Before you begin work on this assignment, be sure you have read the Case Study on Chesapeake IT Consultants (CIC) and the attached Instructions

Provide an introduction in one paragraph that engages the reader’s interest in continuing to read this reportConsider your audience – you are writing in the role of a CIC business analyst and your audience is CIC and your boss, the CIO. Don’t discuss CIC as if the reader has no knowledge of the organization. Use third person consistently throughout the report. In third person, the writer avoids the pronouns I, we, my, and ours. The third person is used to make the writing more objective by taking the individual, the “self,” out of the writing. This method is very helpful for effective business writing, a form in which facts, not opinion, drive the tone of the text. Writing in the third person allows the writer to come across as unbiased and thus more informed.
