6. J30 Buy Vs Build

There are a lot of companies where their IT teams decides to create a software solution versus buying a service which utilizes software to help make the process more efficient.

Now let us do the math to see if this strategy makes sense.

You have the option of paying $590 per year for QCsolver Inc. services which also includes the use of their software platform.

The salary for your developer is between $50 to $100 per hour. Now they say they can create what you need in 8 hours so your cost would be $400.

Except they want to make it better, so you had better add another $400.

The program will “break” at least once year and to schedule the time for the planning/engineering meetings will take another $1000.

The actual cost to do the work is another $200.

The person who created the program gets 8 weeks for holidays and one other person will need to be trained on how to learn how the software works while they are away. Extra cost of $400.

The total cost is now $2400 per year versus the original purchase price of $590.

That is why you should be using QCsolver Inc. versus creating your own solution.
