Choose the right perspective
Check whether the person's relevant role is current or past and whether it covered a whole company's technology or one area such as enterprise architecture, applications or global projects. Match that scope and era to your decision, and ask them for one system choice they owned and what they would change about it.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01Walk me through an enterprise system you chose for an oil and gas business. Which alternatives did you rule out, and why?
- 02How did you connect field data such as SCADA or production volumes with ERP and accounting systems, and where did integration break down?
- 03When an acquisition or divestiture changed the asset base, how did you merge or separate systems, and what would you do differently next time?
