Executive Summary (Separate Page – to the non-technical CEO, manager, etc)

The UNIX operating system utilized by our company, XYZ Corporation, is responsible for supporting 350 employees as well as 6,000 customers. Our Apache web site is visited by 1,345 Internet users daily. This makes our UNIX infrastructure the most important company asset we have. As the systems manager, it is my responsibility to maintain a stable operating system that is available and responsive every minute of every day. For this reason, I am proposing funds to write a shell script that will expedite the process for finding various files and character strings regardless of their location in the UNIX file system structure. This particular script will save the systems administration department two hours of productive time each day. The additional 10 hours each week can be used by the systems administration team to provide even better employee and customer service for our users and web site visitors. The cost for developing this script is $350.00. The pay back period for this expense is one week. I am requesting permission to dedicate one assistant administrator for 10 hours to this project.
