[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″]If your organisation is similar to most budding businesses, your current software is no longer enough to meet your increasing needs. Perhaps your outdated system no longer provides valuable information, can no longer support your changing business processes and has become difficult to maintain or is harassed by system failures. Perhaps you have added a new business process to your growing operations, and now you need a new software solution to support it. Whatever the case, you will be helped from incorporating custom software development into your business.
The Problem with Off-the-Shelf
The standard features of commercially available software packages are designed for the average needs and typical demands of most users. They do not address the idiosyncratic aspects of your organisation. How you communicate internally, what systems you use and the specific processes that keep your business running. Off-the-shelf software is not designed based on the unique way you do business. In most cases, it will charge you for features you don’t even use. It might not be compatible with the systems your company already has in place. It is not configurable to the degree that you need or is expensive to configure.
Advantages of Going Bespoke
Incorporating custom software development into your business gives you more control. For one, you can control the stages and the pace of development. You are not at the mercy of a commercial software developer; upgrades, no longer depend on the ‘next release,’ which may never even come.
And because the system functionalities arise from the developer’s meticulous understanding of your company’s unique requirements and processes, the custom software is more efficient and effective. The feature set incorporates the functionalities you often use and can be designed to expand according to how you expect your operations to expand.
By incorporating custom software development into your business, you get a bespoke solution that adapts to how you operate. Bespoke software solutions cost less in the long run as it enables your workforce to do their work faster.[/vc_column][/vc_row]
