...If you want to add a lot of prose about company background and your opinion about what should be done, that is fine but not what I'm looking for. I want you to give quantitative responses to steps 6 and 7, and clearly and concisely discuss this information. For Step 6 look for product line documents/websites on national imaging dealers (e.g. Kyocera, Canon, Minolta, etc.). For Step 7, complete the chart and discuss the common IT priorities.
