The process of finding the "right" technology solutions to support your business is not an easy task and should not be underestimated. A well-run selection process includes many components that, when properly orchestrated, will yield the best decision for you and your company. It requires the investment of time and resources commensurate to the level of importance a decision like this is to any company.
The guiding principles for any technology selection is a clear understanding of what the organization wants to achieve, what current systems are capable of, and a solid understanding of the financial commitment required to reach the intended goals.
The foundation for any successful selection is a clear and well-defined set of business and technical requirements. It is critical that organizations go through a diligent requirement gathering process. This exercise is important to detail current and future technology needs, but the process often illuminates to our clients gaps and opportunities that may not be apparent.
At Digital Technology Advisors, we also stress to our clients that a selection project is not all about technology. It is also about determining the implementation approach for how the technology will be rolled out, and by whom. We believe that finding the right System Integrator (SI) is, in many instances, more important than the technology selection itself. So, we typically employ a combined selection process, where a technology is required to be paired with an implementation services partner to provide a complete picture of how platform goals will be achieved; including complete TCO (total cost of ownership), launch and maintenance plan.
Having an experienced partner who has been through hundreds of technology selections and leverages a proven methodology and processes, as well as deep industry knowledge of the technology landscape and service providers, drastically increases your chances of success. It is essential in any selection project that it includes insight from industry experts with intimate knowledge of the technology provider landscape. Companies need to make sure they are considering the right set of providers and not wasting valuable time and resources on providers who just aren’t a good fit.
Investing in, and implementing, the wrong solution can have a detrimental impact on you and your overall business well into the future. We utilize a rigorous process, advanced tools and in-depth knowledge of digital commerce and digital providers to save you time and money, and ultimately to help you arrive at a ‘best fit’ decision.

Selecting the right digital technology solution is only half the battle. Once you have selected a platform, you need to ensure that the implementation runs smoothly and that it is fully integrated with other systems in your technology stack.
