Technology
Influence on the Multinational development
The capabilities of the technologies (hardware, networks and software) used in Multinational were important drivers and constraints on the development (C.1.3d, C.2.1d, C.2.4g). The availability of a working system was also critical in enabling the users to see the limitations of the system for Services (C.1.2c).Implications for the Multinational development
In drawing up the initial project schedules, allowance was made for the team's inexperience with the technology as a whole. However they did not allow for the technology making the task more difficult than anticipated (C.2.4g). If the technology used in the Financial Accounting sub-system and ad hoc reporting had been regarded more cautiously they would have been able to build time into the schedule for experimenting and getting a measure of its capabilities.Top
