ReUse, then Buy, and lastly Build, that is the traditional decision-tree to solve business objectives with software. As a matter of fact, an off-the-shelf product is often used to specify the ‘wants’ for the intended solution, but without a blank canvas, defining the real ‘needs’ that will lead to a smart decision on reuse – buy – build, is hard to do. Consequently, the risk-reward scale will jump between ‘wait and see, leave it as it is for now’ and ‘let’s just buy new and customize it into compliance’.
As an SME considering Digital Transformation, you may be concerned about scaling up digital landscape or replacing legacy software that still offers the basic functionality. These are your options:
- Reusing existing software can save time and money, but it may not meet the specific requirements or expectations of the users or customers;
- Buying off-the-shelf software can provide standard functionality and quality, but it may not be flexible or adaptable enough to accommodate changing needs or preferences;
- Building custom software from scratch can offer full control and customisation, but it may be costly, time-consuming, and risky.
