November 16, 2009 by Nick Hession

Every Organization looking to implement mobile technology is forced to make this same decision: Do I make my mobile application, or buy it? There are several options to consider.

Make (i.e. Develop)

Pro	Con
Get Exactly what you want, fits exact business need.	Long Development Cycles (6-9 Months when hard-coded) Expensive to Develop Costly to Maintain

Buy

Pro	Con
Inexpensive, can be purchased off the shelf Quick Implementation	Doesn’t fit exact business need.
