    The document requests the development of a new customer technology tracking system. It describes problems with the current inability to track clients' hardware and software configurations or past work history. Technicians cannot access information remotely to fully support clients. Clients also cannot enter service requests. The proposed solution is a new responsive system that allows technicians to access and update data remotely, track hardware installations, and for clients to enter service requests remotely. It will also allow documenting work done and viewing the history and status of each request.
