Executive Summary
This section should be written last. It provides the reader with an overview of your business plan. This section includes a brief description of the business, the goal of your business plan, your customer’s market/clientele, their current “like” competition, and current business operations, and potential fiscal plan (fiscal plan may be assumed based on current manual process compared to pricing of automation).

Introduction/Conclusion
Introduction provides sufficient background on the topic and previews major points. Conclusion is logical, flows from the body of the paper, and reviews the major points.
Company Review
This section should summarize the information from your Stage I paper. Provide a basic industry outline. Is it a growth industry? What changes do you foresee in this industry, and how is this company poised to take advantage of them? Take the information from your Stage I paper and analyze the data. What is your analysis of their current business? This will require some additional outside research. Cite your sources.
Business Analysis
This is where you will provide an expanded review of your Stage II project where you will summarize that information and provide your analysis of this customer’s business. This section needs to be thorough and accurate so your customer understands the issues you’ve found. You must validate and substantiate the issues identified and why they are creating inefficiency and cost to the business. Why is automation viable? Why did you choose this specific HR function? This is where the current fiscal information should be placed. This may be completed based on theory. It should line up with your next sections of this business plan.
HRIS Type/Comparison
This is also information you would pull from your Stage II paper and research. You want to share the type of HRIS system you have reviewed and why. You need to expand on this comparison and include theory to substantiate. This is where you’re providing a clear review of different vendors. You want to make it understandable to your customer.
HRIS Recommendation
Pull together all of your research here. Share the vendor recommendation. You must validate and substantiate this recommendation. Just stating this is what “you think” would be the best vendor is not enough. You must show this customer that this “is” the best recommendation and why. Theory substantiates; what have other like companies used? This is where you include business risks, fiscal impact, impact on employees and customers, etc. Remember, you don’t want to “over sell” an HRIS system. Make recommendations that fit the needs of your analysis.
