Many C-level executives responsible for decisions on technology directions are entranced by the notion that the latest technology is the best choice. But is this a correct assumption?  This is quite a weighty question that sometimes involves millions of dollars and may determine the fate of a business and its employees.

Can you afford to make the wrong decision?

So many times, those making vital technical decisions in areas of computing platform direction step off into the 'bleeding edge" unnecessarily. It's a responsibility to weigh advantages, costs, risks and value of these big ticket decisions and make the best decision based on a knowledgeable assessment of the total solution.

Yet, how many times have you heard of or witnessed first-hand, terribly misinformed decisions and ill-conceived infrastructure planning that wasted thousands, possibly millions of corporate dollars? Situations where proven, year-old technologies would have clearly been the best fit for the business need, yet were overlooked and newer, unproven technologies were chosen. There is a reason they call it the "bleeding edge" and experiencing that scenario isn't good for anyone involved.

But for whatever reason, be it fear of failure, or vendor misinformation, or simply ego - an untried technology was decided upon, heavily invested in, and did not perform as promised – and as needed. There are situations where the latest technologies are necessary and must be chosen. A good C level executive knows these times - and so do we. And there are times when the bleeding edge technologies should be implemented by your competition prior to your involvement.  It’s important to have a strategy to weigh the risks involved and act accordingly.
