Buy vs Build

Buy versus build judge yourself! I would think xRM as a way of accelerate application development.

	Costs	Benefits
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
