study on replacement of information technology

At the Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley, we are doing a study of what factors influence the decision to replace old information technology/products with new information technology/ products. If you were involved with such a technology replacement situation, we would like to include you in our study. Decisions to reject are as important as decisions to accept. In exchange for your participation, we would be happy to give you information about our findings- which might help you in future decision making. For example, we are looking for companies who considered replacement of a non-relational database with a relational database. Or, replaced older financial/other applications with new generation (e.g. client-server) applications. We are interested in all technology areas and are particularly interested in the areas of database technology, imaging, and client-server software. If you are able to help, please contact us. Depending on what suits you, we can exchange information with you either by phone, or by mailing you a questionnaire, or visiting your offices. To contact us, send email to (Asst. Professor) Rajan Srikanth at srikanth@garnet.berkeley.edu or call him at 510-643-9994 or call (MBA Student) Rehan Syed at 415-312-8420. If we are not in when you call, please leave a message indicating when you can be called back. Thanks for your interest! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
