Most build-vs-buy decisions in procurement technology get evaluated on sticker price... And by the time the integration bill shows up, you're already in production.

This week, Joël and Matt break down why the real question isn't build vs. buy, it's how many integrations you're willing to own.

They walk through the five cost drivers that actually determine total cost of ownership (TCO), and the three-question heuristic for knowing when a capability belongs in your core system versus when it's safe to bolt on.

For procurement and IT leaders staring down a best-of-breed pitch, evaluating an internal build, or trying to figure out why last year's "quick integration" still isn't reconciling cleanly.
