Hardware and Software Solution Proposal for Enhanced Business Operations

Create a Microsoft PowerPoint executive presentation outlining the hardware and software solution for a case study, including a brief overview of the agenda, purpose, and audience. The presentation should highlight the key features and components of the proposed solution, such as hardware devices, system unit components, productivity software, internet connectivity, and web services, with speaker notes that amplify the bullet points and address the requirements met.

Case Study Part 3 – MS Powerpoint Executive Presentation
Use the project description HERE to complete this activity. For a review of the complete rubric used in
grading this exercise, click on the Assignments tab, then on the title Case Study Part 3 - Exec Presentation
(Powerpoint)– click on Show Rubrics if the rubric is not already displayed.
To the maximum extent possible, utilize the rule of 7’s - no more than seven bullets per slide, and no more than seven
words per bullet.
Note: there are several tutorials on Power Point functions in the topic labeled "Optional Tutorials – Power Point project" in
the Readings list for Week 8.
The details of the hardware and software solution need to be in the slides.
The purpose of this presentation is to present the hardware and software solution for a decision that you defined in Case
Study –Part 1 (Word). For example, make and model of hardware and short description should be in the slide but be brief
and in bullet format. The speaker notes are for amplification. Slides with Speaker notes should contain at least four
complete sentences (in the notes section) each. Think of the speaker notes as what you would actually say during the
presentation. Also, if someone wants to review the presentation later, the speaker notes will provide sufficient information
for the reader to understand what you presented.
Points will be deducted for any spelling or grammatical errors either on the slide or in the speaker notes.
The summary MUST link the proposed solution to the requirements.
Create a presentation to outline your proposal to meet the case study requirements. Identify the purpose and audience
(the Director) for your presentation.
