When it is worth choosing software development services instead of acquiring standart software? 

This question is almost like Hamlet's „to be or not to be“ and there is no straightforward answer. It is most important to consider conditions, in which your organization is today and what are its expectations and plans for the future. 

We provide one very simplified allegory:

You need a suit. Will you buy a standard suit from the shop or you will go to the tailor? The following aspects are to be considered: 

Purpose. What kind of suit do you need? For work, leasure or special occasion? Do you need to be outstanding and do not meet anyone else with the same suit? Do you need to be noticed, captured in pictures, described in press? Does your suit "work" for you, does it "pay off"?  If you have answered "yes" to all those questions - you will probably not hesitate long and will go to the tailor. 

Time. If you need suit for tommorow, you will most probably go to the shop and will look for standard suit, then you will buy tailor's services, to adjust it, in case it does not fit perfectly. Because you will hardly find a tailor, who would sew it during night from scratch.

Figure. If you know, that you have the figure, which is not standard  (long arms, legs, non-typical forms, etc.), and you know that you will not find standard suit that fits - you will probably without long hesitations go to the tailor and would pay twice to sew it, if quickly...

Finance. There is no clear suggestion. Usually it is more expensive to sew than to buy standard. But... if you choose the one from famous designers collections - it will not be cheaper as well...  

Similar questions apply when considering buying custom-tailored software developement:

• Purpose. Is information system needed for typical business processes (accounting, etc)  or for the unique core processess of your business, which delivers you competitive advantage?  In case this system is the backbone of your activity - have it custom-tailored for you and be unique.  We may assist you doing that, and to be more precise - we may develop it for you.  
• Time. In case you do not have time to develop - look for standard solution or at least for the ready components, which could be adapted for you. We invite you to look at the solutions developed by JSC "Esperonus". 
• The company. Does information system need to service your unique business processes or you will adjust your business processes to the possibilities of the standard system? In case you need a system that is tailored for you - choose software development services. 
• Budget. If you have only a very small budget, look for standard and cheap solution, but have in mind also, what are its further development, maintenance possibilities, and while considering remember one Lithuanian proverb "greedy pays twice".  Therefore, it is better to find better system, which may be acquired in parts and then step-by-step install it and computerize all business processes. Professional software developers will suggest, in which order to implement system based on the availability of financial resources and the ROI (Return On Investments).  But in order to exploit this consulting properly, trust is needed among parties and willingness to cooperate. 

One more important aspect when applying suit allegory in the information systems decisions. You most probably have more than one suit in your closet and most probably you change them every season? What about the information systems? If you consider buying a web-site, then it is healthy to renew web-site often. Visitors of the web-site see the renewal, progress. You may change the design of the web-site according to the seasons or special occasions, following the marketing strategies.

But if you develop information system for long-term? Then an allegory of living house suits better.  Usually people wish to have a dream house: convenient, advanced, from modern materials, economical and complying with taste, style and lifestyle. You sleep, work, spend your leasure time and invite your guests there. You home is your castle. Therefore, when considering long-term investments in the information systems and looking forward for the unique results, software development is chosen more often.  In this case it is critically important to build proper basement and to see the complete picture of the future house. If you create family, it is important to foresee how many children you plan to have and foresee rooms for them. Even if the budget does not allow to finalize the house at once (and maybe it is not even needed, if you do not have children yet), it is an obligation to foresee what will be needed in the future. And it is the wisest way to go. 

Let's leave the allegories and now only about IT and the most efficient solutions...
