Consider the scenario. The ABC Company is a small business that has grown rapidly over the last several years. As a result, they realize they need to develop an information system to support a new area within their organization called Product management. They currently run two information systems for their business with a limited IT staff of four. The staff includes:a database administrator (DBA) an analyst to monitor their existing systems and make modifications a network analyst to administer the communications channels and networks a part-time software programmer. These resources of the company are good but not plentiful. The organization cannot afford to make a mistake in building the new system. They have hired you to make a recommendation on how they should develop their new system.

The considerations are to build it in house, outsource the entire building process to an outside firm, or take an off the shelf system and modify it as needed. What would you suggest?
