Build vs Buy Software Assessment
Compare standard software, integrations and custom development against your workflow, users and longer-term needs.
How unusual is your workflow?
An indication based on your answers, not a technical audit, quotation or ROI prediction. Unknown answers do not establish that something works. Answers are not stored or sent to a service.
Methodology and limitations
Good package fit and limited workflow variation favour standard software. Partial fit with feasible connections favours integration. Custom development requires a distinctive strategic workflow, poor package fit, a longer lifespan and adequate ownership and requirements. Missing foundations or many unknown answers lead to further investigation. This is not vendor selection or a financial estimate.
Frequently asked questions
Does a custom recommendation mean replacing everything?
No. A limited component alongside existing software may be enough. Always compare alternatives.
Are costs calculated?
No. Estimates require functions, integrations, contracts and maintenance arrangements.
Can I use the result for procurement?
Use it to start a discussion, not as a final decision. Test real user scenarios and vendor conditions.
