In today’s business environment, it is vital to know when to adopt new technology, when to keep current applications in place and when to make the most of both options.
The challenge is to understand when maintaining business in an existing environment is more painful than migrating to an improved one whilst at the same time not succumbing to the “grass is always greener on the other side” misnomer. Indeed, all too often, strategic IT directives are laid down based on information that is sometimes many years out of date.
Quite frequently companies run into technology barriers imposed by the continued use of ageing IT infrastructure regardless of the platform they are using.
