Technological Constraints
Technological Constraints
Technological
constraints include:
Ability to retool
infrastructure (hardware/software/communications)
Train knowledge
workers
Train software
engineers
However, technological
constraints find themselves masked as
business policies.
For example, a Vendor
can have only two addresses this business policy is the result of an old technology constraint
that only allowed two seventy-two byte
punch-cards in 1968. Every new version of the application built from 1968 until the present only
allowed two addresses.
