One of the most expensive decisions a fintech can make is rebuilding infrastructure that already exists.
Barry Bernstein, Managing Director, COO – Technology Services at ViewTrade, explains why the build-versus-buy decision goes far beyond engineering costs.
Running regulated financial infrastructure can also involve compliance, licensing, reporting, audits, operations and regulatory oversight.
Those requirements may not all be obvious at the beginning. But over time, they can consume resources that could otherwise go toward the product, customer experience and growth strategy.
The alternative is to use proven infrastructure for the capabilities that already exist and focus internal resources on what makes the business different.
Build what differentiates your business. Don’t rebuild the infrastructure underneath it.
