Total Total 'Technology' Weighting

Technological diversity is controlled to minimize the non-trivial cost of maintaining expertise in and connectivitybetween multiple processing environments.

Software and hardware should conform to defined standardsthat promote interoperability for data, applications, andtechnology.

We will investigate packaged applications first to see if theymeet our requirements.

The IT organization is responsible for owning and

implementing IT processes and technology that enablesolutions to meet user-defined requirements for functionalityand service levels.
