Business C and D merged five years ago and formed a new company. The retail outlets are however still trading under their old brands / names and kept on using the applications that they used before the merge. Company C has 845 outlets and Company D has 1 052 outlets. The inventory system, RetailStock, that Company D uses, cannot cater for the expanded product range that will be introduced in the next financial year. A decision was taken to decommission RetailStock and transfer the inventory management of Company D to FutureStock, the application used by Company C. The inventory of the two companies will not be merged, each will have their own instance of the application on a server hosted by Company C. The project plan for the process to migrate Company D to FutureStock is included below.
