Episode #75: Build vs Buy vs Rent - A Framework for Smarter Technology Decisions
The RaaP: Resourcive as a Podcast
<p>In this episode of #<em>TheRaaP</em>, Kyle Hall and Kyle Gotzman break down the full build buy rent framework and why skipping this step leads to wasted spend, missed differentiation, and frustration across the business.</p>
<p>They walk through:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Why build vs buy is an incomplete analysis</p></li>
<li><p>How to think about differentiation, durability, and time horizon</p></li>
<li><p>The real costs and risks of building software</p></li>
<li><p>When acquiring a product makes sense and when it does not</p></li>
<li><p>Why renting is often the right answer and when it becomes a trap</p></li>
<li><p>The growing “rent and extend” model most teams are actually using today</p></li>
</ul>
<p>The biggest takeaway: there is no universally right answer, but there are very clear wrong ones. The key is intentional, cross functional decision making before the technology choice is ever made.</p>
