We're going to build a Solution which includes acquiring data through mobile phones(J2ME) and laptops(browser based data acquisition), uploading the same data to back-end servers(built with J2EE) and then analyzing the same data including generating various types of reports. This solution will include a CMS for building the website and various interfaces for various types of users.

I'm to do a "Solutions Architecture" document for the same.

What should that document consist of ? Are there any templates (WORD, .ODT, .PDF) ?

Any inputs appreciated.

Thank you so much,
