Data integration platforms - build or buy?
Many data projects start as in-house improvement projects of existing processes and slowly grow in complexity, until they become too big to manage. At that point, an important decision needs to be made – whether to buy a commercial software to help solve the problem or implement a solution in-house.
In this video we look at the benefits and downsides of building vs buying when it comes to data integration solutions, including:
When to build your solution in-house and when to look for a commercial solution
How to use your vendor to get your results quickly and reliably
The reasons why you might want to switch to ‘buy’ mode sooner rather than later
The importance of effective communication and collaboration with vendors during evaluations and proof of concepts (POCs)
The differences between building and buying at every stage of the process, from development through to deployment and ongoing support and maintenance
