Factor
Failure rate
Age
Interoperability
Supplier stability
Key Question
Is the supplier still in business and financially stable?
Does the hardware or support software crash and force system restarts frequently?
How old is the hardware and software, and is it increasingly obsolete?
Are there problems interfacing the system with other current systems?
Correct Answer
(1) Supplier stability,Is the supplier still in business and financially stable?
(2) Failure rate,Does the hardware or support software crash and force system restarts frequently?
(3) Age,How old is the hardware and software, and is it increasingly obsolete?
(4) Interoperability,Are there problems interfacing the system with other current systems?
Explanation
Environment assessment factors include supplier stability (is the vendor still viable), failure rate (frequency of crashes or restarts), age (how obsolete the technology is), and interoperability (compatibility with other current systems). Other factors include performance, support requirements, and maintenance costs.
