Ask yourself these questions when making decisions on technology:
§  How will this technology allow the company to be more productive?
§  Will the technology promise an acceptable ROI?
§  How is the technology the right selection for the company?
§  How soon will this technology need to be replaced?
§  What is the break-even point (also called the payback period) for this investment?
§  When does it become profitable?
