Internal Development Platforms
Build or Partner?

As organizations face evolving technological demands, Internal Development Platforms (IDPs) have become essential for building, operating, and scaling applications. However, midsize companies often struggle with the balance between flexibility and cost, while large enterprises deal with the complexity of supporting diverse business units and partner ecosystems. The challenge? Fully customized platforms can lead to project delays, increased costs, and missed opportunities, while relying on single vendors risks vendor lock-in.

You’ll gain insights into selecting the right strategy for innovation, cost control, and scalability.
