Complex problems sometimes need simple solutions. Creating custom software can sometimes be exactly the wrong thing to do -- a ready-made solution from a third-party software vendor might be the perfect solution for you.

Trike Systems' consulting group can provide you with the answer to the "buy or build" question. We can give you straightforward answers to questions about how best to deploy and operate a computing system.

In some cases we will recommend that you acquire software from elsewhere. We can provide consulting services to assist you in defining your problem, selecting candidates, and making a final decision. We can also act as your advocate when dealing with third-party vendors.

In some situations, we will recommend that custom software is required, but Trike Systems is not a candidate for the job. We can assist you with preparing an RFP (Request For Proposal) or an RFQ (Request for Quotation), evaluating those proposals or quotations, and making a final selection. Trike can act as an outsourced "project management" team for your project.
