The market-leading products may not be compatible with your architecture, or may not be scalable to your organisational infrastructure. The most obviously compatible may not be the best of breed. You will almost certainly have to make compromises, but you need to ensure those compromises are supported by expert advice.

Having selected and procured a product, getting that product to work in your environment will not necessarily be an easy task. As well as integrating and testing the product, you will need supporting operational procedures, training for personnel involved, schedules for maintenance and update. If the product has a monitoring capability you will need to establish procedures for reviewing logs and responding to anomalies and alerts.
