Build vs Buy vs Integrate
Choose between SaaS, APIs, self-hosted models and custom build — deliberately.
Should this capability be bought, integrated, self-hosted or built?
Every sourcing choice commits you to a different future of cost, control and lock-in. This lab makes that choice explicit before contracts and code make it for you.
A decision, not a lecture
A short, intensive session built on the ADAAS decision method — scenario, choice, consequence, debrief, artifact. You don't listen to a talk; you make the call under realistic constraints and defend it.
- Frame the capability and its constraints
- Weigh control, cost, lock-in, data ownership and time-to-value
- Test each option against your real requirements
- Decide — and record what you are rejecting
A decision, a rationale, an artifact
You leave with a sourcing decision record: the option chosen, the alternatives rejected, and reasoning that survives later review.
Every ADAAS session ends the same way: a decision, the rationale behind it, and an artifact your organisation can act on and defend.
Who should be in the room
CTOs, architects, and procurement and product leaders making commitments that are hard to reverse.
