In his article covering characteristic difficulties in the technology selection process, Rob Meilen, VP & CIO of Hunter Douglas describes the increasing pressures on IT organizations to provide more business benefits, quicker than ever before—but reveals that standard selection and sourcing practices are falling short. [Select the Right Software with the Free Lean Selection Book](https://pmo.selecthub.com/lean-selection-book/) To combat a fragmented approach created by competing interests and disparate tools, Meilen prescribes a more scientific, real-time, multi-sourced process—a technology selection management service—driven by the [SelectHub platform](https://www.selecthub.com). According to Meilen, this approach allows business stakeholders to evaluate, select and procure technology assets with the relevant transparency and governance built-in. The end result being a more collaborative, consensus-driven process; which caters to business urgency without compromising on the rigor required by IT, Finance, and Procurement. He states that the process and SelectHub toolset leads to better [requirements](https://www.selecthub.com/requirementshub/) understanding, better buy-in from all stakeholders, and better selection and adoption of technology.
