"According to a of 2,000 IT and security decision-makers from Exclaimer, 71% of in-house IT builds fail to deliver on time or on budget, and are eventually abandoned. In heavily regulated industries like manufacturing and finance, that figure rises to 83%. Yet while nearly half of IT teams say they still prefer to build their own tools, only 8% of those projects are delivered on time and just 11% stay on budget."
""The data shows that while building in-house can feel like control, it often comes at the expense of time, security, and scalability," said Paul Hammond, chief product and technology officer at Exclaimer. "At Exclaimer, we've seen how easily operational burden creeps in when IT teams are forced to maintain tools that were never meant to scale. This research helps organizations see the full picture, that true efficiency isn't about owning every line of code, but freeing teams to focus on growth and innovation.""
DIY in-house IT builds frequently exceed time and budget estimates and are often abandoned. 71% of in-house IT builds fail to deliver on time or on budget, rising to 83% in highly regulated industries like manufacturing and finance. UK teams commonly build to meet compliance and data residency requirements, while US teams build primarily for legacy-system integrations. Only 8% of projects are delivered on time and 11% stay on budget; 46% cost nearly twice the original budget and most take 1.6–2× longer than planned. Teams spend 10–50 hours per month maintaining internal tools and incur $20,000–$100,000 extra annually, with 64% reporting security-related downtime and 31% citing compliance and data protection challenges.
