QUESTION

Evaluate is the main technology challenge identified in the case? How would you suggest this challenge should be addressed

Answer 1

Main technology challenge has not been identified in the given case. While deciding for IT in a given business one needs to talk about workloads, budget, skill gaps, cloud use, and digital transformation. Because these are the biggest challenges faced by any business in the current IT world.

After addressing these points, one can talk about data security and open source liabilities. It is also important to talk about user demands and needs. This will help in the design process, volatility issues, and quality assurance. This can then further lead to proper allocation of staff and resources to tasks required in development and schedules.
