Before a custom build
Choose the right level of software investment.
The answer may be to buy, configure, integrate or build. Compare workflow fit, maintenance, risk and the cost of keeping today’s workarounds.
Configure
Adapt a capable platform when its underlying model matches the operation.
Integrate
Connect useful systems when manual transfer is the main bottleneck.
Build
Create a custom system when the workflow is valuable and distinct.

Common software questions
What to know before you begin.
Do I need a finished specification?
No. Bring one example of the workflow, the people involved, a difficult exception and the result you want to improve.
Will Moe recommend custom software in every case?
No. A standard product, configuration, integration or smaller process change may be the better answer.
Can Moe work with an existing team or vendor?
Yes, when architecture, access, acceptance and decision roles are clear. Moe can lead a layer, coordinate contributors or provide senior technical direction.
How is project risk controlled?
Open questions are addressed early, scope is divided into complete workflows and each release is reviewed against agreed acceptance criteria.
What happens after launch?
The delivery plan can include monitoring, documentation, support, knowledge transfer and scheduled improvements based on the system’s importance.
