How Corporate IT Departments Are Doing More With Less
“The Build versus Buy Decision from Journyx
The build versus buy decision is often a hard one since software vendors routinely over-hype their products. Buying point products that are “best of breed” and simple enough to be piloted in your environment with your data is the only way to get past the hype. Buying suite products that attempt to automate everything imaginable, always entails a high upfront cost and a high risk of project failure. Some vendors have gotten this message and are starting to modularize their products.”
>> For our internal time tracking, we installed and tried a lot of third party applications and weren’t satisfied with any of them…so we built our own. It is time consuming building your own tools…if you can find a third party tool that’s affordable and does what you need it to do there usually is not a compelling reason to re-invent the wheel. – Michael
