Alex Vayner joins us to discuss if companies should buy vs. build AI capabilities
In this episode we discuss with Alex how executives should think about the decision of buying of-the shelf software solution vs. building the solution in-house, by yourself or with a partner. The conversation includes an overview of the pros and cons of each from both financial and technical perspective. We leave the audience with some actionable advice on how to go through the decision calculus on the question that increasingly faces today’s CXO’s who are looking to take their firms through the digital transformation.
