Most Businesses are concerned with solving a business problem, not purchasing a specific technology.
Contact UsIndividuals at the client who are responsible for executing a project frequently have only a rudimentary understanding at best of technology stacks and/or various off the shelf solutions.
This includes license resellers for Microsoft, Oracle, Adobe, etc., or any off the shelf solution.
It is analogous to buying a car. If you go to a Ford dealership, the recommendation will be to buy a Ford. If you go to a Mercedes dealership, you will hear about how great a Mercedes is. In technology, you want a partner who understands that sometimes a Ford is the right platform to meet your needs, and sometimes you really need a Mercedes to meet your needs.
The important thing is to deliver the functionality and business requirements.
Once your IT partner understands the business deliverables, a well-rounded partner will be able to suggest the most appropriate technologies, frameworks, platforms, and tool sets to accomplish the business goals.
An IT partner should also understand your existing technical environment so that recommendations do not conflict with and in fact leverage your existing skill sets and technology stacks.
The most important asset you have is your human assets. Leveraging existing skill sets, and enhancing those.
Software development is vastly different now than it was ten years or even five years ago. A technology partner adds significant value by keeping up with new trends in technology and project methodologies.
A top notch partner will understand which trends are fads, and which trends are beneficial changes to the way projects are executed.
A great example is mobile application development. In the mid-2000’s, mobile applications were written in native iOS for Apple devices, native Blackberry for RIM devices, native Windows CE for Windows based devices, etc. Today, many applications can be written once in a mobile application framework and then compiled in any of the major operating systems. Write once, deploy many times to multiple OS’s.
TCO is a critical concept when evaluating projects. Total Cost of Ownership is the all important perspective that the initial cost of building and deploying an application is only half of the story. Key questions include:
How scalable is the solution? As your business grows, can the solution grow with you at reasonable and predictable costs?
What is the cost of annual maintenance and/or minor enhancement?
As technologies evolve, will your off the shelf software vendor upgrade their product along with the rest of the market?
Decisions on which technologies to use are not easy, particularly for the uninitiated. The most important consideration is delivering a project that meets all of the business requirements of the organization. The underlying technology is secondary. It is important to engage a trusted IT partner than will approach each project objectively and with no preconceived notions as to what is the most appropriate technology stack or off the shelf solution.
A partner will consider the business environment, the business requirements of the project, the current technology stack being used by the client, and the skill sets of the clients’ IT staff.
Let the project drive the technology, never let the technology drive the project.
