The Technical Writing Department of Bell Educational Supplies and Technologies (BEST) needs new computer equipment. Currently, the department has outdated hardware, outdated word processing software, an outdated printer, and limited graphic capabilities.
Because of these problems, the company’s user manuals, reports, and sales brochures are being poorly reviewed by customers. Further, BEST has no website for product advertisement and/or company recognition. All these factors have led to a decline in profits.

• Six new personal computers
• Two laser printers
• Word processing software
• Graphics software
• Scanner
