Make Bug-Fixes Pay
Quality control in corporate application development is like the
weather: everyone talks about it, but no one does anything. Overhauling
your software development process makes sense if you can cut down the
number of $2 million fixes you have to do on newly integrated systems,
and demonstrate you're avoiding what could be a $200 million disaster
later on. See whether the quality control calculations work in your
favor using this planner in our Premium Tools Library.

============================================================
Get the Best For Less
Custom code gets you the features you want, but it's a lot more
expensive than off-the-shelf stuff. When does it make sense to buy
commercial, then customize the bejeezus out of it? Find out, using this
cost calculator from our Premium Tool Library.

=========================================================
Do Both Cost-Effectively
It doesn't matter how flawless your code is or how little you spend for
raw materials if the project comes in late and delivers something the
business can't use. A centralized project-management office can get
your ducks in a row, but risks squashing them with with top-heavy
bureaucracy. How do you steer a middle course that produces order but
not gridlock? Find out using this project map from our Premium Tools
library.
