Build, Buy, or Go Hybrid?

A strategic decision every manufacturer must face when rethinking their MES (Manufacturing Execution System).

At BASSETTI GROUP, we support our clients in navigating complex technological choices. The latest Gartner® report — “Build, Buy or Go Hybrid With Manufacturing Execution Systems” — provides a valuable framework to assess your MES strategy in light of evolving processes, aging systems, or post-M&A integrations.

Our Key Takeaways:

  • Off-the-shelf MES solutions often cover only 70–90% of business needs.
  • Low-code and hybrid models offer greater flexibility without full custom builds.
  • Over-customizing COTS solutions can lead to high maintenance costs and upgrade challenges.
  • Building in-house makes sense — but only when your process or IP is truly unique.
