Obtain Business Unit and
IT Management Commitment
One of the major activities of any evaluation
process is acquiring management commitment for the evaluation,
selection and implementation stages. Representatives from user and
technical management need to be a part of the evaluation process to
ensure their continued support. Management always asks the same
questions. As a result, it is relatively easy to prepare for them. A
satisfactory answer to “What business problem are you trying to
solve?” is usually followed by “How much will it cost to purchase,
implement and support?”, and “What is the risk if we don’t solve the
problem?”. Management wouldn’t be doing their job if they didn’t
ask these questions. To be successful in this phase, you need to be
prepared to answer them.
