The best services for growing your business

Technology assessment assumes a global perspective and is future-oriented, not anti-technological. TA considers its task as an interdisciplinary approach to solving already existing problems and preventing potential damage caused by the uncritical application and the commercialization of new technologies. Technology assessments, which are a form of cost–benefit analysis, are difficult if not impossible to carry out in an objective manner since subjective decisions and value judgments have to be made regarding a number of complex issues such as

• The boundaries of the analysis (i.e., what costs are internalized and externalized).
• The selection of appropriate indicators of potential positive and negative consequences of the new technology.
• The monetization of non-market values and a wide range of ethical perspectives.

WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Consequently, most technology assessments are neither objective nor value-neutral exercises but instead are greatly influenced and biased by the values of the most powerful stakeholders, which are in many cases the developers and proponents (i.e., corporations and governments) of new technologies under consideration. In the most extreme view, as expressed by Ian Barbour in ‘’Technology, Environment, and Human Values’’, technology assessment is “a one-sided apology for contemporary technology by people with a stake in its continuation. Based on industry best practices, our comprehensive approach to information technology assessments helps give you the transparency you need to win with IT. Your IT environment is most likely to have evolved over time. Performance gaps, redundancies, inefficiencies, and unintentional information silos are just a few of the issues that might arise over time. Eventually, determining what is and is not working, as well as knowing where to put your IT resources, can be challenging. IT Assessments can help with that. Our IT Assessments are designed to provide in-depth insights into your present IT infrastructure, allowing you to assess your current condition and identify areas for growth and improvement so that you can effectively integrate IT with your business goals.
