The rationale of the document was to develop a bid report proposal for the Company X scoping study which sort to determine the necessary requirements for developing and implementation of the B2B mobile application.  The document provides an overview of the techniques, methods, concepts and models available to support requirement elicitation process and identify their contextual applications.

The study addressed the consulting process by collating important activities that contribute to the efficient execution of critical paths of the project.

The Gantt Chart can be used as a guideline by stakeholders, developers and clients to execute the development and implementation of the B2B mobile application.

The paper predicts that the approach of considering approved consulting bidding processes will increase satisfaction timely delivery and linking the project success with an ethical approach.

The overall report, endeavors to use knowledge gained from the course study to identify and analyze the relevant elements outlined in the Gantt Chart as elicitation requirements.

Technological developments and industrial adaptations are leading to a fundamental change in how industries and strategy function in the world today. Disruptive technologies are forcing us to reconsider the way we make decisions, and the models that were previously in place for delivering products and services. Blockchain in particular has demonstrated its ability to completely upend industry as we know it. Its main strengths lie in the fact that it is decentralized, unchangeable, anonymous and auditable. In this paper, we present a comparative study on the Big Four accounting firms' approach to Blockchain development and adoption. We first give an overview of the blockchain technology and key characteristics of the blockchain and its applications. Furthermore, we discuss some existing approaches for blockchain development and application in the Big Four accounting firms and highlight the opportunities and future prospects of blockchain technology that can be utilized by the four professional services conglomerates.
