What are your ‘core’ systems?

Last week, a colleague of mine was told by a senior IT member at one of our major clients (an international company) that our bespoke software was used by more users that their ‘core’ SAP system; when asked which of the two systems were of the most value, he would not say!

Bespoke software applications fall into several categories, in this case, the package in question is a KPI (key performance indicator) setting and monitoring tool which takes input from amongst others, SAP. It’s use is scaleable across the organisation from team leaders managing small groups right up to board members looking at the ‘bigger picture’

So what is your ‘core system’? – not a series of Excel spreadsheets I hope!

General manager or bespoke software

So your business is growing and you are making a healthy profit. Thats the good news, the problem is that you cannot keep track of everything like you used to do; things are slipping and the bottom line is suffering.

What you need is a general manager – you will need to teach him your ways, it will take months, but will be worth it in the end.

Wait, there may be another way. By adopting some purpose written, bespoke software you could effectively spread your rules, procedures, business logic and working methods throughout your company even when it expands to be several times it’s current size.

Grow your business with bespoke software

Many businesses grow in during the early years when the owner(s) can personally manage every detail, but as the volume of business continues to grow, there comes a time when no matter how many hours one works it becomes impossible to maintain the ‘grip’ on the business processes as it once was. In these cases, the process that was once strong and refined becomes weaker, with other staff members making day to day decisions that were once the sole domain of the owner.

Bespoke software can help in many ways; By building the software to respect the processes developed by the owner, the software can manage the process without direct day to day input from the owner. Information, important in maintaining the business can be presented in the form best suited to the owner to allow them to ‘keep an eye on things’ and the inevitable errors that occur as more people get involved are significantly reduced as the bespoke software has validation checks built in.
