Developing a new app may help to deliver some initial efficiency improvements, but if the underlaying infrastructure hasn\u2019t been rewired, it won\u2019t deliver the expected gains. This approach not only curtails the efficiency of individual apps and services but also makes it harder to justify such investments in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Conducting a comprehensive technology assessment prior to any new projects can help make a more informed technology investment decision. The most successful digital projects carefully consider where gains can be made by optimizing the existing infrastructure and where new tools or products are required.<\/p>\n<p>A comprehensive assessment of platforms, applications, processes, and systems is key to understanding how to scale an existing solution or identify and mitigate any bottlenecks.
