Choosing between custom development and off-the-shelf solutions isn't just an IT decision — it's a strategic imperative that can define your company's future. I explore this critical business decision through the lens of real-world examples.

Key takeaway: There's no universal answer, but there is a systematic approach to making the right choice for YOUR organization.

I highly recommend this book from Nick and Jean-Georges. It is hard to find a book that pays attention to different aspects of modernizing systems from other generations. 👏 Also, it includes plenty of practitioners' field stories, which gives a different color to it! 🎨

Happy to see that @ManningPublications is taking a holistic approach to their titles!
