Your technology partner will have significant influence over your project success. Taking the time to choose the right partner pays dividends throughout the engagement.
Look for partners who have solved problems similar to yours. Generic technical skills are important, but relevant experience means they understand your challenges and can avoid common pitfalls.
A good partner asks lots of questions before proposing solutions. Be wary of anyone who jumps straight to recommendations without understanding your specific situation.
Clear, timely communication is essential. During the selection process, pay attention to how responsive and clear potential partners are — this usually reflects how they will communicate during the project.
A healthy partnership includes honest conversations about what is and is not possible. Partners who promise everything may be overselling their capabilities.
Understand how your partner charges and what is included. Hidden costs and scope creep can turn a good deal into a budget disaster.
Ask potential partners about projects that did not go as planned and what they learned. Everyone faces challenges — what matters is how they handle them.
Technology projects do not end at launch. Understand how your partner handles ongoing support, maintenance, and future enhancements.
