With the constant influx of providers and solutions, it can often be difficult to assess which one is most suited to your needs and model, whether you are building from the ground up or adding onto your existing stack. What’s more, with capacities accelerating quickly in-house, it can be even trickier to determine whether buying offers more than building. External solutions tend to be necessary in certain cases (although there is growing hesitancy), but each situation will require a tailored solution to make sure it is just right for you and your team and aligns in the long term with your business model and goals. Join this session to consider the decision-making behind the scenes of each solution, and the implications of efficient collaboration with third parties.
