Philosophy
Technology is a tool to achieve your business goals

• Understand your business
• Business goals (future)
• Current technology (present)
• IT problems (past & present)
  

Leverage
Evolving your technology provides a competitive advantage

• Streamline your existing technology
• Add new technology in focused areas for maximum impact

Discipline
The path of least resistance isn’t always the best one

• Technology can’t solve every problem
• Be wary of “cutting edge” technology
• Strength to sacrifice the easy short term for the fruitful long term

Planning
An organized approach offers the best long term results

• Standardize what you already own
• ONLY build from a standardized foundation
• Be proactive. Tackle small problems before they become large problems
