The Hidden Costs of Building Your Own LATAM Localization for Business Central
Building a Latin American localization for one client can look cheaper than a license. But a localization is a product, not a project. It must keep up with frequent regulatory changes, two every year and month-end support emergencies, indefinitely. This white paper gives partners the full picture of build vs buy localization decisions for Business Central in LATAM.
What you’ll learn about build vs buy localization
- Why partners consider building their own localization, and where that reasoning falls short
- The visible and hidden costs across requirements, development, integration, testing, documentation, support and maintenance
- How regulatory change and the Business Central release cadence turn a one-time build into a permanent commitment
- The risks of compliance liability, key-person dependency, missing certification and upgrade blockers
- A five-year total cost framework you can fill in with your own rates and your client’s scope
- When building actually makes sense, and how to combine a certified core with a thin custom layer
