1. What would be your decision? Would you stick to the previously developed UNIX platform, or switch to the new Microsoft one? Please feel free to make any rational assumptions you might need in order to reach a decision.
I think that the project is a the point of no return. Either we go or we quit, right now no midway solutions. So between redesigning it from scratch or go for it with initial features, I would not invert my path and continue. Finding out some places where to cut costs. The idea is good and there are strong premises. I do believe it feasible in a 2010 situation.
Back to 2001 with the bubble I would stop the project if not completely agreed with AOL and Planeta to continue the investment.
2. Which are the most relevant criteria for you to make the decision? Just name each criterion, and explain it very briefly.
New Implementation Risk of the new system. New problems may arise.
New Cost, althougt small is something new.
Sunk Investment of the first implementation if we drop it.
Number of transactions. Is really the new cheap system been able to sustain such probable hig number of transactions?
Good Idea. The book online store with so much titles is a very good idea and despite hard time management should not kill it.
