I’ve been transistioning from the attitude that building everything from scratch is the way to go. The time it takes to create an application from scratch (although fun) doesn’t seem worth it anymore. Companies, small business and organizations don’t have the time and money to go through a full development lifecycle. They would just as soon go into their local store and buy some shrink wrap software and just use it. That is where I fit in. Because, actually going to the store, unwrapping the shrink wrap, performing the installation, and, gasp, configuring and customizing is not nearly as easy as you would think. So, now I believe the way to go is to become an expert in several software packages, and be ready to install, configure and customize, while leaving the core products untouched. Thinking outside the box about out of the box software.
