Bill Brooks, the global chief data architect for Mercer Inc., has guided two such projects, one from its inception and another through its ongoing evolution to support a changing business, including evaluating a possible migration to a COTS solution. \nBill will discuss: \npros and cons of a homegrown solution\nlessons learned in two successful case studies\na basic phased approach to manage the scope of such a significant effort\nand tips for collecting information and evaluating the options in a build-versus-buy decision.
