Top technology questions you should ask
You don’t have a lot of technology resources inside your company. In fact, just getting your office printer to work all the time seems like a monumental challenge. Investing in technology, whether it’s new software or hardware means dealing with a lot of stuff that just may not work like you expected. But it’s the 21st century and the days of index cards, one-write systems and 2 martini lunches are long gone. You need technology to get things done. So before investing in the latest-and-greatest-whiz-bang-gotta-have gadget that promises to turn your entire business into a financial powerhouse, here’s a few things to keep in mind.
- Who makes it?
- Who supports it?
- What are ALL the costs?
- What other technology is required to make it work?
- What services are required to make it work?
- How long has it been around?
- Who else is using it?
- How will it generate profits for my company?
- Can I take a test drive?
- Will it speak to my other systems?
