Casa del Libro.. it's not too late still

Well, if you ask me regards 'Casa del Libro' case..
firstly, whether I would stick to the previously developed UNIX platform, or switch to the new Microsoft one.. Then I can say that I will switch to the new Microsoft platform due to below reasons.

1) Design :
New Microsoft platform which is simple & more focus on its origin function than previously developed UNIX platform which is more complex & redundant.

2) Cost for maintenance & development :
New platform costs lower (within a reasonable cost control) vs. huge cost in mantenance & development for UNIX platform. (+ already invested in licenses and integration as well)

3) Others :
Previosuly developed UNIX platform was recommended by analyst due to robust enough to sustain a huge number of transactions. However, risk is associated with potential need to rescale & redesign. Also, I believe that it is important for system to reflect new CEO’s vision/strategy so that company can move forward with coherent policy.


Secondlly, the most relevant criteria that I considered to make my decision to switch to the new Microsoft platforms are as following.

- Long-term maintenance cost :
Platform is not disposable, so we need to maintain continuously – which definitely cost for maintenance. From long-term perspective, total cost would be increased if we stick with UNIX platform even excluding initially invested cost for license and integration for UNIX platform.

- User-friendly platform :
If there is redundancy and complex to use, users will be inefficient in a way for cost and time. This will result in the loss of company growth.


In a nut-shell, considering opportunity cost for my decision, I will strongly recommend to switch to the new Microsoft platform from long-term perspective.
