Choosing and owning software
Buy, connect or build; who owns the code; how to choose a supplier and renew old software without stopping the work.
After this series you can:
- You decide per piece of work: buy, connect or build, and count your spreadsheet's hours and errors.
- You pick a supplier on your own requirements and record, before signing, that the code and data are yours.
- You arrange who maintains old or orphaned software, whom you call when it breaks, and what comes first.
