Digital Strategy Dilemma: Choosing Between Software Build vs. Buy In Digital Transformation
When guiding clients through their digital strategies and transformation journeys, one of the initial questions that arises is whether to build or buy software. Before delving into the discussion, I would like to acknowledge that most individuals hold strong opinions on this matter, particularly those with extensive industry experience. For instance, those working for software vendors tend to lean towards the buy option, while individuals employed by custom development shops or developers themselves often favor the build option due to their areas of expertise. However, it is important to transcend these biases and objectively examine the two distinct paths available in the digital transformation journey.

In the realm of digital transformation, I believe we can learn from our childhood curiosity.
