No one vendor has a lock on the market when it comes to tools and applications for your PMO. Nor can any one vendor give you an automatic guaranty that their offering is truly the best for your PMO and set of needs. So, when it comes to buying technology there are several factors to consider. One of the most important factors is the type of technology buyer that are you. Are you highly innovative and prefer to implement brand new technologies? Are you an early adopter? Or do you fall into a buyer type of early majority, late majority, or even a laggard? There is nothing wrong with any of the buyer types. In fact, you need to align your technology acquisition strategy and purchases with the buyer type that is best for your company and working environment. By understanding and knowing your buyer type, you can purchase and implement the vendor offerings that are best for you whether that is the latest bells and whistles or a time-tested, mature product that already enjoys an established customer base.
