Re: Custom Vs. COTS Transmissions
I think, for me, the question of "roll my own or pull it from the shelf" has always been answered by a couple things:
Resources Available - What do I have access to?
Opportunity Cost - What does using my limited resources to custom make this mean I can't do?
Need - Is there a real need?
Overall Benefit - What do I get out of building custom?
Available Options Fit - How well do the COTS things meet my goals?
Admittedly, I'm coming at it from the software perspective but I feel the decision process is similar.
