Many of us have had experiences of using IT systems at work that
just don’t work right or cause more problems than they solve.
Even if we’ve been lucky at work and always had the opportunity
to use well-built and functional IT systems, it’s common to hear
in the press or in our day-to-day lives about IT systems that are
“down” or “slow”, or just do not work right. Whilst it can
be inconvenient to have to use IT systems that aren’t the best
for businesses buying an IT system that isn’t fit for purpose can
have devastating effects on the business itself and the careers of
the people involved. The senior team of any business will know
everything there is to know about their specific business or
market, but their job is not to implement IT systems. This brings
an inherent unfairness to IT systems procurement because it makes
it very easy to buy the wrong thing at the wrong price. In essence,
the buyers are amateurs but the sellers are professionals. This
mismatch is at the root cause of the majority IT systems failures
– a problem which by cost a company millions of dollars and
negatively impact works. This book is intended to be a practical
manual for senior leaders in small-to-medium businesses that will
teach them how to buy IT systems effectively – i.e. to somewhat
transform the non-IT senior leadership personnel such that they are
more informed and capable buyers. There are a million-and-one
potholes that can trip up a business, even when buying from an
otherwise effective and reputable seller, and this book looks to
make it far more likely that the reader will buy the right system,
at the right price. The author uses his extensive experience to
highlight problem areas and offer solutions to eliminate them.
