PROCEDURES MANUAL PROPOSAL
Abstract
Our paper will present the importance of Standard Operating Procedure manual based on
multiple viewpoints. We will address the critical concern of the Operating System in a complex
IT environment, and we will follow the procedures for the successful installation of our network.
In the various sections of the document, we will conclude that before any system has been
installed, the relevant and the most appropriate procedures must be followed. While it has been
almost a routine for most companies to just install a given operating system without taking into
consideration the most appropriate information about the installation, it is important to note that
before installing any given system, the relevant and the responsible personnel must first
undertake research. The research is performed with the attempt to come up with the appropriate
details about the requirements that may need in the entire processes. Additionally, before the
installation of any system is done, the parties involved must have the relevant knowledge and
skills. These skills may include the ability to analyze the system requirements as per the
operating system that is being installed and the various procedures and subtasks that must be
followed in the installation processes. In some cases, the user manuals may not have all the
information needed in the installation processes which may make it difficult for a given party to
perform the said installation or other tasks as far as the system is concerned. Therefore, it is
essential to come up with another way of providing the most crucial details that may be issues of
concern that may be faced during the installation or the operations of the given system. The
entire paper will look at the various procedures that may be followed in the practical installation
and configuration of the installed system.

PROCEDURES MANUAL PROPOSAL
Standing Operating Procedures
The procedures in this manual are to run in five phases, these phases are further divided
into minor categories that would lead to the full completion of the entire program installing
(Safis, 2016). The primary intention behind this whole process is to make sure that an old
Operating System is discarded and a complete new one is brought into play, what this means is
that every single stage counts for this program to successfully run and manage the activities of
the organization (Suzanne Kantra, 2017).
The processes in the installation part that is covered by the chief information officer and the
heads of department include the following; checking the requirements of the Operating System,
the decision whether to purchase this system, carryout a feasibility study on the compatibility of
the system, acquisition of the system and lastly backing the data required before discarding them
(Microsoft, 2017).
In the system it will be necessary to ensure that the booting process be made from the disc
and then set the program up and wait for it to fully load in the computers of the organization. In
these last stages it is important to make sure that a choice of the installation type is made,
formatting of the partitions, setting up the options for licensing, creation of the windows logging
in details and then making sure that installation of other programs and drivers is initiated as well.

Procedures manual proposal
Proposal finalization
Following the highlighted set of tasks that have been documented previously, the
methods that have been all along mentioned have been inclined towards ensuring that the
installation processes have been completed successfully. The proposal that has been drafted to
drive the project has been crafted to support the installation of a new Operating System while the
older one is being phased out of the selected company. While addressing the issue of installing
the new Operating System, issues like the respective roles and responsibilities are seen. It has
been established that the success of a given project is defined by the tasks that are carried out and
the way the functions are carried out. In as much as the installation process may be viewed as a
simple task, it is important to note that before any installation is done, there are the various steps
and procedures that must be followed.
These procedures have been known to make huge impacts in the manner that the
organization is going to receive the newly installed Operating System while ensuring that the
correct procedures are followed. Looking at the mentioned processes, the company in context
needs changing and or upgrading the currently used Operating Systems with new and modern
Operating Systems. The respective procedures that require being followed must first be
documented, and the separate resources as far as the entire processes are concerned which would
go a long way in ensuring that the respective areas of application and concern have been
highlighted and accounted for.
The various processes and tasks that revolve around the installation of the proposed
Operating System must be undertaken following the separate set procedures that have been

outlined in the manual offered. The installation procedures must be described exclusively while
ensuring that the various roles and responsibilities that are associated with the complex aspects
and tasks about the implementation of the project is concerned. It has been established that the
consideration of the various policies that may define the scope and the respective tasks that are
undertaken in the entire project.
The system requirements (hardware) and the other related tasks are undertaken by the
Chief Information Officer who is to conduct all the other associated tasks and activities
concerning the outlined project. The timeline, budget, and the other resources, as well as the
documentation of the Operating System, must be undertaken by the set guidelines as per the legal
and ethical considerations. The proposal has been inclined towards the support of the
implementation of the Operating System while following and observing the set guidelines,
procedures and tasks that are associated with each section. The following article is going to look
at the letter of explanation which provides the relevant issues of concern in the proposal and in
the installation of the mentioned Operating System.
Letter of explanation
The letter to be addressed is inclined towards ensuring that the explanation of the contents of
the proposal and a justification of the proposal is done effectively. It has been established that
such a letter may play a huge role in ensuring that each of the affected issues of concern has been
outlined and explained to the word as far as the installation, the procedures, and the respective
tasks have been explained in accordance to the set guidelines.

This letter has been drafted as a form of explanation to the contents of the proposed project. It
follows the need to ensure that all the contents of the proposal have been highlighted
successfully. Having considered carefully the various issues of concern that may affect the
operation and the successful implementation of such a project, the need to explain the various
aspects and components that may include the procedures and activities are realized.
The installation of the Operating System has been arrived at after a careful consideration of the
various issues of concern that have been brought about by the previous Operating System. While
the installation process is seen to be a simple task, it is worth noting that the entire process is
characterized by numerous activities that all try to ensure that the overall results are appealing.
The initial planning for the installation where the various aspects such as the associated policies
