Or depending on your needs, budget, and timeframe a purchased solution is
probably more cost effective. Our company has a very robust WO based
CMS/portal application that has taken us 3 years and well over $2million of
time and cash to develop. We sell a license for a mere fraction of the
original cost. Customers get the benefit of a robust application that can be
supported cost effectively instead of investing the time and money into
developing a one shot standalone application that only the original
developer can support.
Too often developers end up developing solutions when they would be much
better off integrating an existing one. Just my two cents worth.
