Buy Advantages

ACCOUNTABILITY.  If a commercial program doesn't work, there's a vendor on the hook to make it work.  Users have a weapon, their license fees, to make sure the vendor delivers the goods.

CORE BUSINESS.  Focus on what you do best at and not get side-tracked with code development. Calculate the time, money and resources it will siphon off your business before you take on the build juggernaut.  You may be biting off more than you can chew.

QUICK-TO-MARKET.  A solution is available to you today - you won’t have to wait months for it to be built.  If you are willing to sacrifice functionality for speed, this option may be for you.

INTEGRATION.  Tight integration built into a vendor’s software suite of offerings provides a compelling argument of seamless data transfer between applications and reduced integration costs.  These trappings can lead to vendor lock-in concerns.

LESS RISK.  You know what you are buying. Your vendor can demo it, reference happy clients and test drive it.  If you are satisfied with software that performs 80% of your needs, this package is for you.
