Packaged Software or Custom Software Development: Which One is Right For You?

When a business should buy packaged software and when it needs custom software.

Now that we've explained a little about the differences between
prepackaged "customizable" software and custom software development,
here are some hints to help you decide which is right for you.

Businesses that Should / Can Use a Prepackaged Software Application

1. Smaller companies; under 5 to 10 users, per-license cost might end up being lower than the T.C.O. (total cost of ownership) for a custom-developed software solution.

2. Companies that have no need to differentiate themselves from other companies based on their system, product or service.

3. Companies that have no special or unique business flow requirements (logic / rules); and can have all their needs met by the common functions in a prepackaged software application.

3. Package software or custom software; Which one is right for you?

1. Companies that have 10 or more employees / salespeople / field users / users may actually find the T.C.O. (total cost of ownership) of custom-built software less expensive than that of prepackaged, limited solutions.
(See: "Prepackaged Pricing" here > >)

2. Companies looking to harness the power of specialized system information in their business to promote sales and profits aggressively and who need to use their software to help them gain an edge or advantage that prepackaged boxed software doesn't provide.

3. Companies that have their own unique rules and business logic not reflected in standard packaged software solutions and whose day-to-day needs go unmet by the limited "customizability" of the packaged software.

4. Companies whose business itself is very specialized / unique.
