Its always a tough series of decisions – To buy new software or build it? To build from the ground up or to create “extensions” and “customizations” for a package. The questions seem as endless as the possibilities.
And even when you decide to build or even extend a purchased product, what technologies do we use? What software do we code in? What database? Do we go with open source technologies that are “free” or proprietary products we need to license?
