Implemtnation phase acquistion of new equipment hardware,”For a large company hardare upgrades can involves replacing hyndreds of PC’s-thus the process can be a lengthy and complex one. When considering hardware upgrades, issues such as the storage of the new equipment must be taken into consideration. Hardware changes for Government Departments may need to follow certain guidlinesss. For example, there may be procedures for a tendering process. As part of the system design process. There may have been the requirement for new equipment (hardware and software) equipment must be obtained while this sounds like a simple task, it can often be a long and tiresome process. For a large compmnay upgrading a system may involve replacing hundreds of PCs and its hardware is to be upgraded. There may be a number of different parts required for the difffrent models of computers all of which have to be sourced. Software might need to be purchase “”off the shelf”” then modified of custom written to suit the specific needs of the system. Depending upon the organization there might also be further company or statuory reuqirements to follow. For example a Victoria Government Department would not be able to just go out and buy the equipment they need-they would need to conduct a tender.These sorts of requirements may slow the process down. It is very important that this phase of the process is handled properly. This is for a numbr of reasons- obviously there is the expense of the equipment but there are also other issues- if there are going to be a hundred new PC’s for example there would need to be stored from the time the company receives them to the time the system is actually implemented. In order to do this the company would have to have available a reasonably large storage facility. If it were a chain of stores that was upgrading their computer system, the new computers would need to be delivered to the appropriate stores as they were ready to be upgraded. In addititon new software would have to be tested for compatibility and to ensure that it was capable of handling the tasks required by the users of the system. This process required careful planning to ensure the smooth introduction of the new system. In addition to acquiring new equipment, the old equipment must be dealt with as well. It will be necessary to determine the most appropriate course of action for this- disposal, sale or redeployment within the organization. Either way there will be company or statuary requirements that will need to be followed that are similar to those that were followed when purchasing equipment. It is important that the acquisition of equipment is timed to allow for the smooth introduction of the new systmm. Exactly how this will require the delivery of the equipment will vary from the system to system
