What other advice do I have?
When I select a vendor, the most important thing is the possibility to move to other technologies, connectivity for the digital ecosystem, and sharing; how the product shares sets for other companies.
I rate it eight out of 10, because it's stable, it's elastic, but difficult for designing the business use case.
Before implementing the product, try to pilot it, in a small division, work it in a small division and then try to scale.
