If you need to solve a business process problem or meet a specific data collection need in your company, you might be considering building your own solution internally because you expect it cost less or take less time. You may also think that building a solution internally is the only reliable option to meet your complex needs while also staying in line with any applicable security, legal, or compliance restrictions in your industry.
While these may appear to be solid reasons, in many cases, building internally is more trouble than it’s worth, and you can achieve the same or better results by investing in ready-to-use data collection solution.
3 Problems With Building Internally
If you think your business need is too critical, too complex, and too customized to be handled by a third-party, first consider these issues with leveraging internal resources to build a solution to a need:
1. The Danger of the Unknown
If you haven’t built a system of this type before, you may find it doesn’t work as you expected. It may turn out to provide more functionality than you needed or not enough.
Ready-to-Use Solution: Proven by previous companies.
2. The Time Commitment
Building a system takes time, from mapping out how the workflow will progress, to the actual development and integration with your internal systems to the testing and training of staff.
Ready-to-use solution: Save time with a product that’s already built; you just customize.
3. The Reality of Opportunity Cost
The time spent on building a complex internal system to manage requests, applications, and other processes could be spent elsewhere on more impactful business initiatives.
Ready-to-use solution: Focus achieving goals, not building systems from scratch.
