The Dilemma: Build or Buy?
Build Buy
Advantages Advantages
Custom HW/SW solution Off-the-shelf hardware/software solution
Maximum flexibility Use fewer resources because
Ability to get exactly what you want systems are pre-built
Shorter time to market
Disadvantages
Lower life-cycle costs
Long lead times for new product
Significant resource requirements Disadvantages
Higher life-cycle costs Often pay for much more than you need
Limited flexibility
Limited functionality
