One of the aspect which play a role is whether the new system would be completing replacing the existing system or would be placed over the existing system. The new system can be stated to be complex which would be requiring support from IT experts to indulge into the working of the system.
The Macquarie’s Organizational Structure is basically divided into five groups. The non-hierarchical structure of the organization which includes global chief officer of operation, managing director, head of operation group of Macquarie including the risk management head directly contribute to the managing aspect of the organization. The following chart gives an overview of the organization structure which is involved into the organization.
Relating to the topic of operational problem (Jebreen 2014) have put forward their opinion that “the different groups strive to place a particular person in charge who are committed and competent to the aim of the group”. There are chances that different types of problem may occur in the process of the organization which can change the factor of efficiency and errors which are human related.

Various type of identification system which are automated play a vital role in the overall working of the organization with a focus on the gaining access to the acquisition of the data that is not achieved within the element of the industry automation and control system.
