I vaguely recall that customization is often a limitation with COTS, especially when it comes to specific business needs.

I think COTS definitely saves time and money since it cuts down on development time, but I wonder if that applies to all types of software.

I remember discussing how COTS can be implemented quickly, but I'm not sure if "continuous development" is the right term for it.

This seems like a straightforward question about evaluating vendor software. I'll focus on the key criteria mentioned - seeing the product run on our current system.

I think the average P/E multiple from recent takeovers is key here, but I'm not sure how it interacts with the tax implications.
