Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Outsourcing to a company specializing in that technology would be the best choice as the business need is not core to the business and in-house functional or technical experience does not exist. Hiring a specialized company would provide the necessary expertise and skills to successfully execute the project. Additionally, having a highly skilled project manager would help ensure the outsourced work is managed effectively. Using in-house/custom development or purchasing a software package would require the necessary skills and resources that the company may not have. Buying an ERP system may not be necessary or cost-effective if the business need is not a core function. Hiring a consultant may also be an option, but it may not provide the long-term expertise and support needed for the project.
