in-house
Done by staff
In-house means within an organization rather than outsourced to external parties.
A company might have an in-house legal team instead of hiring outside counsel, or handle marketing in-house rather than contracting an agency.
The term emphasizes internal resources and direct organizational control: We built the software in-house.
