Decision guides
Short answers to technology decisions I'm often asked about, with what to check before you decide.

Not yet.
- Should we move to our ERP vendor's cloud version, or stay where we are? · draft
It depends on what you have built around the ERP and what the cloud contract changes.
- Our program is behind plan. Should we continue, change scope, pause or stop? · draft
Decide on evidence of what works today, and leave money already spent out of it.

Find out where the money goes before you decide.
- Before we invest, how do we check the technology is what they claim? · draft
Ask for evidence behind each technical claim, on real usage, and have someone independent read the code, the architecture and the costs.
- How strong is our technical position if an energy tender ends in litigation? · draft
Test the technical claims on both sides against the tender's own wording, before the lawyers build on them.
