Buy (xRM) |
Locked to vendor
Locked to vender schedules
Customizations to fill GAPs (if any)
Licenses
|
Configuration more than development
Faster go to market
Use vender enhancements
“Standard”
Shop GAP’s as modules or vertical solutions |
|
Build (.Net or any other langauges) |
Expensive
Longer delivery cycles
Harder to rapidly change
Innovation |
Tailor application bit by bit
Re-use existing infrastructure
Better control over developer process
