Helping Newbies Avoid The Seven Deadly Sins When Buying Technology

The Sin of Not Using

This is probably the most important sin and should have been on the top of the list. But when writing this it just came out at this spot. As a business owner myself, I know how hard it is to make the money we earn and we need to be sure that if we are going to invest in anything, we need to make sure to use it. This not only means the business owner, but as the leader, the owner needs to be sure that his employees are on board. That they understand the investment and that they too are part of the team. They must feel ownership of this new technology and help to bring it on board. Employees, in general, tends to be scared, intimidated, afraid of new technology. The status quo is just easier and more comfortable.

Introducing new technology should be a major part of the purchase and obtaining the help from the manufacturer/distributor should be part of the deal. Just dropping off technology without so much as an introduction is just not fair. If the product is costly or complicated or both, then training should be available and offered even if at an additional cost.
