Build vs. Buy?

Reaching a certain size companies are better off with their own in-house custom data system?

As always, it depends. But if the company is ambitious about reaching a dominance in the market, I don’t see how a company would do it without a proper data platform to run various services and models on top. When you know that the average company gave between 120 and 350 SAAS solutions, it becomes clear that integrating all workflows is almost impossible. You have to prioritize and for that the first step is often a data product that models the value streams.

Knowing there building is becoming 10 times cheeper with the AI tools, I’d say the build option is a no brainer.
