The first challenge we faced when implementing the infrastructure was security. This is because
enhancement of the system always results to a compromise to the security could bring loss to the
organization. Other challenges included determining the correct infrastructure which would be
less costly and which would produce the maximum benefits. We were working on a limited
budget and resources were to be utilized effectively. Testing the system also posed as another
challenge. (Clark, 2014)
Modification strategy/plan
The modification strategy involved putting what we had documented in the design plan into
practice. We had first worked with a prototype and realized that the project would be a success.
We therefore modified the prototype focusing on the challenges posed at prototyping phase and
accounted for any vulnerabilities, challenges and loopholes. The initial system involved
individual database systems for individual firms and the result was a successful well-centralized
database for the merged company’s database. (Scheid, 2011)
The implementation was faced with various challenges since the previous systems had not been
made in consideration to future changes or improvement. We therefore had to modify the system
to be such a way that future merges would be handled effectively and the database system
improved as per the requirement. The modification also relied on the outcomes of the project at
testing phase testing to ensure a successful database. Modification strategy was also used in
developing the database model, the simulation, the prototype as well as the proof of concept all
which acted as an alternative during the full implementation of the project. (Bunner, 2017)
