About "Buy and Build: Creating Customized Technology Solutions" topic:

Given today�s state of technology it doesn�t make sense to build all technology solutions from scratch. It�s also unwise to think that vendor solutions will be 100% suitable to current and evolving business needs. A better option is to buy solutions that have been built for mass use and then customize the modules to address unique business needs as they emerge and evolve. How to determine what to buy and what to customize and understand both the role and limitations of customization. Discuss here....

There is not a single facgtor for buy vs build. But it is actually mix of multiple factor's. 1 - If buying is cheaper then building than why build 2 - If you do not have enough time in hand to build then buy 3 - If organization doesnt have...

Vignesh Nadar  |  Argues in support of  "BI application"  |  1 year ago
1) Customization is the Selling Point of the Product (Example: Remedy, HP Openview, etc) as Users can Customize the application at their Needs (and risk) But 2) Customization is against the favor of Standard App design and functionality. Which...

Target here was something similar to what would have been accomplished in the BI Apps project. There is a lot of work to be done on a Data Warehouse project and a lot of work to be done on a BI Project. Putting the two together required...
Mallikarjuna Gupta Bhogavalli  |  Argues in support of  "BI application"  |  3 years ago
Going for customization is always a risky and costly affair. If people go for customization then there is not track of changes and only dependent on a few people. If it s a product like BI then on the shelf products are always advisable.

If we analyse the nature of students' demand, what they want as customers are: Expert Teaching Quality Learning Resources Well-structured Courses Either Marketable Skills or a Strong Brand or even both Flexibility Fair Assessment The concept that that all learning can be made fun and easy is flawed. Although it should be interesting, the task is to teach skills. It is difficult to get away with poor quality teaching any longer. However, in the area of assessment, there is insufficient objectivity and discipline at present. There is a strong case that all assessment should be anonymous and conducted at arm’s length. WINNERS AND LOSERS There are however a number of areas of new demand which fundamentally represent good news for those in the education sector who can ride the wave in a clever way: the knowledge worker; business advice; the law; health; "edutainment"; financial planning. Not everyone can win. Among the winners   in these changing conditions are likely to be: those who...

In many ways, a manager has to be a leader, so therefore a manager will have many of the traits that a leader does. However, I feel the term 'manager' applies primarily to business, it's in a manager's best interest to lead his co-workers effectively, encouraging them to achieve their goals and targets. In my experience, a leader is more of a social thing; more associated with team work, too. Go to Discussion http://lnkd.in/wUJe5E

HI The most stressful part of job interview is to get stuck in those questions which are generic in nature but nevertheless difficult to answer. Here is a few answers to those questions, that should help you. 01 Tell us about yourself? For a long time, I would go around talking about my place of birth, education and work experience etc etc. Then I  realised how silly it sounds. Interviewers want to know the candidates skillsets, strengths and achievements in the past and how these are related to the requirement of job. For example: “I am really passionate about my work. Whatever I do I do it with full of my dedication, determination and devotion. I am working in insurance sales for last two years and that has given me a lot confidence and taught me the importance of time management and goal setting. I have been consistently achieving my targets for the last 3 quarters. I also have organized and been part of various road shows and counseling activity for lead generation”. To read...

  This is an ‘untold story’ from Mahabharat, published in a Sanskrit Magazine, many years ago. My father used to read it out to me and translate into my mother tongue. It goes like this: Duryodhan is lying in the battle field, awaiting death, badly bruised by the wounds inflicted by Bhima. He kept his three fingers in a raised position and is unable to speak. All the efforts made by his men to understand the meaning proved to be futile. Seeing his plight Krishna approached him and said “I know what issues occupied your mind. I will address them”. He clarified that the issues are a)      not building a fort around his capital city, b)      not persuading Vidur to participate in the battle c)      not making Aswathama as commander-in-chief after the death of Dronacharya. Krishna explained further that (a) Assuming that you built a fort, I would have asked Nakul to mount the horse and destroy the fort, (b) If you succeeded in persuading Vidur to participate in the battle, I would have...
