in house development is the to get the BI developed.
A big company requires BI.
company should have its own computer department having some software developers.
in software development,the most difficult and important task is to understand the problem for which the software will be used.it means
what is to be done?
what are the requirements of the current system?
what are the key business process?

apart from all that there are few more aspects such as

development team should always be ready to handle the changing requirements.
development and testing should be performed concurrently.
in house development can have the support of users easily.
in house development provides easy and fast investigation to develop the BI.
in house development provides easy feasibility study.
in house development offers easy and fast maintenance of BI.
in house development offers testing of BI quickly.

Green principles
In house development reduces the resource consumption for communication between development team and users.
the services provided by the BI should be available only on demand by the authorized persons only.
there is no need to make available all the services all he time to all the employees.
it will reduce the electric power consumption.

Conclusion:-
Agile methodology should be applied to develop such BI systems, because this methodology provides rapid application development and save time, electric power, and other resources required to develop the BI.
in this modern era, if we ignore our echo system, then it would be very difficult to cope up with the situation in future due to pollution and lacking of natural resources.
