This IDC Perspective highlights some of the insights shared by IDC's CIO Advisory Board members. The focus of the meeting was to discuss the buy versus build decision in the context of delivering innovative digital capabilities. "Enterprises are increasingly interested in using digital technologies to differentiate themselves and potentially disrupt markets," said Nancy Gohring, research director for IDC's Future of Digital Innovation agenda program. "Delivering differentiating experiences requires custom software, making the build versus buy decision more important than ever. Topics such as technical debt, time to market, and talent availability are all central to the decision."
