Build or Buy: Key Considerations for Your First Recommendation Engine

Published by Byteplus

Key Considerations For Your First Recommendation Engine

There are two approaches to implementing a recommendation engine: build in-house or buy a Software-as-a-Solution (SaaS) solution. Building an in-house solution offers the most flexibility to tailor the system to the business, but it takes longer to implement and requires a dedicated project team. Meanwhile, SaaS solutions can be implemented within weeks and cost less than in-house systems. However, they may not offer as many customizations.

With that said, due to global and sectoral factors, the trend is slowly but surely moving towards SaaS solutions. While both options present potential pitfalls, the versatility and long-term cost-effectiveness of SaaS-based recommendation engines cannot be ignored.

Ultimately, businesses must decide whether to assemble the resources they need to build and maintain a recommendation engine in-house or buy a SaaS solution. Several factors influence which strategy is the optimum for any business. The purpose of this e-book is to explore those factors and help companies decide on the best approach.
