay thousands of dollars for local servers etc, and I think Google is by far the best application for email, not to mention that the Education Edition is free to schools.
So, Basically I need a proposal outlining WHY we need to have blackberries and WHY Implementing Google Apps + Blackberry is a fundamental step we need to take to improve our administration, school & Teachers.
Proposal should not be more than 5 pages, it should be clean, clear, professional and be able to convince a technological infant that this is Must Have!
I would write this myself but being that I love and feel so strongly about both products/services I seem to have a mental block where I have so much to say I can't say anything at all!
I contacted Blackberry & google and I have their informationals as well for assistance if you need it.
Bidders should have serious love affairs with both companies and really enjoy writing such a thing.
Thanks!
