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.

1. Who makes it?
2. Who supports it?
3. What are ALL the costs?
4. What other technology is required to make it work?
5. What services are required to make it work?
6. How long has it been around?
7. Who else is using it?
8. How will it generate profits for my company?
9. Can I take a test drive?
10. Will it speak to my other systems?
