SaaS Business Plan

Opportunity

Problem

Scope creep. The approval process is used by the consulting client to request more consulting and not more 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.

It is important to keep track of progress, manage ongoing work, and avoid scope creep by referring back to the original engagement when fulfilling. It's an essential missing link for many 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 secret sauce is easy to use tools and a conceptual framework that prevents scope creep.

Market

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

None of them address scope creep as Overture. They're all priced high, but few offer the same features.

The real competition

The real competition lies in using existing word processing tools with project management and billing.
