HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW

Off-the-shelf technology solutions are popular because they are easy to configure and usually come with a lower total cost of ownership than systems that are custom-built. While organizations need to be aware of the limitations of these solutions, they should no longer think about building their own systems from scratch. In this blog post, we will look at the different factors you need to consider when selecting a technology solution.

There are a few things you should keep in mind when selecting a technology solution:

  • Off-the-shelf solutions are usually easy to configure and allow you to get up and running quickly.
  • You no longer have to think about building or maintaining the solution, so you can focus on using it to meet your organizational needs.
  • It’s important to understand your organization’s business needs before selecting a technology solution.
  • You no longer have to build a long list of requirements. Instead, you can use a comprehensive evaluation process to identify the technology solution that will optimally satisfy your organization’s needs and stakeholders’ expectations.
