When you need an integrator
- New data center, network or security infrastructure.
- Supply and setup of hardware and vendor licences.
- Connecting many existing systems across a large organisation.
When you need a custom software company
- The off-the-shelf product does not fit your process.
- You need a new platform, registry, portal, mobile app or AI system.
- You want to own the code and change it as the business changes.
Combining both
- Agree in the contract who owns architecture, integrations, infrastructure, security, source code and support.
- Ask the software company for experience with government-scale and regulated projects, not only small sites.
