Consider your answers to the following questions. Your answers will give you an early insight as to how your organization might go about making its technology selection.
1:
Do you have a large legacy environment, or are you starting with a relatively clean slate?
2:
Do you have a highly competent IT department that is always looking for the best tools to meet business needs, or do your IT people largely just keep the ship running?
3:
What is the basic system architecture: large central systems or smaller, distributed systems?
