By value I mean the dollar (or rupee) business value of the program /
feature being proposed. No company should fund development or purchase of
any software unless there is a return business value associated with it.
If the business value is low, the cost of getting the software dominates
the equation and drives the wise company to purchase existing software
where possible, or to use a low-cost means of producing custom software,
e.g. offshoring.
If the business value is high, then cost is less important. If one way of
getting the software can start delivering real value in a month, and the
other way doesn't start for a year, we may prefer the faster way even if it
is more expensive.
