What affected the choice of systems architecture?: IT Strategy and Requirements studies

A package was not suitable for Multinational because of the competitive market (00245). The decision to use a relational database and fourth generation tool came, at least in part, from Tim (00814) but the choice of tool was fully investigated (00241, 00242) and chosen as a result of an evaluation process which considered functionality, performance, Windows compatibility and vendor. The same kind of care in choosing software was evident in both the Financial Accounting and Marine investigations (00997, 00456). As the system developed in phase III they continued to exploit the software by developing a new architecture based on Replication servers (00870).
