Build or buy?
The short answer
The right question is rarely binary. Buy commodity and specialized technology where it makes sense. Build what differentiates the business. Integrate both. And preserve as enterprise assets the capabilities, knowledge, policies, evidence and architecture required to keep evolving.
How to decide
- Buy commodity and specialized technology
- Build what differentiates the business
- Integrate both
- Own capabilities, knowledge, policies, evidence and architecture
The Onni principle
Buy technology. Own capabilities.
The architecture behind it
- Vendors
- Capabilities
- Your architecture
