Build vs. Buy: How to Make the Right Decision for your IoT Application

On-demand

Join KORE for an educational webinar that will provide the information necessary for IoT companies that need to make the fundamental “build vs. buy” decision. As part of it’s “DNA” – device, network, and application – any IoT solution needs a “thing”, or a device, to connect, posing businesses with the question: should I design and build the device for my IoT solution in-house? Or should I buy an off-the-shelf device? During this presentation, KORE will discuss the many key factors that must be considered during the decision-making process, examine the pros and cons of each option, and provide guidance for making the best possible decision for your unique business requirements.

This presentation will provide:

  • A basic explanation of the “build vs. buy” decision in regards to IoT device selection
  • Key areas of consideration that must be taken into account during the decision making process
  • A comparison of “build” and “buy” for each key consideration
  • Information around additional business-specific characteristics that may influence the decision
  • Best practices suggestions for both “build” and “buy” scenarios
