Tinkoff is confident that the stories with the acquisition of ready-made vendor solutions, their support and revision, often many years old, are losing their relevance.
| | We see and ourselves support the trend, when increasingly development is carried out either to order or within the company. This often reduces time-to-market and allows you to use an iterative approach in deliveries, and the products themselves better meet business requirements, the company explained to TAdviser. | |
Tinkoff believes that the development of this trend is also facilitated by the development of technologies that provide more and more space for the implementation of products based on individual components instead of monoliths with a long production cycle and poorly predicted delivery times.
| | More and more companies are developing in-house, we see confirmation of this in the labor market, the demand for developers, analysts, testers and other participants in the development process has been steadily growing in recent years, Tinkoff says. | |
