Custom software vs off-the-shelf: where the line actually is

The honest rule: if a standard product covers about 80 percent of your process, buy it. Build only when the remaining 20 percent is the part that earns the money — and count the cost of workarounds on both sides before deciding.

Resultaten

  • Packaged software wins on speed to value and vendor-funded improvement
  • Custom wins when your process is the competitive advantage
  • Per-seat licences penalise growth; build cost does not
  • Workarounds are a real cost — measure them in hours per week
  • Hybrid is common: keep finance packaged, build the operational layer
