The new solution adoption questionnaire

It is often easy to get carried away by new technologies. Every 1-2 years there is some new big name in town, and all the companies are racing to adopt the new tools.

There have been countless businesses that rushed to use Hadoop, NoSQL, blockchain and other technologies, without really needing them. This simply questionnaire should help you understand whether you should adopt a new solution or not.
