Why Technology Decisions Should Start With Business Problems

The right technology is the technology that solves the right problem — not the largest deployment available.

Every technology has a compelling story attached to it. Without a defined business problem, every story sounds equally relevant.

Starting with the problem creates a test. Any proposed solution has to explain how it changes a specific operational outcome the business already cares about.

It also protects budget. Problems can be ranked by cost and risk; product features cannot.

Before evaluating any platform, a business should be able to state the problem, its cost, who it affects and what improvement would look like. That statement is the beginning of a good technology decision.
