Webinar "People and Talent Advanced Analytics: Outsourcing VS InHouse Models"

The Data & Analytics director at NTTData, Gerzo Gallardo, participated in the webinar People and Talent Advanced Analytics: Outsourcing VS InHouse Models and analyzed the important topics that should be taken into account.

The People and Talent Analytics tools in companies and the decision whether to develop and maintain them internally or seek a partnership with an expert partner in the area was the discussion addressed in the webinar “People and Talent Advanced Analytics: Outsourcing vs InHouse Models” organized by Nala.

The session was moderated by Nala cofounder, María Fernanda Castillo, and the speakers were Carlos Castillo, CDO of the startup, and Gerzo Gallardo, Data & Analytics director at NTTData. The latter analyzed the important points to consider when approaching analytical projects.

The first thing he highlighted was the importance of taking into account the functional needs of the project, secondly he mentioned its flexibility and scalability and the need to integrate it with other applications.

As a third point, he emphasized the importance of having control over the ownership of the project, especially if it is essential for the business. Another relevant topic is the implementation time, since some projects can take a long time.

He also pointed out the cost/benefit of doing it internally versus hiring external services and finally the distribution of the obtained information or change management.

Likewise, among the costs, the three participants agreed on the importance of considering the maintenance of the analytical project.

Thus, the Data & Analytics director at NTTData emphasized the importance of evaluating the specific needs of each analytical project and considering all relevant aspects before deciding whether to develop internally or hire a third party.
