Buying Technology
1. Ignore the media hype.
2. Never be the first to buy a technology.
3. Let needs determine innovations to adopt.
4. Know the process that you are automating.
5. Let the features determine software and software dictate
hardware.
6. Talk to your users before you buy.
7. Spend time on planning and strategy.
8. Establish rules for hardware and software usage.
9. Invest in training.
10. Dont forget about formal training. (Training itself could be
another 10 commandments!)
