“Technology agnostic design (TAD) lowers cost, decreases risk, and increases both scalability and availability. If implemented properly, TAD complements a build versus buy decision process.
TAD is as much of a cultural initiative as it is a process or principle. The biggest
barrier to implementing TAD will likely be the natural biases of the engineers and architects for or against certain providers. Ensuring that the organization understands the benefits and reasons for TAD will help overcome these biases.”
