You are the program manager for your organization and you're trying to determine if you buy or build a software solution for your organization. If you build the solution it'll cost you $75,000 to create and it'll cost you

$12,000 per month to support. If you hire a vendor they can build the solution for $63,000 but their solution will cost you $15,500 per month to support. How many months would you have to use your in-house solution to equate to the cost of the vendor's solution?

Haha, this is a tough one. Kinda like trying to decide between homemade or takeout, you know? In the end, it's all about crunching the numbers. I think I'm going with option A, it just seems more straightforward.

You know, this reminds me of that time I tried to build my own furniture. Took me forever, and it ended up costing way more than just buying it. I'd go with the vendor's solution, option D seems legit.

I'm not so sure about that. With the vendor's solution, we'd be paying more per month, but we wouldn't have to worry about the upfront costs and maintenance. I'm thinking option B might be the way to go.

User 2: Yeah, I agree. Even though the monthly cost is higher, we wouldn't have to deal with the upfront costs and maintenance. Option B seems like the better choice.

But what if we end up needing the software for a longer period of time? Wouldn't it be cheaper to build our own solution?

Hmm, I'm leaning towards option C. It seems like the in-house solution would be more cost-effective in the long run, as long as we use it for at least 3.5 months.
