Why is a Technology
Needs Assessment Important?
Your business is growing and changing. Every day brings new challenges and new opportunities, and although growth is exciting, it comes with challenges. Technology is a vital tool to making sure that you are reaching, communicating with and serving your customer base. It is also a critical piece to ensuring everything runs smoothly internally. Having a plan of action as to how to manage and grow your technology is just as important as any other part of your business plan.
A Technology Needs Assessment is a systematic review of your company’s technology requirements, taking into account what is needed today, and the expected needs based on your plan of growth. Whether you are a large company or a small shop, the need is the same.
