Tailor Made Softwares: Why You Need It?

There is no denying that technology and innovation are the key buzz words of the current century. It might seem a bit early to claim it so, but such is the current state of affairs. Almost every aspect of our lives is already oriented around technology, so why should law, business or administration be any different? In today’s day and age, all our processes seem to be driven by softwares. They are critically important tools that determine the productivity and growth of businesses and enable them to perform functions that otherwise might seem impossible. The question is: ‘What kind of software?’

When it comes to acquiring software, organisations are now expected to make difficult choices. Should they meet their immediate needs and simply buy an ‘off-the-shelf’ software that is aggressively marketed to them in social media and YouTube pages; or should they opt for the unique answer and try and build something new?

The answer of course depends solely on the business’s need and differs from instance to instance; but by and large there is a general consensus over the fact that custom tech can unlock hidden potentials. There are multiple aspects to consider before taking the first steps and the process can seem complicated. So, here’s a brief rundown on the advantages and disadvantages of Tailor made Software Solutions.

The Value of Tailor made Softwares

Today, organisations have recognised an urgent need to find the perfect system that meets their unique set of requirements without compromising on efficiency. Custom built solutions allow them the flexibility to crop out unnecessary functionalities and further enhance the ones that address their needs. Custom software allows them to experience easy management and support, quick reporting and quicker turnarounds. They provide the necessary bandwidth to understand the complexities of processes better to anticipate issues and mitigate them. With custom tech, businesses can build upon loyal customer bases, increase revenue, and gain the competitive edge. They can boost profitability with easy updates catering to specific needs and drive-up revenue. Ultimately, what might seem expensive upfront, might save significant money in the long run and add value to services rendered.

The Downside of Tailor made Softwares

As experts in customisation, at BIGFORMULA, we meet our fair share of clients who seem on the fence about Tailor made solutions – and with good reason. Their initial costs of course might seem higher than store-bought modules. But then again, add up the support and update costs that are included in custom-tech, and you would see the big picture where you can actually save money through customisation. Timing and scheduling is another drawback of Tailor made Solutions. A conventional store-bought software product can be put to use immediately. Whereas it can take weeks or even months before you have a working version should you choose the custom route. The delay might interfere with operations and other top objectives. However, proper planning and expert advice on the matter (like the ones we usually give our clients) can help businesses navigate this inconvenience with ease.
