BlueOcean Framework

Where Off-the-Shelf Software Reliability meets Customized Software Flexibility

Software solutions are usually divided into two categories - "Off-the-Shelf Software Solutions" and "Customized Software Solutions". Organizations are usually forced to choose between these polar opposites while trying to satisfy their needs, increase efficiency and seek out or enhance competitive advantage. This leads to a dilemma as both types of software solutions have their advantages and disadvantages:

Off-the-Shelf Software Solutions:

1. Advantages: Works well for commodity and non-business-critical functions such as payroll and basic accounting. Can be implemented fairly quickly. Significant functionality/efficiency due to extensive user base/testing/revisions.
2. Disadvantages: Limited customization, must wait/hope that vendor will add any additional requested functionality in future releases. Other companies may be using the same software as you so there is no real competitive advantage for you. May have to bend business processes to fit software. Possibility of significant time and costs associated with upgrades of software and/or hardware.

Customized Software Solutions:

1. Advantages: Full customization is possible, allowing for competitive advantages and adherence to unique business processes. Increased user satisfaction/buy-in if program does everything they want it to do.
2. Disadvantages: Longer implementation times and higher costs. Must still rely on vendor for most change requests/modifications. Possibility of significant time and costs associated with upgrades of software and/or hardware.
