Newer, faster, better!

As you might have read in my previous blog, technology does not matter. Or does it? It depends on the product’s intended purpose and application area. While software design and architecture are key to usability and acceptance, maintainability and supportability, technology is an important factor for optimization and improvement. In some cases, usability is also affected by the technology decision, when talking about (smart) devices and mobile applications.

Which is the “right technology”?

The right technology does not exist. You almost always have alternatives. Based on your organizational knowledge and experience, you might tend to choose technologies well known to your experts. This can be dangerous, especially when the already known technology is out of date. Many projects fail because of unreliable or inappropriate technology which was choosen for the intended solution.
