When upper management assesses a new technology, they view it from a different perspective than middle management, architects, or data engineers. Upper management is not just looking at benchmarks and feature lists; they’re looking for long-term viability and how it gives their company a clear competitive edge. In addition, they’re optimizing for time to market and costs.
As the Managing Director for Big Data Institute, technology assessment is a key part of my role. We help companies identify and adopt the best technologies for their business needs. Our clients especially appreciate our vendor-neutral approach.
