In some cases an independent company might be located that has expertise in both areas that can do an effective job. If a company is found that has both types of expertise, it should be necessary for the vendor to have a complete understanding of the client company's production operations and the results that are required from management.

There should be an in-depth understanding of the capabilities of data formats and the database systems into which data may be ported. The solutions offered by such a vendor must be specifically applicable to the requirements of the hiring company. Such a vendor would have to have broad industry understanding or have a narrow vertical market understanding in the area in question.

Having a vendor that can deliver a seamless implementation of automation and data availability would be an optimum solution.
