The best plans account for every aspect of the proposed solution. We don’’t overlook some of the more important implications, such as:
-
-Long term cost of ownership. The cost of operating and upgrading the system typically exceeds its initial purchase and implementation
-
-Ability of user groups to accept and adapt to change. Does the incoming solution really make things easier for its everyday users?
-
-Predicted life of the new technology
-
-The company’s long-term IT strategy. If the new solution does not mesh with that, there’s a rocky road ahead.

We take a holistic look at the problem and the possible solutions, starting with analyzing the business need, working through a complete evaluation of vendors and solutions, and ending with the long-term considerations.
