COTS Implementation
Decades ago, organizations often created their own large scale mission critical IT applications in house. Over time, however, these applications become more difficult and costly to maintain, since they often rely on dated technologies. More recently, public and private sector organizations have realized significant benefits from replacing, supplementing or enhancing their proprietary in-house applications with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) applications. This change promises improved functionality and reduced total cost of ownership, while allowing organizations to stay technologically current.
