j_weller_nv invites the community to a session on making strategic decisions for AI app and agent adoption, highlighting how Microsoft Marketplace can accelerate deployment and maintain governance for organizations embracing AI.

Chart Your AI App and Agent Strategy with Microsoft Marketplace

Organizations exploring AI apps and agents face the fundamental challenge of whether to build, buy, or blend their solutions. There is no universal answer—each method comes with specific advantages and trade-offs:

Build: Full customization and control, but requires significant time and resources.
Buy: Fast adoption and proven reliability, but may involve trade-offs in flexibility.
Blend: Combination of custom and off-the-shelf solutions to balance agility and control.

Microsoft Marketplace: Accelerating AI Adoption

Microsoft Marketplace simplifies the process by acting as a trusted source for AI apps, agents, and models. Key benefits include:

Centralized Catalog: Access thousands of AI solutions vetted by Microsoft.
Time Savings: Reduce procurement cycles, rapidly evaluate options, and onboard solutions faster.
Governance & Cost Control: Marketplace features are designed to help maintain organizational standards and manage expenses.
