To Build or Buy? That is the Question / DataXstream
Twenty years ago, standard practice for businesses was to address needs with a custom-built solution. Large groups of specialty consultants would work with the business to create solutions designed just for them. Today businesses have the opportunity to look to SAP Certified Solutions like those in the SAP Store. This whitepaper “To Build or Buy?” explores the question of whether organizations should build their own custom software solution, or to simply buy a pre-built order management software (OMS) solution for a quicker return on investment. This document will explore common myths regarding Do-It-Yourself (DIY) software, as well as provide a compelling case study highlighting Marty Menard from Pacific Coast Supply, LLC, a diversified building supplies distributor that operates across the West Coast. Marty Menard details the lessons they learned through their own experience of modernizing their legacy SAP system and how they had to grapple with the question of when does software customization become technical debt? Download this paper to receive compelling insight, examples and lessons learned to use with your organization when considering your next DIY software project.
