The success of the project should be defined in business terms, not in technical terms. When the purchase⁄SCM team checks the technology implications of the proposal, they must possess a thorough knowledge of the products or services the Postal Service plans to purchase. Such knowledge includes product features, especially those characteristics that are critical to the product’s success or failure. Performing these checks will clearly identify technical implications in proposals.
The Postal Service staff should also know about the relevant projects, programs, and infrastructure that pertain to the solution.
