At the end of the strategy phase, most clients are faced with a fundamental “make or buy” decision.Many chose to buy a commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) product and implement it.The growth of COTS like SAP, Seibel, Oracle, Peoplesoft and Microsoft is a testament to the popularity of this choice.
Hy-Flier has built skills around several industry leading platforms and some specialist ones to support clients who go down this path of implementing a COTS solution. When clients chose to go with a COTS product they usually agree to change their processes to suit the innate abilities of the product. This saves the firm from costly re-adaptations when upgrades come along. Some of these products are staggering in scope and complexity just as a client’s operations may well be – this is why implementations of large scale products are fraught with risk. The risk of change.
