Based on our interview we are recommending the following course of action for us to meet the needs of Pinnacle Resources Group. Pinnacle Resources Group is in need of an Internet presence that will make it the primary resource for information and ordering of their products. Pinnacle Resources Group also needs ane-commerce site for clients that will include details and high quality photographs for use by clients when selecting products. iGuide Media’s staff has the skills and experience required by Pinnacle Resources Group including programmers, web site designers and developers, and multimedia designers. We recommend that a large-scale web site be developed for Pinnacle Resources Group, which focus on two primary areas: First to drive clients to the e -commerce parts of the Pinnacle Resources Group web site and build a resource for clients that will achieve the goal of becoming the number one importer and distributor of Pinnacle in the United States. Secondly a large information section of the site will be built featuring interactive high resolution photography, client inventory management tool, and general information about Pinnacle Resources Group. The site provides clients with easy access to Pinnacle Resources Group’s staff.
The e-commerce portion of the site will be built so that orders will be integrated with SAP Business One software for inventory control and processing. Please contact us at your earliest convenience to discuss our recommendations. In order to complete the project within the outlined schedule and budget we will need to finalize any issues you may have within one week. iGuide Media looks forward to working with you on this project and we guarantee your satisfaction in all phases of this project.

In order to complete the project, iGuide Media will complete the following development tasks:
Assign a development team to the project. Your primary contact will be Brian Noon. Brian will oversee the project and communicate between your company and our development team.
Start the planning process after receiving all client-supplied material required. iGuide Media will plan the database programming and workflow of your site. A detailed “map” of the site will be constructed illustrating the different site elements and their respective relationships. Brian will work with you to design the layout and visual style of the web site. Once the design is created mockups will be created. Once you approve the mockups and all collateral material has been received the project development will start.
Develop the project based on the milestones in the project plan. A first draft of the web site will be created for you. You are allowed one round of change requests for the second draft (not to exceed the project specifications) after the first draft is presented. Change requests that are outside the scope of the original estimate and change requests after the second draft will be billed separately.
Test the project through both Alpha and Beta testing cycles. The web site will be tested after each round of proofs. You are also responsible for proofing the entire web site to check for missing features, errors, etc. Once we have tested the web site and you have tested and approved the web site it will be ready for launch.
Deliver and install the final project deliverables. Once approved the final web site will be installed on your web server. Once the website is installed and launched it will be ready to market and submit to various search engines.
Train staff based on the training plan. Brian Noon will provide up to one day of training on location for your staff on the usage of the web site. Technical support will be available after the initial training by phone and e-mail. 10 www.iguidemedia.com

The following constraints have been imposed on this project. Constraints determined to have an effect on our proposal are included below. iGuide Media strives to exceed your expectations and wants to make you completely satisfied with the services we offer you. Below you will find items that we have identified as possible constraints on web site development:
Access to SAP Business One API for development
Description: iGuide Media does not own or license SAP business software and therefore we rely on other partners for access to the SAP Business One software. Full access to the software is essential to creating an e-commerce site that is fully integrated with SAP Business One. This access is critical for testing the web site before deployment. Effect: Project schedule delayed and additional cost for increased programming time. Mitigation: iGuide Media uses Pinnacle Resources Group’s installation for development and testing.
