Replacing third-party tech with custom solutions

Gain greater control over your advertising technology, product roadmap, and costs by replacing limiting third-party platforms and components with custom-built solutions. 

arrow_circle_right REPLACING THIRD-PARTY TECH WITH CUSTOM SOLUTIONS

Are you experiencing any of these problems?

  • Third-party technology no longer meeting your requirements 
  • Your processes being shaped by the limitations of your software 
  • Increasing licensing, usage, or revenue-share costs 
  • Difficulty integrating third-party platforms with your existing tech 
  • Critical features dependent on a vendor’s product roadmap 
  • Limited access to or control over your data 
  • Difficulty differentiating your product using the same technology as competitors 

arrow_circle_right THE BUSINESS IMPACT

The impact of relying on third-party technology

Third-party technology can accelerate your initial time to market, but as your business grows, its limitations can restrict how your products evolve, increase technology costs, slow innovation, and leave critical parts of your business dependent on another company’s roadmap. 

Increasing technology costs

Limited product differentiation

Slower product innovation

Greater vendor dependency

arrow_circle_right THE HOW

The process for replacing third-party AdTech with custom technology

Evaluate

Assess your third-party technology against its cost, functionality, performance, integrations, data access, flexibility, and strategic importance. 

Prioritise

Identify the platforms and components where custom ownership can deliver greater control, differentiation, cost efficiency, or business value. 

Build

Design and develop custom technology around your specific workflows, data, integrations, customers, and commercial requirements. 

Migrate

Transition functionality, data, integrations, and workloads from the third-party solution without disrupting customers or revenue-generating operations.

arrow_circle_right HOW WE CAN HELP

We can help you replace third-party tech with custom-built solutions

01. Assess

Understand your current dependencies. 

We’ll assess your third-party technology, costs, contracts, functionality, workflows, integrations, data, performance, and dependencies to understand the role it plays within your business.

02. Evaluate

Determine whether building makes sense. 

We’ll compare the technical and commercial implications of continuing to rent versus building, including development costs, ongoing ownership costs, flexibility, differentiation, risk, and long-term business value. 

03. Define

Decide what you need to own. 

We’ll identify which capabilities should be replaced with custom technology, which third-party components should remain, and the functionality, integrations, data, and workflows the new solution needs to support.

04. Architect

We’ll design an architecture around your specific requirements for performance, scalability, data ownership, integrations, security, AI, and future product development.

arrow_circle_right OUTCOMES

Expected outcomes of replacing third-party technology

Replacing limiting third-party technology with custom-built solutions gives you greater control over your product, data, costs, and roadmap while creating technology designed around how your business actually operates. 

Greater technology ownership

Control the platforms and components that are strategically important to your products and operations. 

Greater product flexibility

Develop features, workflows, integrations, and capabilities around your requirements rather than a vendor’s limitations. 

Lower long-term costs

Reduce licensing, usage, revenue-share, and other third-party costs where custom ownership makes economic sense. 

Greater differentiation

Build proprietary capabilities that competitors using the same off-the-shelf technology cannot easily replicate. 

Greater data control

Control how your data is collected, stored, processed, accessed, and activated across your technology. 

Reduced vendor dependency

Set your own technology roadmap instead of depending on third-party priorities, product decisions, and release schedules.
