Which COTS software is right for your business?

Although custom applications can be helpful and unique to your business, sometimes COTS software choices save you time and money. Aciron has the expertise to guide you through making a build vs buy decision. In some cases, if your business and tech requirements don’t warrant a custom software, then a commercial off-the-shelf product may end up meeting your needs and fit your budget.

What is the benefit of COTS software over custom software applications? Should your business use a COTS product or custom software?

Each commercial-off-the-shelf application provides a varying level of customization. Some are more rigid than others. The short answer is yes, you may be able to customize COTS applications to meet your needs. It all depends on the product you choose and the requirements you are trying to satisfy.

What if COTS meet most of our needs, but we want to further customize?
