Scaling Your Tech Stack: When to Build vs. Buy

Every growing company faces the build vs. buy dilemma. Should you invest in custom development or leverage existing solutions? The answer depends on your strategic priorities.

Evaluating Strategic Value

Some capabilities are strategic differentiators—worth building custom. Others are table stakes—better bought. We help organizations distinguish between the two.

The Cost of Custom

Custom development isn't just about initial cost. It's about ongoing maintenance, updates, and opportunity cost. We help organizations evaluate the full lifecycle cost.

Speed vs. Control

Buying is faster, but building gives you control. We help organizations balance these trade-offs based on their strategic priorities and market position.
