dc.description.abstract | In August 1999, Canto Systems Limited (CSL) won a contract to provide AHAAN Telecommunications Limited (ATL) with an integrated solution to cater to its building and accounting requirements. CSL partnered with various companies to provide the four modules that constituted the project within seven months of signing the contract. Neither did CSL undertake a requirement study before the final bid, nor was the client clear about its needs in the tender. There were delays in hardware and software delivery by the partners. Midterm risk analyses did not identify several high probability risks involved in the project. By October 2001, one component was yet to be implemented. The Systems Integration Manager now wanted to update the risk analysis and bring the project to a smooth closure. | en |
