Assess custom software scope, build-versus-buy decisions, architecture, delivery costs and long-term ownership.
Custom software is useful when the workflow or integration requirements are poorly served by existing products. Compare those requirements against configurable commercial tools before choosing to build.
Define the smallest valuable release and its data model, integration boundaries and acceptance criteria. Include maintenance and operational ownership in total cost, not only implementation.
This topic brings together planning and implementation guides. The commercial service page describes how NextPage approaches a scoped software engagement.
