| Problem/Opportunity
ABC company has had serious challenges emanating from its hardware system, which has posed major shortfalls in the proper functioning of the company. The software system cannot function well with the current old-hardware in place. The central processing unit, computer data storage, monitor, motherboard, graphic card, keyboard, and sound card are not completely compatible with the current software and therefore the need to deploy a more current hardware. In the past, the ABC company staffs have been raising complains of non-response from the current hardware to the newly innovated software in the market. There has also been a total failure from some other parts like motherboard and keyboard of the computer system. Therefore, deploying a new hardware system in the company would enable solve the challenges ABC staff were undergoing with the old hardware. The company programs and other activities would run very smoothly with the newly deployed hardware in place (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017). |
| Goal

| Objectives
· To deploy the most current hardware system to ABC company · Ensure compatibility between the current software and the newly deployed hardware. · To provide all ABC Company staffs access the newly deployed hardware system. · Improve the overall functionality and efficient program progress of ABC Company by hardware deployment. · Decommission the already existing hardware system. |
| Success Criteria
