Problem:
If you are having problems selecting and/or implementing the RIGHT technology solution for YOUR business problem(s), ask yourself the following questions:
1. BUSINESS USER: Have I COMMUNICATED the business problem well enough for IT to help me find a solution?
2. IT: Have I UNDERSTOOD what the business is asking for?
Many IT projects fail due to communication challenges between the BUSINESS and IT in the evaluation and design phases of a project.
Solution:
LISTEN Attentively. When you really listen, you will often hear what is being said and what is not being said. Failure to listen attentively often results in the selection of an IT solution which does not solve the business problem, and in some cases, causes more!
Ensure BUSINESS Ownership. IT projects will only be successful when there is a representative of the BUSINESS assigned to the entire process of solution evaluation, selection and implementation. If not, IT will always bear the burden of responsibility for selection of the IT solution.

Considering Outsourcing?
The attached whitepaper, focused on Email outsourcing, provides a good foundation for knowing the questions to ask your hosting company, regardless of the application being outsourced.
If outsourcing is a new concept to your organization, consider outsourcing the storage of the older digital data which is accumulating on your file servers? For years, organizations have been storing physical files in offsite warehouses through a Records Management company? Since the service level and confidentiality agreements are already in place with these vendors, ask them about extending their service to include the storage of digital data on your behalf?
Contact BizTech Connect today for more information on how this would benefit your organization!
