Abstract
Summary In-house custom software development is an important opportunity for human service agencies. This paper presents a continuum of software development alternatives. Three discrete options, internal, external and collaborative, are described. Collaboration is illustrated in detail using the “CATS” example. While it is not a panacea, the benefits derived from collaboration are worthwhile.
