Using third party tools doesn’t lock you out of them. Nothing stops you from the collecting that data before sending it off.
Every company outsources something fundamental. Does Google mine its own metal? Generate its own electricity?
Even if you did it on prem, that doesn’t save you from license renewal costs or upgrades. You can write the software yourself, but that’s not cheap either.
- paulryanrogers 6y agoIs metal and electricity Google's core competency though? I don't think anyone is arguing one should maintain their own silica, atoms, independent universe, etc .
- mr_toad 6y agoUsing Hadoop doesn’t mean your core competency is maintaining Hadoop. Analysts don’t want to be engineers.
- B1FF_PSUVM 6y ago> independent universe, Solipsystem, Inc. begs to differ. Having it your way is a booming business nowadays. (j/k, borrowed an SF title https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solip:System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solip:System )
