If you’re feeling a bit lost or uncertain about how to tackle these decisions, you’re definitely not alone. 

Making smart tech decisions — those that minimize costs while maximizing profits for our organization — can feel like trying to find your way through a labyrinth. There are various factors to weigh and often multiple routes that could lead to what you consider the best result.
