Increased Flexibility and Control
Creating an application from scratch allows you to control the functionality and work-flow that makes the most sense for your specific business operations. You’ll never get the same amount of flexibility and control over work-flow when you purchase an “off the shelf” program that was created based on assumptions of what would work best for your organization. Custom applications are created based on your specifications of what actually works best for your current processes and procedures. In addition, it allows for easier integration of process updates should your organization change in the future.
Improved Ability to Manage Your Entire Business
Custom developed software can often allow for better integration with the rest of your business systems. As most businesses often use multiple programs for various departments and functions, it’s important that accurate data be available to all required users. By creating a custom solution, it’s easier to create a seamless transition of data from program to program, thus creating more efficiencies and better data integrity throughout your entire organization.
Improved Employee Productivity and Improved Customer Service
By providing your employees with a solution that is designed to fit your organization’s specific work-flow and processes, they are able to focus on being more productive in their work without the redundancy or extra steps which can often be created by using an “off the shelf program”. By providing your organization with the tools to be more efficient and armed with an better access to accurate information, you’re providing your employees an improved ability to better serve your customers quickly.
