Buy or build in-house?

Our model

TreasurUp developed it, tailors it to your bank, keeps it up-to-standard, manages it (SaaS model) if requested, input from multiple banks

Common model 1

Each engine has its own front-end: bank aggregates in business portal

Common model 2

Bank builds everything inhouse

Buy (COTS Saas solution)
vs Build inhouse consideration

Security & Compliancy

  • Extensive risk analysis and supplier assessment required
  • Most SaaS vendors have implemented highest security standards following regulatory requirements

BUY

  • Extensive risk analysis and supplier assessment required
  • Most SaaS vendors have implemented highest security standards following regulatory requirements

BUILD

ISO27001, SOC2 & PCI DSS (for payment systems) are minimal set of requirements.

Resources & Talent availability

  • Talent management responsibility is outsourced to the service provider

BUY

  • In-house team requires significant (one off and ongoing) investment in talent acquisition and retention
  • Actual real costs of in-house teams often not explicitized within banks

BUILD

Some banks incentify building inhouse teams

Level of control

  • Less control, but enhanced scalability and operational efficiency.
  • This control includes hiring decisions, daily operations/monitoring and ongoing maintenance and enhancements.
  • Internal team might have more in-depth knowledge of business operations and integration in wider system landscape.

BUY

  • Full control over software features, user experience, business processes.
  • This control includes hiring decisions, daily operations/monitoring and ongoing maintenance and enhancements.
  • Internal team might have more in-depth knowledge of business operations and integration in wider system landscape

BUILD

Key differentiator for a buy vs build decision. Related to the criticality of the system

Velocity/Time to market

  • Time-to-market of a (semi) SaaS solution is only a fraction of the in-house build solution, as the development has already been completed by the provider.
  • Only integration & customizations to be taken into account

BUY

  • Usually related to long lead times depending on complexity and resource availability.
  • The development process must account for requirements gathering, design, coding, testing and deployment phases each of which can experience delays

BUILD

This criterion is not applicable for concept/co-development approaches but only for finished & proven products

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

  • SaaS typically has a subscription-based model that eliminates upfront capital investments in infra, software licenses and personnel.
  • This approach converts fixed cost into variable expenses.
  • Main cost drivers Buy scenario: subscription fees, customization and integration costs.

BUY

  • Inhouse development requires substantial initial investments.
  • Next to core (development) teams, other business representatives may spend too much time on these non-core activities.
  • Main cost drivers Build: core and non-core resources, maintenance & support and project initiation phases

BUILD

Ultimately the business objectives and financial preferences (capital vs expenses) determine the value assessment.

Integration & Customization

  • SaaS requires seamless integration in the existing system landscape and needs to provide a tailored user experience.
  • Banks are required to invest in externally accessible and secure middleware platforms which enable the integration and maintain operational coherence.

BUY

  • In-house build will give greater control over integration architecture and mitigate the issue to have integration points/middleware externally available.
  • Requires significant additional investments

BUILD

Typical integration points are required for authentication/SSO, downstream transaction processing and reconciliation services.

Scalability

  • SaaS solutions often excel in scalability, providing elastic capacity that can adapt to changing transaction volumes and/or user demand without serious infrastructure investments.

BUY

  • In-house development will require a significant additional development to achieve the same level of scalability provided by cloud-based SaaS platforms.
  • Implementing a scaling mechanism for a bank is complex and resource intensive

BUILD

Most larger bank also run scalable container platform on their own cloud subscription of Azure and AWS

Innovation

SaaS vendors are focused on continuously improving and innovating their product based on client feedback and market/technology trends. Additional subscription fees for new services/features might apply however.

BUY

It is challenging and costly to continuously innovate with internal teams, as a lot of focus, however innovation can tailored to banks specific needs
