AI is changing one of the oldest decisions in enterprise software: Build vs. Buy.
Today, AI can help a developer or business analyst create a working application in hours rather than weeks.
But a working application isn't the same as a production-ready application.
Security, identity management, integrations, compliance, monitoring, backups and ongoing maintenance still need to be addressed. And once an application is in production, someone needs to own and support it for years.
Buying enterprise software shifts much of that responsibility to the vendor. Building gives you greater flexibilityโbut the full lifecycle still matters.
So has AI changed the Build vs. Buy decision? Absolutely. But perhaps not in the way many people think.
We explore that question in our latest GW Apps article: ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ ๐๐. ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป.
