Custom Software Solutions

Transform your ideas into technology assets that drive exceptional business results

Build for differentiation, buy for parity

In the ever changing business environment, information technology has become a critical component of companies’ day-to-day operations and their long-term success. Thus, for many organizations there is a question whether to build a custom software application or buy a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution. Here is our take on this dilemma.

Competitive advantage

Build Custom Software

Yes — your competitors won’t have the solution you have.

Buy Сommercial off-the-shelf solution

No — your competitors can buy the same solution and replicate your approach.

Fit to your needs

Build Custom Software

Perfect solution built to solve your unique challenges — no sacrifices in requirements, no unwanted features.

Buy Сommercial off-the-shelf solution

May not meet all your requirements. May not be compatible with the existing systems and applications.

Ease of modification / expansion

Build Custom Software

Very easy — you own the software and can modify it any way you want.

Difficult in most cases — you don’t control your software product roadmap.

Cost

Build Custom Software

Larger upfront investment, but higher ROI over the life of the product — perfect match with your needs means greater efficiency.

Lower upfront investment, but higher total cost of ownership — customization, ongoing license/subscription fees, process workarounds and inefficiencies add to the overall cost.

Implementation speed

Build Custom Software

Moderate — with agile development, you will have a minimal viable product fast, letting it evolve iteratively.
