The software and hardware issues related to technology are defined in this presentation ...The data is in very easy wording...this will be help you a lot guys..

2. WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY?
TECHNOLOGY IS THE PROCESS
OF ART, SKILL, MODIFICATION, USAGE AND
KNOWLEDGE OF TOOLS, MACHINES,
TECHNIQUES ETC.

3. TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER?
A PROCESS FOR
CONCEIVING AND IMPLEMENTING A NEW
APPLICATION/HARDWARE FOR AN EXISTING
TECHNOLOGY.

4. TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER ISSUES
RELATED TO:

5. ISSUES RELATED TO SOFTWARE:
IN ORDER TO
CHANGE SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGY THE MAIN
ISSUES WE HAVE TO FACE ARE:
 WHAT WE WANT?
SOMETIMES WE DID NOT
ABLE TO FIND THE REAL REQUIREMENT OF
OUR SUBJECTED SOFTWARE. WE ARE
UNABLE TO DECIDE WHAT ARE OUR NEEDS,
WANTS AND DEMAND.

6. MAKE SURE THAT THE NEW
SOFTWARE THAT YOU ARE THINKING TO APPLY IN
YOUR ORGNIZATION, IT WILL COMPLETELY FULFILL
THE REQUIREMENTS OF CONCERNED ORGNIZATION.
 SOFTWARE OR SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT:
IN SOFTWARE
DEVELOPMENT OUR FIRST ISSUE IS TO DECIDE THAT
WHO WILL MAKE OUR SOFTWARE. WE HAVE TO FIND
A CERTIFIED, SKILFUL AND TECHNICAL MATURE
SOFTWARE TEAM TO DEVELOP OUR SOFTWARE.
IN DOING SO WE MAY FACE THE
FOLLOWING PROBLEMS:
i. SOFTWARE TEAM
ii. COST PROBLEM

7.  TRAINING USERS:
BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THE
NEW SOFTWARE, USER MUST BE TRAINED. SO
THAT HE/SHE HAS A COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE
ABOUT THE FEATURES OF THE NEW SYSTEM. IF
THE USER IS COMPLETELY TRAINED, HE/SHE CAN
WORK MORE EFFICIENTLY AND RELIABLY WITH
THE SOFTWARE.

8.  IMPLEMENTATION:
IT INCLUDES THE INSTALLATION OF
NEW SOFTWARE OR SYSTEM THAT WE WANT TO
APPLY. IT IS ALSO CALLED SYSTEM CONVERSION. IT
CAN BE PERFORMED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
WAYS:
 DIRECT IMPLEMENTATION
PARALLAL IMPLEMENTATION
 PHASE IMPLEMENTATION
 PILOT IMPLEMENTATION
 ACCEPTANCE:
AFTER IMPLEMENTATION, USER OR
EMPLOYEES SHOULD ACCEPT THE NEW CHANGE.
BECAUSE IF IT HAPPENS THAT SOME OF THE USERS
OR EMPLOYEES RESIST THE CHANGE. IT MIGHT

9. TO AVOID THEIR PROBLEM
WE SHOULD GIVE OUR EMPLOYEES A LITTLE
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF NEW
SYSTEM. WE CAN DO THIS BY ARRANGING
WORKSHOP FOR EMPLOYEES.
 MAINTENANCE:
MAINTENANCE IS A PROCESS
OF CHECKING THE WORKING OF SYSTEM. IT IS
VERY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT THE SYSTEM
IS FULFILLING REQUIREMENTS. SOME
MEASURES MAY BE TAKEN TO IMPROVE THE
SYSTEM. THAT ARE:
• CORRECTING THE PROBLEM IN THE SYSTEM IF

10. IMPROVING THE WORKING OF THE
SYSTEM.

11. ISSUES RELATED TO HARDWARE:
IN ORDER TO
CHANGE HARDWARE TECHNOLOGY THE MAIN
ISSUES WE HAVE TO FACE ARE:

12.  SHORTAGE OF EXPERIENCED TECHNOLOGY
TRANSFER MANAGERS.
 LACK OF TRUST IN TRANSFER DEVELOPED
SYSTEM.
 INABILITY TO ACHIEVE QUALITY TARGETS.
 DELAY IN OBTAINING SUPPLEMENTARY
MATERIAL, NEEDED FOR QUICK
IMPLEMENTATION FROM THE LOCAL
ENVIRONMENT.
 COST OVER RUN DUE TO POOR
IMPLEMENTATION.

13.  HIGH COST AND POOR QUALITY OF
LOCALLY AVAILABLE MATERIALS NEEDED
TO IMPLEMENT THE TECHNOLOGY
TRANSFER.
 INADEQUATE TRACKING OF
TECHNOLOGY DURING IMPLEMENTATION.
