What affected the internal design?: Leadership of IT professionals

Phase II turned out to be a complete rewrite of the system incorporating a new relational database structure and modular Powerbuilder code (00117). There are different opinions on whether there was an intention to rewrite the system or it just happened when they redesigned the database (00744, 00565, 00660). Given the extent of the rewrite (00565) and the fact they were using and exploiting a new release of Powerbuilder (00117) I think there was little doubt in the developers' minds that they were rewriting.
