So What Can We Learn From the Model?

Packages should be considered for all Commodity processes.
If more than 15 - 25% of the package has to be customized to fit your processes
DON’T BUY!
When Should I Buy a Package?

Make sure they have well defined APIs to access everything
Why?
This will give you flexibility when a Core process needs to take advantage of your packages’ process and data.
When You Buy Packages . . .

Invest in a development platform and methods that reduces the risk and cost associated with change
Make tasks like refactoring fast, easy and low risk
Embrace a ‘Build to Change’ Mentality!
Stabilize the Cost of Change

Empower Shadow IT
Invest in technology that helps control the transition process from non-mission critical to mission critical
Easy to scale
Fast to change
Innovate With the Right Technology

Analyze your application portfolio using Moore’s the Core / Context model
Buy packages when:
They are for ‘stable’ commodity processes and require less than 25% change
The offer excellent APIs
Invest in technology and methods that will meet the needs of your core applications
Iterative ‘Agile’ development
Easy to scale
Fast and low risk to change
Embrace a “Build to Change” Mentality
Making IT More Efficient
