Historically, how have you invested in your business technology? Do your purchases tend to follow hardware failures and other issues, or do you plan ahead and have a replacement on hand before an old option is retired? The former is reactive, which means that there are likely to be redundant costs and inconsistencies in your systems.

That said, we cannot take these capabilities for granted. Maintenance is still crucial.
