Job Title

Selection takes forever. Traditional software selection drags on for years, sometimes in perpetuity.
IT is viewed as a bottleneck and the business has taken control of software selection.
“Gut feel” decisions rule the day. Intuition, not hard data, guides selection, leading to poor outcomes.
Negotiations are a losing battle. Money is left on the table by inexperienced negotiators.
Overall: Poor selection processes lead to wasted time, wasted effort, and applications that continually disappoint.
