Technology Strategy & Sourcing

Technology Strategy & Sourcing
Technology strategy must be tied to overall corporate strategy. Common issues technology companies need to address include:

  • How can technology best be used to create and sustain value?

  • Can Intellectual Property be used to create a defensible position?

  • Can technology be sourced at far less cost and in a much shorter timeframe than through in-house development?

  • How do technology and intellectual property strategies integrate with overall corporate strategy and, therefore, core strategic vision?

In addition, product development efforts of technology companies often benefit from sourcing technology developed externally, rather than solely through internal development.

 

Benefits include:

  • Potentially lower R&D investment
  • Faster product time-to-market
  • Patent infringement avoidance
  • Partnering opportunities
