Making technology choices
Conclusion: Technology decision-makers have a larger and ever-growing set of technologies to choose from. The creative entrepreneurship driving the expansion of products is generally beneficial to end-users because it stimulates change and helps to drive innovation from the major vendors.
For larger organisations, in most cases, the major enterprise offer will be selected for many reasons, incumbency being significant, along with compatibility. For other organisations, examining the new and emerging vendors’ technologies may unlock a better process. However, assessing all the vendors within a category vertical, each with their own range of solutions, features and technical aspects, can result in a lot of information to process. The most effective method is to apply the principal business objective and assess how it aligns with strategic execution.
