The decision to build custom software or buy a pre-built solution remains relevant in 2024.

Understanding the Landscape:

Market Saturation: The software market offers a vast array of solutions, with many addressing common business needs.
Evolving Technologies: Cloud-based solutions and integration tools have simplified development and deployment processes

Factors to Consider in Building vs Buying Software:

  1. Integration: Ensure the chosen solution integrates seamlessly with your existing software and infrastructure.

  2. Open-source options: Explore open-source alternatives that offer some level of customization without the full cost of building from scratch.

  3. Low-code/no-code platforms: These platforms allow building basic functionalities without extensive coding knowledge.
