Which approach is best?
To answer this, it's important to understand the benefits and disadvantages of each scenario.
If you build the solution, you have full control over the approach you take. This sounds great, right? But, consider the time and costs involved in producing the solution. It takes dedicated resources to scope, design, code, test, document and train employees how to use the solution. Plus, you have the ongoing costs to maintain compatibility and upgrade when new versions of Dynamics are released. This may be the perfect fit for a solution that is unique to a single customer because it affords you the opportunity to include all of the requirements specific to that customer.

What about solutions that are needed by multiple customers in a similar industry?
If you buy a ready-made ISV solution, you take advantage of out-of-the-box capabilities. You don't have the costs and resources tied up in the development phase, which means you can have your business consultants and sales force focusing on your next sale. You can implement an ISV solution immediately, reducing your implementation times. You still have the training time, but the maintenance, compatibility and upgrade costs are absorbed by the ISV provider.
