Embedded Analytics: Buy or Build?
A guide to making the toughest decision in embedded analytics
Buy or build? This question has teased IT and development teams since the beginning of commercial software. When it comes to integrating software into other software—in this case, embedding analytics into your application—there is a lot to consider. Does the convenience and quality of third-party commercial software outweigh the cost-savings and fine-tuned control of building embedded analytics on your own?
In this webinar, we’ll lay out the pros and cons of both options and explain the trade offs of embedding third-party analytics software into your application versus building and embedding your own analytics.

This webinar is part of the Spring theme, Embedded BI: All Things Considered. There is a lot to evaluate when looking to embed analytics into your applications. Throughout the course of this theme we are exploring all of the major considerations ranging from how to get started and choose the right type of analytics to how to embed them, to how to configure security and deploy analytics in multi-tenant SaaS applications.
Each of the 4 themes throughout the year are actually sub-themes of a concept called Data as a feature. Data as a feature is about treating data as a core feature in your product or service and making data into a valuable asset to your users. This is a concept that we’ve collaborated on with O’Reilly Media and, if this sounds interesting to you, at the end of the webinar, I’ll point you to where you can learn about the concept further.
