The Buy (COTS) v. Build (Custom) Argument COTS

  • Cheaper acquisition and deployment costs
  • Thoroughly Tested
  • Documentation included
  • Over time, the number of applications have increased dramatically
  • COTS software packages, even customized, are probably less suited to your firm’s specific needs and challenges
  • You can readily make changes as necessary
  • You can specify which modules to include
  • You control the quality of documentation

Build

Bottom Line

  • BUY if the system if a fundamental requirement of doing business
  • BUILD if the system gives you a competitive advantage
