Microsoft Information Technology Platform Value-add
Selecting Your Enterprise IT Platform is a Foundational Decision
Selecting your core enterprise application platform is a foundational decision that enables (or hinders) business productivity and information sharing across your entire organization. By default, it drives your subsequent technology solution options (including office productivity, CRM, content management, ERP, business intelligence and reporting applications; workflow; enterprise search; database management systems).
Once established, standardization is the means to achieve your intended ROI by leveraging your previous IT investments and lowering ongoing IT skill development/maintenance costs. Conversely, selection of an application that runs on a ‘non-standard’ platform needs a compelling value-add and TCO business case to be justified.
