Buy vs. Build: the Million-Euro SCA Question

In the case of Buy vs. Build, a quick SWOT analysis should help answer the following types of questions:

1. Is this development strategic for our core offering?
2. Do we have the necessary knowledge, skills, and experience to handle this development and its continued maintenance?
3. What is the overall cost assessment for either option?

However, it becomes a bit trickier when talking about SCA because SCA is not just about technology - it sits somewhere between software and regulation. At Okay, we’ve worked hard to develop a state-of-the-art SCA solution that delivers consistent benefits to our customers.

The constant discussions we have with our customers also drive our roadmap so that any new development is industrialised and avoids lock-in. Buy vs. Build will always be a tricky question to answer.
