Relying strictly on commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) – the "one size fits all" approach – has several drawbacks. Such applications tend to be quite costly and are bloated with functionality you'll never use – or they lack the specific features you desperately need!
Your user community may find these solutions too difficult to use – greatly diminishing any return on investment. Too often they require a larger infrastructure and thus higher maintenance costs. New feature enhancements or customization can be difficult – if not impossible.
Although sometimes necessary, starting from scratch building a custom solution isn't always the smartest idea either!
