Another question to ask is how can I minimize the need to replace these 
products in the first place ?

Aside from the due diligence of product evaluation, if you take a best 
of breed approach to software selection, you may be more likely to 
retain it after your requirements or other software components change.

For us, TrustedLink was a good solution 10 years ago, but it's no longer 
a good fit as one of our target applications (SAP) no longer resides on 
the "i".  If instead we chose Gentrans at the time, we could have 
migrated to GIS (these products share map formats).
