Application Development:

Make-or-buy decisions are a fact of business life. When it comes to Web-enabled or business process application software, however, choosing between an off-the-shelf package and custom development can be a make-or-break decision for your business.

Certain generic business applications such as sales automation, customer relationship management, and distance learning have been widely commercialized into packages that provide an attractive alternative to custom development. But in today's collaborative new world of business, company-specific needs for automated solutions in areas such as marketing, product innovation or supply chain management can't be met effectively by a one-size-fits-all package. Inertia can help.
