Agenda Day One
9:45 AM Think Tank: BALANCING CONTROL AND CONVENIENCE – THE BUILD VS. BUY DEBATE
CDOs face a critical decision whether to build custom data solutions in-house or purchase on-the-shelf solutions from vendors. This choice goes beyond mere cost considerations, with a focus on fundamental aspects of organisational strategy, competitive advantage and long-term flexibility. As data becomes increasingly central to business operations, the build vs. buy decision has far-reaching implications for a company's ability to innovate, adapt, and maintain control over its data assets.
- Learn a framework for when to build for strategic advantage and when to buy for operational efficiency.
- Understand the hidden costs and benefits of both approaches, including long-term maintenance, scalability and integration challenges.
- Explore strategies for hybrid approaches that combine the best of both worlds, such as customizing off-the-shelf solutions.
