titleHow do you manage risk?

Going in with eyes wide open.

Recognize that a single API might get you faster to where you need to go initially, but be prepared to educate yourself to go beyond this type of solution to a more open system approach.

Iguana X for instance is a very open system - more effort to learn the system but then you have no bottleneck that you cannot resolve.

titleHow do you find out if the solution is really working? Social networks are good here.

You can use your personal connections - probably the best way if your personal network is good. People will say things in person in a trusted conversation which they won’t say in public. Especially if they still have an active relationship with a vendor. Don’t insult the people who can spit in your food (smile) !

Prannay Sethion my sales team can find out more things than I do because he has larger personal professional network than I do. Glassdoor can be helpful: Is Glassdoor a good tool for looking at a company's health.

titleRatings agencies have too much of a conflict of interest - they are being paid by the companies they rate.

Remember all the mortgage backed securities that were triple AAA rated by the rating agencies in 2008.

The incentive structure of these organizations in my opinion makes this definitely a pay to play world.
