The Price of Technology WicInd Group must consider the implications of bleeding edge technologies that are currently available, for they represent the edge that we need to compete above the composition. The TCO of this type of initiative is negligible compared to the cost of not having the advantage in the marketplace when we are ready to attack the marketplace. When we are ready to take advantage of the technology, we will need to have policies, guidance and training programs in place to make the transition happen. From common services, to the entire enterprise, WicInd Group should look to where technologies that are only now under development can improve our function as well form.
