Article Abstract:
Companies that successfully incorporate state-of-the-art information technology on a consistent basis usually make a conscious effort to target appropriate technologies and then monitor their usefulness, employing staff especially for this purpose.

A successful assimilation strategy examines a product's maturity, strategic relevance and success rate.
