For this he was confronted with an investment decision. What is available in the market? Do we go for a custom solution? How does the total cost of ownership (TCO) match up with each solution and how does it benefit the end customer in terms of liquidity, maintenance cost and risk?

The custom solution was quickly off the table as it could never compete on price. It left the direct Visma Business integration solution and DataBridge as two viable options, each with a similar cost structure (TCO) but a different approach to the problem.
