Giving Technology Concepts Business Context
The most effective technology decisions are made when clear business purpose and outcomes are aligned with the right technology for the job.
Too often, though, buying decisions are ad hoc, based on an immediate problem to solve. Setting aside time to thoroughly consider the longer-term impacts is skipped in favor of achieving short-term solutions. This leads to overspending, duplication of technologies, and a repetitious react-fix cycle.
Even small companies should be thoughtful in their decisions. When your clients make the time to outline their company's roadmap, they have a clearer decision-making path.
The content in this section will help your clients expand their knowledge to make more informed, targeted decisions.
