The Buy Mandate Just Caught Up with the Build-It-Yourself Pitch
Thank you for your interest in this resource!
Federal agencies face increasing pressure to justify custom software development as procurement policies increasingly favor commercial solutions for entity resolution. This resource provides a practical comparison of the costs, risks and outcomes associated with building an entity resolution solution in-house versus adopting a proven commercial option.
Using GAO risk data alongside case studies from Alameda County and ERIC, the analysis examines the real-world tradeoffs agencies should consider when evaluating their options. It provides a clear framework for understanding how timelines, budgets and outcomes can differ between custom development and commercial solutions.
Inside the resource, explore:
- The real costs associated with building entity resolution capabilities in-house

- How commercial solutions compare with in-house builds
- Timelines and budget considerations for each approach
