Opportunity

Problem

Scope creep. The approval process permits the consulting client demand more consulting without increasing their payment.

A proposal (also known as an engagement letter) is usually required for a professional consulting company. This proposal must be accepted. Accepted proposals become the contract between client and consultant regarding what should be done, when, how much, etc.

For tracking progress and managing ongoing projects, it is helpful to refer back to the original engagement. This will help you avoid scope creep and helps you track your progress. It’s a critical missing link for most consultants.

Solution

Overture compiles proposals incorporating building blocks of content including text, tables, and milestones, component tasks, and date and deadline data, with ongoing progress tracking, tickler functions, communication with clients, and billing for progress. The key differentiator, secret sauce, is easily managed tools and a conceptual framework for ending scope creep.

Market

Prospects may include single professionals as well as small professional firms and individuals within large businesses. Pricing is flexible and the software is available at different levels. Prices start at $19.95/month for an individual account.
