"Enterprises elect to bring offshore operations onshore or in-house for a number of reasons. While performance certainly can play a role, motivations also include strategic business reasons and a belief that the enterprise can perform the function better and more cost effectively than the offshore service provider. Or, maybe it’s convinced that the value generated by increased service quality (via shorter cycle time, reduced error rate, better customer satisfaction) that’s, in theory, achieved by performing functions in-house or via an onshore model will more than offset the increase in costs." Andy Sealock at Information Week Becoming Lean and embracing a modern DevOps approach to IT management takes more than a couple of meetings and purchasing yet another piece of project management software. Becoming lean means the entire organization must often change ways in which different departments have interacted. Becoming lean means breaking down silos and barriers to communication and ensuring they do not sprout up again after several months.

For virtually any need there is already a Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software product that will purport to meet your requirements. So let's look a five reason why you might consider the build option: Key, Must Have Features are not Yet Available When looking at a COTS product it is a virtual certainty that several features that are absolutely must haves are not available in the current version. Difficult and Expensive to Customize Your organization's needs are unique and while a COTS product will undoubtedly fill a majority of your requirements there will be things that you will want to change about it. COTS products are difficullt to customize if customization is even allowed. Customizing many COTS products will void support agreements with the vendor. Integration is Never as Easy as Promised The COTS vendor presented a very compelling demonstration of the wonderful features provided by their product. "It's going to be easy to install and configure," they said. Of course we've all been there and the reality is integrating an off the shelf product into your existing systems is not going to be simple. Difficult and Expensive to Extend The one constsant in the IT would is that change is constant. Your business needs will change in order to keep up with changing technology, customer demands and regulatory requirements. COTS vendors cannot keep up with the many different demands from all of their customers. They have to focus on delivering products that satisfy a majority of their client's needs and cannot attempt to deliver functionality that is unique to your organization. Ongoing Costs and Forced Upgrades COTS products have many ongoing costs both for licensing and maintenance as well as the dreaded forced upgrade because a version that still works perfectly well for your organization is not longer supported It is a common misperception that building custom solutions is always more expensive than simply purchasing a COTS product. If your requirements are exactly the same as a large group of customers then that is quite likely true. So if you need a software program for word processing your needs are unlikely to be all that different than millions of others. In a case like this a COTS product will be less expensive and provided far more feartures and functionality than a custom solution. But this is not an example of an Enterprise solution. Requirements Assessment Design and Planning Project Implementation Ongoing Support The Acumen Foundation has a great depth of experience implementing custom solutions using a wide array of development platforms, languages and techniques.
