Transcript of IT Apples and IT Oranges
IT APPLES & IT ORANGES AN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LEADER CONUNDRUM
Every day CIOs are asked to choose between
things that are seemingly incomparable.
Yet they still must choose between IT Apples and Oranges.
An Apple lover thinks their fruit is better because…
“They come in red, green, and yellow.”
“They keep the doctor away.”
“They are crisp and sweet.”
“They make a great pie.”
“And they are affordable!”
While the Orange lover thinks their fruit is better because…
“They are bright orange.”
“They are high in Vitamin C.”
“They are sweet and juicy.”
“They make a great jam.”
“And they are affordable!”
?
“Development said the latest release is all green.”
“The system integrator said the upgrade is easy as pie.”
“We can’t afford not to move this system to the cloud.”
And every day CIOs make decisions based
on subjective & incomplete information.
“We need to sunset this system and move to the other one.”
“If you give me this one little feature I can close my deal.”
“The new ERP version has some sweet features we’ve got to have.”

So how do you make the best choice?
To make objective decisions you need a standard set of data and benchmarks to balance against all the opinions.
