Choose the right perspective
Check whether the person's relevant role is current or past and whether it covered a company's whole IT function or one area such as merchant technology, infrastructure, enterprise applications or engineering. 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 a processing or merchant platform decision you owned. Which alternatives did you rule out, and why?
- 02How did you keep payment systems available and compliant, for example with PCI DSS, while migrating or modernizing infrastructure?
- 03After an acquisition, how did you decide which platforms to keep or retire, and what would you do differently next time?
