Build vs. Buy: A Solution to the Classic Dilemma

build-vs-buy

Enterprises often face the dilemma of whether to build their own app or buy an app. Building an app can support specific functionality without compromise, but risks a design that, over time, may not meet their evolving needs. Buying an app can leverage features that have evolved across multiple scenarios and achieve results much faster, but can also limit important and strategic initiatives by driving business processes.

BillingPlatform is changing the way enterprises operate, allowing them to leverage the best of both worlds through an easily customizable cloud app, with powerful out-of-the-box features that evolve with changing demands.

The Dynamic Cloud Platform

The platform is based on what’s called ‘metadata-driven architecture.’ This essentially means that the system’s data model is describable so that it can be infinitely extended for easy and robust configuration of business rules, workflow, reports, dashboards, rating, invoicing, APIs, formulas, and even programming.

This also means that the core platform itself can be infinitely extended so that it will never become outdated. It can always grow and be reconfigured within your specific organization without altering the platform’s core functionality.

The benefit is that you get a system that is always new and always conforms to your way of doing business on a state-of-the-art infrastructure that can leverage today’s cloud ecosystem.

BillingPlatform eliminates the classic “Build vs. Buy” argument by providing the best aspects of both options. The efficient, modern cloud delivery is ideal for optimizing cost and flexibility.

THE BEST OF “BUY”

The system provides powerful out-of-the-box features that have evolved across several industries and scenarios to provide flexible and elegant support for highly diverse products, services, and business processes.
