Please make sure that all bulleted points are covered sufficiently in their own separate sections with clear headings. Please go beyond general descriptions and delve deeper into the technical nature of the technologies you presented. Technology specs (data, implementation, programming, coding, protocols, etc.) and visuals (i.e. diagrams, charts, tables, etc.) are much stronger than just textual descriptions. Please do not forget social, legal, financial and other impacts. KPI, ROI and dashboards may also be great tools.
