This element is about the business analyst assessing what the potential technology and infrastructure changes should include in order to achieve the desired future state.

Let's consider some real-world examples of where changes to technology and infrastructure may need to be identified and analyzed by the business analyst: 

Example 1: The current accounting software package at a financial institution runs on a Linux-based server. The solution identified for the future state requires a different operating system.

Another consideration in this context may be that the existing technology in an organization may impose technical constraints on the design of the solution. 

Example 2: The existing technology within a financial institution may only accept file communication and integration if it is in a specific flat-file format. This constraint impacts the design of the solution for the file communication protocols needed for the desired future state.
