System Design and Selection
Technology buyers faced several challenges: The first is to adequately document the specifications and requirements for a new system. This should be done early in the process to minimize possible confusion and to introduce needed consistency during procurement. Still, evaluating vendor proposals, filled with all the industry jargon and technical details, can be very frightening. Making a commitment to new technology, without using objective expert assistance, can be costly. Unfortunately, decisions are sometimes made solely on a sales presentation or recommendation of a friend. Nothing can replace a thorough and objective evaluation made by an expert with years of extensive experience.
