Ordino offers two advantages to companies using its services: the first is a wide range of experience which can help to suggest different alternatives, and overlooked considerations. The second is objectivity: most people involved in technology development are extremely strong advocates of what they have produced. They have to be, since without that degree of commitment the work would never get done. However, whilst being sympathetic to the claims of the individual, technology management has to make a decision on what is best for the specific organization. This is where the objectivity comes in.On some occasions the objectivity is applied at a higher level in the organization, where the technology manager is a lone voice supporting a claim for consideration in the sharing of resources. The expectation is that the advocate will be able to put everything into laymans terms and hence guide the highest level decision. This may be characterized as the objectivity of ignorance. Frequently the laymans terms are confusing and lose the essence of what is being done or what is being proposed. To produce estimates of benefits, timescales, costs, etc., some specific considerations have to be made and these will not be apparent to other managers and will not necessarily be objective. The better process is to provide informed objectivity where the right questions are asked of those who are doing the technology management task, not to hinder the process, but to strengthen it. Then a plan may be carried forward with the knowledge that it has been vetted by some third party who does not have the commitment of advocacy, but does have the understanding of technology,
