Best of Breed (BOB) Correct Answer Means using a specific
software program or package for each specific application or
requirement. These are selected based upon their ability to meet
the organization's specific needs better than any other available
program. They may be from several vendors and may not be the
low-cost package.
While the program does an excellent job in meeting the needs, it
may not be able to communicate with other applications the
organization is using.

is either printed out from one package and manually input in to
the next or the packages are linked either by the vendor or using
a third party "middleware" package or interface system.
