Strategic Fit

Selecting a DMS, OMS, or GIS vendor is a significant technology decision. Decisions cannot be made on costs alone and the real challenge with picking the right software is evaluating the strategic fit of each option with with your corporate technology ecosystem and strategic objectives in mind. Some software requires minimal data to run while others need a rich data set to perform advanced functionalities. Some are trivial to deploy but difficult to integrate with your IT ecosystem while others are difficult to deploy but easier to integrate with. Regulatory objectives play a role in selecting the right vendor so the invested capital can be justifiably recovered via rate base.
