— The Challenge
Building In-House Is Slow, Expensive, and Risky
Enterprise software development demands specialists across multiple disciplines. Hiring them individually in New York City costs upward of $1.35M per year in salaries alone — before benefits, infrastructure, and licensing.
12–24 Month Build-Out
Internal teams typically need 1–2 years to stand up a custom analytics portal from scratch.
$1.35M+ Annual Cost
A CIO, database architect, cloud specialist, developers, BI analysts, plus licensing and infrastructure — excluding LOAD rates.
Communication Breakdown
Traditional teams play telephone — account exec to PM to developer. SEAD's business-trained developers hear your goals firsthand.
