Choosing business applications is a common task, but many application development and delivery (AD&D) leaders struggle to do it well. We see many poor decisions that result from flawed processes. This report describes a better way for AD&D professionals to choose business apps that avoids wasteful requirements gathering by focusing instead on each vendor's ability to deliver business goals and measurable success. This is an update of a previously published report. Forrester reviews and updates it for continued relevance and accuracy. It includes new examples, data, and revised recommendations.
