There is a study done by a market analyst (Wayne Eckerson) about Building vs Buying BI, he has some good insights based on surveys as to why some companies chose to build and some choose to buy

71% of those who chose to build the BI tools said they built because "We can customize the functionality better"

51% of those who buy say "Buying enables us to provide best-in-class BI functionality"
