WHEN TO BRING US IN
Your process does not fit the available tools.
Spreadsheets and generic software can take a business a long way. When staff spend more time working around the tools than doing the work, a purpose-built application may help.
- An internal workflow needs a shared application
- Customers or vendors need a portal into part of your process
- Staff need reports that bring business information together
- A new tool must connect to existing applications and databases
HOW WE WORK
Build from a clear business need.
The goal is a useful application with a scope your team can understand and evaluate.
02
Define a useful first scope
Agree on the core functions and review how users will move through their everyday tasks.
03
Build and refine
Develop the application, check it against realistic workflows, and plan deployment and future support.
BEFORE WE TALK
A few useful answers.
Do we need a finished specification?
No. A description of the business problem and a few examples of the current workflow provide a useful starting point. Detailed requirements can be developed as the scope becomes clearer.
Can a new application work with our existing database?
We can assess the available database and access methods. Data structure, permissions, and the needs of existing applications determine the integration approach.
Let’s start with the work you need to do.
