Choose the right guy

Wrong person or cheap labor may screw your business

Extra efforts Remember Time = Money?

Technology Choose one , choose many but choose wisely Look out for availability more than features. Don’t let technology drive your business, look for flexible alternatives Always think about cost too.

Choose one , choose many but choose wisely

Look out for availability more than features.

Don’t let technology drive your business, look for flexible alternatives

Always think about cost too.

Processes Anything done in a well defined process, executes well. A well defined process will take care of risks and mitigation plans No one should be allowed to run away from processes but yes, processes should be flexible. Again, never let processes hamper the business, remember they are to help you!

Conclusion Choosing a Technology? Don’t (s): Fashion / Trend: Don’t choose because others choose it. Don’t stick to Legacy systems. Keep evolving. Don’t compromise on cheap labor. Quality is important. Open source is NOT always the best Don’t depend a lot on vendor too: They always charge you for every little extra thing!
