We’re extremely excited to announce the launch of our new white paper, ‘Build vs Buy: Comparing different approaches to software procurement’.

Designed specifically for National Governing Bodies (NGBs) and sports organisations, this resource explores one of the most critical decisions leaders face when adopting a new technology solution.

The choice between building a custom platform or adopting an existing solution can have a lasting impact on an organisation’s success, and this white paper has been developed to provide clarity on this decision - offering insights, expert advice, and actionable guidance to help organisations weigh their options effectively.

What’s in the white paper?

As you read through the paper, you will find a detailed exploration of key considerations, including:

  • Comparative Overview: A detailed comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of ‘building’ or ‘buying’.
  • Factors Influencing The Decision: An exploration of key factors that impact the ‘Build vs. Buy’ decision for NGBs.
  • Best Practices and Decision-Making Framework: A structured framework to guide NGBs in making informed technology procurement decisions.
  • ‘Total Cost of Ownership’ (TCO) Evaluation: An analysis of development costs associated with building a solution in-house.
  • Exploration of ‘The Third Choice’: Analysing hybrid solutions which combine customisation and pre-built reliability.

Whether your priority is minimising costs, accelerating implementation, or ensuring your tech evolves alongside your organisation, this white paper will support you to make the right choice.
