Check the explanation

Explanation:

After going through the User Requirements:

1. We would choose SaaS if we need any of the following according to the User Requirement:

Scalable usage Flexible Payment options Automatic Updates Accessibility and Persistence

2. We would get a ready made system from a vendor if:

The product of the another vendor satisfies all the user requirement. The product purchase would incur profit.

3. We would develop the system internally with our own resources if:

The data and information provided by the client is of high privacy. There is no available product in the market which would satisfy the user requirement.

4. We would go for any other implementation options, if none of these satisfies.
