Impact of Hardware Problems (F4) on Implementation Problems (F2)
The lack of a hardware plan leads to incompatible systems and thus weakens
management's resolve to implement it [5]. Without a comprehensive hardware (no. 6
in F4) and data communications plan (no. 45 in F4), the final output document will
not be very useful (no. 41 in F2) and substantial further analysis (no. 19 in F2) will be
necessary to identify the equipment needed to support the planned data architecture.
