A company should consider the total cost of up gradation along with the cost of maintenance and support while adopting a new technology. 2. Unavailability of Technical Support Some technologies require workforce to be tech-savvy. This makes its adoption among the workforce, especially the elderly, to be very difficult. These people require a technical support unless they learn how to use it. This support might not be available to them all the time. 3. Workplace Disruption There are many business owners who feel that any drastic change in the existing process might face resistance from the employees.

This is because the technology providing company closely follows the new trends in the businesses and does a proper research before developing the technology. Some Tips to Choosing the Best Software Technology Solutions 1. Determine your business needs When you list down the key areas that require a technological facelift, it is important to prioritize and quantify the monitory benefit that you will get when you implement those changes. Make sure you list down the requirements from all the departments. 2. Research available technologies Before going for an online research, go to the employees and managers who will be the most affected by the new technology. Ask them their expectations and let them come up with new ideas. Also, they must be in contact with some relevant network which can provide vital suggestions and feedbacks. 3. Assess the scalability You must consider if the new technology is scalable and can accommodate your future business requirements. Make sure that it can integrate with the existing and upcoming technologies. The system is expected to be cloud-based for enhanced flexibility and scalability. 4. Good technical support When you adopt a new technology, its implementation requires a lot of technical assistance like staff training, troubleshooting and upgrades. For a smooth transition and even after its implementation, you will require a good technical assistance.
