T 2.3 A lack of compatible, or unsuitable, resources<br />

Insufficient provision of resources can disrupt <strong>IT</strong>-related operations<br />

considerably. An insufficient amount of required resources, or failure to<br />

provide them in due time, can result in a discontinuity of service.<br />

Similarly, it may happen that unsuited or even incompatible resources are<br />

procured which consequently cannot be used.<br />

Examples:<br />

- <strong>The</strong> forthcoming transition to the year 2000 can cause compatibility<br />

problems in the hardware and software used.<br />

- For a newly leased Datex P line the payment for the installation initially<br />

fails to be transferred to the network operator and the connection is<br />

therefore not enabled. As a result, commissioning of the <strong>IT</strong> procedure<br />

intended to use this line is delayed.<br />

- An unsuitable resource is, for instance, a graphical user interface that is<br />

installed on a computer with insufficient performance.<br />

- An example of incompatible resources are interconnecting cables of<br />

varying pin assignment for connecting printers.<br />

- <strong>The</strong> main memory or hard-disk space on a computer is not sufficient to<br />

allow the operation of a database using new standard database software.<br />
