Is the technology not working? No, more than likely the technology is capable of increasing productivity, while reducing cost, just as the salesman pitched. The salesman is not selling bogus solutions. It is likely to be your internal processes. You buy new technology to produce faster, but you deploy it in the confines of old processes. Any new technology requires a review of existing processes. If you do not harness the capabilities of the technology and transform the process to utilize them, you will essentially negate any efficiency.

Everyone loves technology, right? There are smart houses that allow homeowners to turn off and on appliances without even being home. But, did you know that the computer chip that powers all that technology to turn on devices in your home may put you in greater risk of having your personal information stolen? What many homeowners do not know is that the firmware contained on a system on-chip that can be used by other embedded devices. However, did you know that this firmware also opens the door to poor encryption practices and allows hackers to access software on for devices?
