There’s only one good reason to spend money on technology…to make more money.
If you are making your IT decisions from the perspective of it being a “necessary evil”, or that you are doing it “because you have to”, we challenge you to be better than that. To do better than that. You spend money to make you more money, period. If you can’t explain how it is going to make you more money, don’t do it.
The problem is that it’s usually a gray area. How do you quantify it? How do you get your IT guy to explain the pros and cons of one approach over another? And what’s with all of the acronyms –
It all just sounds like BS, doesn’t it? That’s because it is! It’s your Business Strategy.
Wait, what? That’s right, today’s businesses are driven by technology. If your business were a tractor-trailer, then your technology is the engine, the navigation, the wiring system, and the tires. It takes you where you want to go.
So with that analogy in mind, what happens to your tractor-trailer when your mechanic convinces you to replace the engine with one from a Honda Civic? Now, a Honda Civic is arguably one of the most successful cars on the market, but if you put that engine in YOUR tractor-trailer, you would be going nowhere fast. So what if your IT guy only knows how to work on a Honda?
It’s why we are a business strategy firm. We can’t recommend the right technology unless we understand your business, your people, and your purpose. Anyone who says otherwise is just selling you a Honda.
