This study aimed to measure exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) and assess venue compliance with the municipal Law against smoking indoors in public places in Muscat, Oman. Following the selection of 30 public indoor venues within the Muscat governorate, the concentration of suspended SHS particulate matter (PM2.5) in the venues' indoor air was measured throughout July and August 2010. Almost all of the venues were found to be compliant with the smoke-free municipal, with the exception of a café that served waterpipes for smoking indoors. The concentration of PM2.5 in this venue showed an average level of 256 µg/m(3) which was 64 times the level of that found in the non-smoking venues. Aside from one café, the majority of the assessed indoor public venues abided by the smoke-free municipal law. However, the enforcement of policies banning smoking in indoor public recreational venues should be re-examined in order to protect member of the public in Oman from exposure to SHS.

In this work is pretended to relate different classroom activities with the diversity of teacher training a Natural Sciences attended and its typologies in duration, in type of teacher training (short duration formations (3 to 6 hours), formation actions (12 to 25 hours) and training workshops (50 hours)). The first part of this presentation will report the Work in collaboration with NUCLIO (Núclio Interativo de Astronomia e Inovação em Educação) that was enhanced by one 50 hours teacher training workshop. In this part are presented several learning activities centered on students or in the teacher or the scientists but always gives privilege to the learning of students in an active way. The objectives of this annual project were to motivate students in sciences in general and space sciences in particular; to promote quality learning in these areas; to promote the learning of science in a multidisciplinary way and to promote learning through Information and Communications Technology. The challenge started with the participation in Workshops and Online Presentations about the Researchers European Night and Space Week of six 7th (5) and 8th (1) grade classes. This first part of the year permitted the students to have their first contact with scientists and with Space Sciences as well as to learn astronomy with their mobile phones. The three novelties were very motivating to the students because they were not used to them and it was really interesting for them. The zenith of the year was the participation in the European Project "Our Space Our Future" accompanied by the teacher training workshop. All 14 7th grade classes participate in the project. The initial idea was to promote it for the hour of the week when the Science Teachers were together with students in a multidisciplinary environment. But with time other teachers from different subjects came along. The project applied pre and post-tests. Two scientists from NUCLIO came to introduce the project, to motivate the students and to know what were the ideas of students about Space Sciences. The Teachers and Classes that did not have the opportunity to be introduced by the teachers’ trainers were introduced by their peers who were with the scientists, who became models to these teachers develop the activities on their own with the pairs, building a spirit of fellowship between peers. Is worth mention the support of the Teachers Trainers directly in the classroom and with teachers which built confidence on teachers to do it themselves. In the next session, the students explore the themes of Living in Space, Space jobs, and Investment in Space. In the 3rd session, they explored a NASA application where they could learn the knowledge and the technology that was derived from Space Exploration and Investigation in our Homes and in our Cities. In the next sessions, the students made two investigations. One about their Space Job and another about researching some elements of the community about Space Sciences. This work contributed to the motivation, learning, and development of research skills, among others. In terms of teacher training, in the workshop the teacher trainers perform like they would in the classroom creating an isomorphic training practice between classroom and workshop. The fact that the teacher trainers went to the classrooms create an environment of confidence and career development enhancing teachers to give the step forward to new practices. The second part of this presentation will describe classroom activities performed with the five classes of the Science Teacher, in special the class that he was the headteacher, enhanced by mainly several short teacher training, a formation action and a teacher training workshop. This work was the continuation of the first part, but with fewer classes in the school. This part begins with just one class, the one he was Headteacher. This work was supported by short term teacher training focused of one of themes that soon will be unveiled promoted by esero (European Space Education Resource Office). This fact led to the teacher to apply the learning activities in posterior school years to feel prepared, confident and secure. This class had the opportunity to work on programming in Scratch and Phyton, on machine learning, and on climate research in esero projects Astro Pi - Mission Zero and Space Lab and Climate Detectives. In Climate Detectives, they were introduced to EO Browser. These projects were developed in a room with computers. In the following part of this work, all my five 7th grade classes participate. This work was supported by a teacher training workshop promoted by the Porto Planetarium but without the presence of teacher trainers in the classroom. The teacher developed the work in the classroom independently without any help in an autonomous way. He prepared the learning materials on the base of the materials given on the presential session and mainly with a internet research about the project. The students worked in the program SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey), which is mapping the Visible Sky from Earth by multispectral images. The students learn about the project through its Aluminum Plates, which motivate them much because they were in contact with a scientific object, small videos about the project, and the platform of the project where they could explore images of space, the spectrum of space objects and know more about the plate and the objects that were mapped with it. These activities motivate very much the students, promoted learning and development of skills, and they experience different learning environments to which they were not accustomed. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can enhance the process of Teacher training, and how this can be used for Lifelong Competence Development of teachers. Learning methodologies and training soft skills can be further enhanced by the use of ICT (Stefanov, Naskinova, & Nikolov, 2007). There is a direct relationship between previous ICT training and the dimensions of communication and collaboration, and content creation. The development of digital teaching competence continues to be a challenge which must therefore be addressed, and it shall continue to be a key issue in the training of current teachers, as it is indeed a fundamental pillar for promoting a new way of teaching (Artacho et al., 2020). Teacher training produces a ripple effect that positively impacts students, families and communities. Teacher training is a sustainable solution to development. Providing quality education creates opportunities, opens the door to well-paying jobs and ultimately will contribute to healthier communities. Teacher training only makes sense if it is able to serve the needs of students, teachers, the school organization and the educational community (Casanova, 2014). The Teachers Trainers provide support and promote self-realization in professional activity (Tovkanets, 2018). The longer lifelong teacher training, with support in the classroom is, contributes to a faster personal and professional development, enhancing the possibility of the learning resources get faster to the classroom and, consequently, to the students. In conclusion, lifelong teacher training consolidates teachers’ further professional and personal development, increasing their self-confidence to advance to new methodologies and practices.

What is an IT Services Business Plan?

A business plan provides a snapshot of your IT business as it stands today, and lays out your growth plan for the next five years. It explains your business goals and your strategies for reaching them. It also includes market research to support your plans.

Why You Need a Business Plan for IT Company

If you’re looking to start an IT business or grow your existing IT company, you need a business plan. A business plan will help you raise funding, if needed, and plan out the growth of your IT business to improve your chances of success. Your IT business plan is a living document that should be updated annually as your company grows and changes.

Sources of Funding for IT Businesses

With regards to funding, the main sources of funding for an IT business are personal savings, credit cards, bank loans, and angel investors. When it comes to bank loans, banks will want to review your business plan and gain confidence that you will be able to repay your loan and interest. To acquire this confidence, the loan officer will not only want to ensure that your financials are reasonable, but they will also want to see a professional plan. Such a plan will give them the confidence that you can successfully and professionally operate a business. Personal savings and bank loans are the most common funding paths for IT companies.

How to write a business plan for an it services business.

If you want to start an IT business or expand your current one, you need a business plan. The guide below details the necessary information for how to write each essential component of your IT business plan.

Executive Summary

Your executive summary provides an introduction to your business plan, but it is normally the last section you write because it provides a summary of each key section of your plan.

The goal of your executive summary is to quickly engage the reader. Explain to them the kind of IT business you are running and the status. For example, are you a startup, do you have an IT business that you would like to grow, or are you operating a chain of IT businesses?

Next, provide an overview of each of the subsequent sections of your plan.

• Give a brief overview of the IT industry.
• Discuss the type of IT business you are operating.
• Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target customers.
• Provide a snapshot of your marketing strategy. Identify the key members of your team.
• Offer an overview of your financial plan.

Company Overview

In your company overview, you will detail the type of IT business you are operating.

For example, you might specialize in one of the following types of IT businesses:

• Computer repair: This type of IT business provides computer maintenance and repair services.
• Computer training: This type of IT professional specializes in teaching others how to use computers as well as various software and computer programs.
• IT support: This type of IT professional provides services for businesses such as setting up a network, backing up data, and systems management.
• Cloud computing: This type of IT specialist helps individuals and businesses establish cloud platforms and tools, or may help to migrate their information to the cloud.

In addition to explaining the type of IT business you will operate, the company overview needs to provide background on the business.

Include answers to questions such as:

• When and why did you start the business?
• What milestones have you achieved to date? Milestones could include the number of new clients served, the number of repeat clients, reaching $X amount in revenue, etc.
• Your legal business Are you incorporated as an S-Corp? An LLC? A sole proprietorship? Explain your legal structure here.

Industry Analysis

In your industry or market analysis, you need to provide an overview of the IT industry.

While this may seem unnecessary, it serves multiple purposes.

First, researching the IT industry educates you. It helps you understand the market in which you are operating.

Secondly, market research can improve your marketing strategy, particularly if your analysis identifies market trends.

The third reason is to prove to readers that you are an expert in your industry. By conducting the research and presenting it in your plan, you achieve just that.

The following questions should be answered in the industry analysis section of your IT business plan:

• How big is the IT industry (in dollars)?
• Is the market declining or increasing?
• Who are the key competitors in the market?
• Who are the key suppliers in the market?
• What trends are affecting the industry?
• What is the industry’s growth forecast over the next 5 – 10 years?
• What is the relevant market size? That is, how big is the potential target market for your IT business? You can extrapolate such a figure by assessing the size of the market in the entire country and then applying that figure to your local population.

Customer Analysis

The customer analysis section of your IT business plan must detail the customers you serve and/or expect to serve.

The following are examples of customer segments: individuals, schools, families, and corporations.

As you can imagine, the customer segment(s) you choose will have a great impact on the type of IT business you operate. Clearly, individuals would respond to different marketing promotions than corporations, for example.

Try to break out your target customers in terms of their demographic and psychographic profiles. With regards to demographics, including a discussion of the ages, genders, locations, and income levels of the potential customers you seek to serve.

Psychographic profiles explain the wants and needs of your target customers. The more you can recognize and define these needs, the better you will do in attracting and retaining your customers.

Competitive Analysis

Your competitive analysis should identify the indirect and direct competitors your business faces and then focus on the latter.

Direct competitors are other IT businesses.

Indirect competitors are other options that customers have to purchase from that aren’t directly competing with your product or service. This includes other types of IT consultants, in-house IT support, or do-it-yourself IT tutorials. You need to mention such competition as well.

For each such competitor, provide an overview of their business and document their strengths and weaknesses. Unless you once worked at your competitors’ businesses, it will be impossible to know everything about them. But you should be able to find out key things about them such as

• What types of customers do they serve?
• What type of IT business are they?
• What is their pricing (premium, low, etc.)?
• What are they good at?
• What are their weaknesses?

With regards to the last two questions, think about your answers from the customers’ perspective. And don’t be afraid to ask your competitors’ customers what they like most and least about them.

The final part of your competitive analysis section is to document your areas of competitive advantage. For example:

• Will you make it easier for clients to acquire your product or service?
• Will you offer products or services that your competition doesn’t?
• Will you provide better customer service?
• Will you offer better pricing?

Think about ways you will outperform your competition and document them in this section of your plan.

Marketing Plan

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For an IT business plan, your marketing strategy should include the following:

Product : In the product section, you should reiterate the type of IT company that you documented in your company overview. Then, detail the specific products or services you will be offering. For example, will you provide cloud computing, data center management, or network setup services?

Price : Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of your plan, you are presenting the products and/or services you offer and their prices.

Place : Place refers to the site of your IT company. Document where your company is situated and mention how the site will impact your success. For example, is your IT business located in a busy retail district, a business district, a standalone office, or purely online? Discuss how your site might be the ideal location for your customers.

Promotions : The final part of your IT marketing plan is where you will document how you will drive potential customers to your location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

• Advertise in local papers, radio stations and/or magazines
• Reach out to websites
• Distribute flyers
• Engage in email marketing
• Advertise on social media platforms
• Improve the SEO (search engine optimization) on your website for targeted keywords

Operations Plan

While the earlier sections of your business plan explained your goals, your operations plan describes how you will meet them. Your operations plan should have two distinct sections as follows.

Everyday short-term processes include all of the tasks involved in running your IT business, including answering calls, meeting with new clients, billing and collecting payments from clients, etc.

Long-term goals are the milestones you hope to achieve. These could include the dates when you expect to acquire your Xth client, or when you hope to reach $X in revenue. It could also be when you expect to expand your IT business to a new city.

Management Team

To demonstrate your IT business’ potential to succeed, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company.

Ideally, you and/or your team members have direct experience in managing IT businesses. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience that you think will help your business succeed.

If your team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act as mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience in managing an IT business or successfully running a small IT consulting service.

Financial Plan

Your financial plan should include your 5-year financial statement broken out both monthly or quarterly for the first year and then annually. Your financial statements include your income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statements.

Income Statement

An income statement is more commonly called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L. It shows your revenue and then subtracts your costs to show whether you turned a profit or not.

In developing your income statement, you need to devise assumptions. For example, will you charge your clients an hourly rate of $250 per hour, and will you work 5 hours per day? And will sales grow by 2% or 10% per year? As you can imagine, your choice of assumptions will greatly impact the financial forecasts for your business. As much as possible, conduct research to try to root your assumptions in reality.

Balance Sheets

Balance sheets show your assets and liabilities. While balance sheets can include much information, try to simplify them to the key items you need to know about. For instance, if you spend $50,000 on building out your IT business, this will not give you immediate profits. Rather it is an asset that will hopefully help you generate profits for years to come. Likewise, if a lender writes you a check for $50,000, you don’t need to pay it back immediately. Rather, that is a liability you will pay back over time.

Cash Flow Statement

Your cash flow statement will help determine how much money you need to start or grow your business, and ensure you never run out of money. What most entrepreneurs and business owners don’t realize is that you can turn a profit but run out of money and go bankrupt.

When creating your Income Statement and Balance Sheets be sure to include several of the key costs needed in starting or growing an IT business:

• Cost of equipment and office supplies
• Payroll or salaries paid to staff
• Business insurance
• Other start-up expenses (if you’re a new business) like legal expenses, permits, computer software, and equipment

Attach your full financial projections in the appendix of your plan along with any supporting documents that make your plan more compelling. For example, you might include your office location lease or a list of your IT credentials.

Writing a business plan for your IT business is a worthwhile endeavor. If you follow the template above, by the time you are done, you will truly be an expert on IT business planning. You will understand the IT industry, your competition, and your customers. You will develop a marketing strategy and will understand what it takes to launch and grow a successful IT business.

The Essential Steps When Creating a Business Plan

• Strategic Planning—Working as a Team. Strategic planning is a team effort, one that draws on the particular skills and expertise of employees in the organization. Early on in the planning process, the management should start analyzing several key players who will help create the plan.
• Expressing the Institution’s Mission and Goals. Successful management of a microfinance organization requires many business skills. However, before these can be put into action, an organization must determine and define its mission and goals. Defining goals and mission helps to establish the foundation of an organization, providing the fundamental direction that the institution will then follow.
• Determining the Organization’s Markets and Clients. Business institutions exist to aid customers, so it is essential that the organization has a clear and precise understanding about the demographics and cultural characteristics of the group that is being served.
• Performing an Environmental Analysis. Environmental analysis means identifying and assessing the underlying external challenges that an organization might face.

IT Company Business Plan: Everything You Need to Know

An IT company business plan is a detailed plan for running and developing an information technology company. 3 min read updated on February 01, 2023

An IT company business plan is a detailed plan for running and developing an information technology company. It should describe all aspects of the business, including the company's description, product description, marketing strategy, and financial analysis, in a clear and precise manner.

Tips for Writing a Great Business Plan

A business plan should set out a clear roadmap for developing and expanding your business. Keep the following points in mind while writing a business plan:

• Test your idea. Avoid the temptation of jumping into a business merely on the basis of the success stories of others. Discuss your idea with prospective customers, vendors, and other people in the industry.
• Study the market to get an idea of industry trends, underlying challenges, and scope of future growth.
• Share your business plan with your employees. It is not something to be kept confidential.
• Write it in a clear and concise manner. Be specific, and cover all areas of the business.
• Put the plan to use; simply filing it away will not serve any purpose. Refer to it whenever possible.
• Revisit and revise your plan as your business grows.

Sections of a Business Plan

A typical business plan includes the following sections:

• Executive summary.
• Description of the company.
• Market research.
• Product or service description.
• Management structure.
• Sales and marketing strategy.
• Financial Analysis.

Benefits of Writing a Business Plan

Writing down your business plan offers the following benefits, among others:

• You get to understand your business better.
• It increases the chances of your business's success.
• It makes it easier to raise capital for a startup.
• Businesses with a written plan grow at a higher rate than those without any written plan.

Steps to Writing a Startup Business Plan

1. Have a Clear Objective

• Make sure that the company description is not ambiguous. The company description can also include your business's mission statement.
• State the reason for choosing that specific business. For example, you might be prompted to open a restaurant because no other restaurants in your area serve the cuisine your restaurant specializes in.
• Discuss the vision and growth prospects of your business in brief.

The summary should be concise and should not exceed four paragraphs.

2. Identify Your Target Market

Narrow down your target market based on geography, demography, psychology, and behavior. Your final target market may look like the following:

• Ages 20 to 35
• Living in the New York area
• With an annual income of $50,000-$60,000
• Who are interested in recycling and sustainable living

3. Analyze the Competition

Perform a competition analysis and differentiate your product accordingly. Price and quality can be two important differentiating factors. You should analyze the competition while simultaneously identifying your target market since both these steps are a part of the market research section of your business plan.

4. Prepare a Budget

Estimate the amount of funds you will need to start and operate the business. Many startups fail due to lack of funds. Preparing a budget beforehand will reduce this risk. When calculating your budget, consider all possible expenses, including the following:

• Cost of equipment.
• Money required for buying or leasing property.
• Legal fees.
• Employees' salaries.
• Insurance premiums.
• Inventory cost.

5. Make Financial Projections

Prepare financial projections based on the size of your target market and your expected market share. Include the expansion strategy in your projections. Keep your projections reasonable and make sure you cover three to five years of operations.

6. Define Your Business Structure

Define the organizational structure of your business. Having a clear hierarchy of power removes unnecessary doubt and debates over jobs and reporting positions. However, avoid adding too many layers in your business structure since that may create confusion and make the communication inefficient.

7. Prepare a Marketing Plan

A well-balanced marketing plan should include a strategy for customer acquisition in line with your target market, budget, and financial projections.

Some of the basic ideas for a marketing plan include the following:

• Launching a website.
• Being active on social media.
• Building a subscribers' list.
• Setting up loyalty programs.

8. Keep It Short and Simple

Although your business plan should be detailed and thorough, make it a point to keep it short and simple. Write it professionally and avoid using jargon. Proofread the plan for grammar, readability, and confusion.

Information Technology Proposals

In the age of across-the-board digitalization, the IT industry has become the powerhouse of technological progress and the locomotive of high-tech transformations that penetrate an ever-growing number of domains. The spike in demand for software products has caused the appearance of thousands of developing companies that offer their services to the global pool of customers. Given the vast number of competitors in the IT realm, vendors face the major challenge of reaching out to their clientele. How can they address it?

There are dozens of factors that can help developers to find their customers and cinch the deal. They hire vetted professionals in the niche, keep abreast of the new technologies cropping up constantly, trim their portfolios, increase the scope of services they render, and leverage testimonials from previous clients. However, the first and oftentimes tipping impression about your company that a consumer of digital services gets comes from an IT services proposal you send them.

Must-Have Elements of a Solid IT Business Proposal

The overarching goal of a business proposal in any sphere is to convince the customer that your company is the best candidate to opt for if they want to obtain a high-quality product or service at an affordable price. You can reach this goal if your information technology proposal example contains the following items. 

• Summary and objectives. Here you define the main purpose of the proposal, the expected deliverables, as well as the stakeholders who will benefit from the project’s results.
• Project description. This is the core of an IT solution proposal template that covers the project background, the identification of the problem, and the strategy for dealing with it.
• Costs. The section gives the total cost of the future project with the budget breakdown according to the stages the project will go through. 
• Methodologies. It is the operational part of the tech proposal sample, where you outline the techniques you are going to utilize and justify the employment of each one.
• Project plan. Here you offer a step-by-step roadmap where key activities, milestones, and dates are mentioned, and outcome measurement metrics are enumerated.
• Timeframe. This is not only about determining the kick-off and the finishing dates. A good technical proposal example also contains the expected dates when every milestone is due.
• Project management and resources. In this section, you list the resources that should be allocated to see the project through and specify tools and communication channels (together with collaboration details) that the organization of the project implementation will rely on.
• Risk assessment. The customer must be aware of risks related to the endeavor, especially if you are pitching a project of your own and looking for investments.

As you see, composing a compelling proposal is a no-nonsense task that requires time and skill. If you lack either of them (or both), it is wise to make use of the free tech business proposal templates our company offers.
