Comments

A full baseline of the NIH tool set has not been conducted.
Emerging Technologies were established through Gartner Research and proposed solutions to current procurement.
Tactical and Strategic products were selected to leverage NIH's investment in products that are a proven fit for NIH's known future needs. Leveraging baseline products in the future will minimize the operations, maintenance, support and training costs of new products.
Some baseline products have been designated Retirement and Containment. These products are either not as widely or successfully deployed at NIH, or they do not provide as much functionality, value, or Total Cost of Ownership as the selected Tactical and Strategic products.
