Why Developing a Custom Solution?
There are three options for companies that need mission-critical applications.
First, companies can purchase off-the-shelf software - acceptable for smaller organizations that can get by using pre-packaged solutions. Unfortunately, companies often discover that they must modify their business practices to match the software's capabilities, not a good solution in most cases.
Second, companies can license one of the big software suites and add expensive, time-consuming modifications from vendor consultants to make the software fit their business. All software suites have built-in maximum functionality. Companies pay for features they don't use and pay again for modifications for features that they do. More time and more money gone forever.
Third, companies can commit to custom software development either internally or provided by firms such as Nibble. In the past, this option was sometimes lengthy and expensive. Clients sometimes ended up with applications that were slow, expensive and difficult to maintain. Recent changes in how software is designed, built, and deployed have significantly enhanced the attractiveness of this choice. Improvements in development languages, environments and tools make custom software development the optimal choice for software acquisition.
