The decision to buy, build or outsource your custom data management and reporting applications software is both important and complex. After all, you are making a decision about the software upon which the future success of your business lies.
The choice you make will not only set the direction of the project itself, but will also ultimately determine its success when deployed. And how well you have invested your financial assets.
When to Consider Outsourcing
- No in-house development staff
- In-house staff lacks bandwidth
- Specific features and functions are required
- Must be deployed as quickly as possible
- Prefer a single capital investment
- Quality control and testing are critical
- Require the flexibility of custom app development with the ease of deployment
The long-term benefits of investing in developing custom business applications are far more valuable than purchasing an off-the-shelf (OTS) product – plus, imagine the additional costs you can incur when paying for licenses, be they short or long term, and modification and integration when you buy off the shelf products
With custom application development, your software is supported for as long as you require it to be – with OTS software, your business is at the mercy of the software developer you are purchasing from
Benefits
- Reduced project and financial risk
- Clearly defined requirements and deliverables
- Most up-to-date design capabilities
- Reduced project timeline and budget
- Easy to maintain and enhance
- Unique features will create a competitive advantage
