Packaged Implementation
Identify and implement packaged solutionsthat are the right fit for your organizational needs
Choosing between custom solutions or packaged software requires research and time. In today’s agile environments, it is important for companies to understand the advantages of SaaS solutions. Most organizations will have to choose between custom developed applications or existing packaged software.
GoDgtl understands that a one-size-fits-all solution does not work. Our subject matter experts can guide companies to a solution that maximizes the benefits to their business while minimizing disruption.
Take the right approach
Buy vs. Build
This is the most common question companies face when choosing software solutions for core business functions. When companies need to replace existing software applications or implement a new system, it is often too expensive to build custom software solution. There is not a one-size fits all approach.
A more flexible and cost-effective approach is for companies to replace custom solutions with configurable software packages created by large software vendors such as Microsoft and Salesforce. These vendors have spent time and money ensuring their product offerings include world class features for automating common processes such as human resources and sales. Using software solutions from these large vendors has the benefit of streamlining business operations and taking advantage of features used by others in the industry.
GoDgtl can help companies identify and implement packaged solutions that best meet their needs.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both custom and packaged software. For example, companies building a custom solution may have a large up-front cost and long lead time but may gain more long-term value through closer alignment with the business needs. On the other hand, companies using an existing packaged solution – while less flexible – may benefit because it gives the organization a shorter time-to-market and lower initial cost.
GoDgtl can help organizations navigate these choices and make decisions based on a sound business cases.
Know the integration process
Companies often find that integrating packaged solutions into their environments is less daunting than full-scale custom development. It helps for these companies to rely on the expertise of the software vendor’s consultants.
Customized packaged software
Companies find that the benefits of customizing packaged software to meet their requirements outweigh the concerns of integrating the software with their existing systems. In addition, packaged software is often easier for companies to scale as the business grows.
For software provided by major vendors, smaller companies can benefit from the many available seasoned subject matter experts by leveraging them to build and maintain their software products. GoDgtl can benefit companies by utilizing the economy of scale with packaged software solutions that are cost efficient and provide an array of options to meet their needs.
System integration
System integration is the process of connecting disparate systems that manage various business processes and workflows, so that businesses can function more efficiently. This includes internal systems such as HR and finance, and external systems such as supplier applications.
When choosing a packaged software, it is imperative to examine the software’s capability to integrate with your systems, and the methods by which these integrations can be accomplished. Choosing the right product reduces integration cost and brings about the sought efficiency. GoDgtl is well versed in integrating packaged solutions and accurately assessing the right fit for your organizational needs.
