Why consulting is necessary?

If you are not sure in your own abilities to make the correct decision about what software you need to meet your requirements, you'd better ask advice at professionals. Consultancy at software development can be really valuable thing especially when this sphere is new for you.

What is the main aim of consultancy? It is to choose the best software package, the most suitable technology (they vary depending on the tasks to be sold), to select the right team members.

You can't be an expert in everything, thus in order not to make many mistakes and fail the project, trust it to professionals. I understood it after reading the article 'Software Development Consulting' at Oxagile site. I thing this article is worth reading.
