When I inquire with my existing vendor for a new technology need, my biggest concern is...

I don't have the knowledge to communicate my true needs

I won't have the knowledge to understand the vendor's offering

It'll cost more than I have budget for

My vendor will upsell me even if it doesn't have the right solution for me

There is a better option for me out there which I don't have the resources to locate

I don't. It's too complex and it's an obstacle to doing my job well

I'm well familiar with parts which I planned, or relate to my daily work

Since moving to the cloud, it's really lean and easy to understand
