This article covers the first step in the assessment process known as the Engineer review.
Each review is divided up into two steps. First, an engineer answers the technical questions contained within the client template in a yes/no fashion. They'll determine if the technology is in alignment with your best practices (as defined in your standards library). Next, a vCIO considers the response from the engineer and determines the business impact on the client.
The engineer determines if the technology is in alignment with your best practice (as defined in your standards library) and then the vCIO determines the effect of being in or out of alignment. If the client is out of alignment then the vCIO can make a recommendation.
