Making valuable decisions requires perspective.
IMC is an expert at helping customers intelligently weigh complex variables involved in the build vs. buy decision process. We dig deep into points like cost, time to market, security, skill sets, architecture, strategic value, and even politics. Our consultants provide rigorous analysis and proven, evidence-based recommendations so you can focus on solving business issues, not how to solve them.
Analyzing whether to buy commercial software or build a custom solution is a regular topic of debate that stalls many IT projects. The trend toward open source technologies, SOA, and SaaS has made enterprise applications more flexible, reusable, and less costly to maintain.
In the context of emerging ECM and BPM frameworks, buying makes sense when automating standard business processes, whereas building is preferred in dealing with strategic processes that determine competitive advantage. However, the decision is often dynamic and yields a hybrid of in-house development and commercial licensing using connectivity applications that integrate systems.
Does your team need some outside perspective on whether to build or buy your next application(s)?
