Hiring a technology solution partner isn’t always easy, particularly if you really don’t understand what you’re searching for. 

You want to be sure that choosing a partner to help you with your implementation process is as simple as possible. A good first step is to ask questions about their background, their technical requirements and their relationship to your agencies’ IT programs. Most good technology solution partners will be happy to discuss these topics in detail and show you how their offerings fit into your organizations’ working process. They should also be willing to demonstrate their experience and tell you what kinds of work they have performed on similar projects. Of course, you want to be sure that your partner can deliver on its promises, so ask for their full list of technology and system requirements and compare them with your own. Be especially wary of any partner who refuses to share its full list of technical requirements.

A dedicated team is essential when it comes to implementing state-of-the-art technologies for your local government agency. When choosing a technology partner to help you execute a software project, you should also look for one that can provide a dedicated team to handle your agency’s end of the deal – this will prevent delays due to lack of manpower, which can impact the project’s success. Your dedicated tech support team can also ensure that each computer-software solution is set up properly and can run on your local servers, saving your department the time and money of installing and maintaining new systems.
