ManoMano's "make or buy" decision grid

In the tech world, the "make or buy" decision has become increasingly critical for product managers. With the rise of SaaS editors, there are tools available for almost any need imaginable. However, this can also lead to challenges such as migration and data ownership issues. ManoMano, a leading marketplace for DIY consumers across the UK and Europe, assesses several criteria when making "make or buy" decisions. These include data ownership, industry-specific needs, customization capabilities, backward compatibility, vendor reliability, cost considerations, and efficient RFP processes. The company's approach to these decisions is influenced by its DNA and ambition as a tech company.
