6. Consider large-scale customization when:

  • No shrink-wrapped software meets 50% of your needs
  • No combination of commercially available and small-scale customizations will meet 75% of your needs
  • Using shrink-wrapped solutions will require extensive advanced training of many people
  • The users tend not to stay in the job for very long
  • The application is used only occasionally (once or twice a month), but is crucial to your operations
  • The problem to be solved by the application is essential to your business operations and cannot be solved in any other way
