Bespoke Software Solution

When investing into a software solution one of the first decisions to make is whether to use an ‘off-the-shelf’ commercial package or to commission a ‘bespoke software solution’, a solution that is custom designed to fit your business needs.

When considering a bespoke software solution, the chances are investigations into commercial software alternatives have led to one or more of these situations:

• Commercial software is too elaborate for requirements.
• Off-the-shelf software has features that you need, but doesn’t work with other systems already in place.
• The software has some features you need, but maybe hard and very expensive to configure.
• The developer has plans to add new features that you might need right now, but your business cannot influence the speed with which those new features are implemented.

Commissioning bespoke software provides a solution tailored to your needs in a way that commercial packages can not compare.

The kōnect Difference

A bespoke software development relationship with kōnect will mean:

• Functionality built into the solution, arises from a thorough understanding of your business.
• User experience of the solution is a result of direct consultation with your end users.
• You control the pace of the development.
• The feature-set includes only the functionality you need right now and is designed to be expanded and enhanced as your business grows.
• You do not have to change the way your business operates in order to accommodate the constraints of the software.

Additionally, when you are running a bespoke software solution:

• Bespoke software comes with bespoke support – kōnect knows your system and how you use it and can respond to any questions quickly.
• No license fees – unless third party modules are included/licensed in the solution.
• The solution will not become obsolete, when requirements change for the business, commission additional functionality that works with the existing system.

When the solution is built to requirements, this will often save time and money when it comes to training staff. A solution developed according to specification will fit easily into existing business processes and should be intuitive to all end-user staff.
