Choose the right perspective
Check whether the person's relevant role is current or past and whether it covered the whole IT function or one area such as infrastructure, IT operations or enterprise architecture. Match that scope and era to your decision, and ask them for one platform choice they owned and what they would change about it.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01Walk me through an internal platform or data system you chose for your company's own teams. Which alternatives did you rule out, and why?
- 02How did you decide when to run internal workloads on your own company's product and when to buy a third-party tool?
- 03Which integration or migration was hardest to support as headcount grew, and what would you do differently if you made that decision again?
