| Here you are, a successful
business under you control and expanding to meet your customers’
needs. Your product is in demand and you rely on technology
to provide exactly what your customers want. Your product is
not one that you can mass-produce: it relies on flexibility
in its manufacture. No two orders are identical, even from the
same customer.
Now you have a problem.
The Order Entry system that you had to have specially built
for you is getting elderly and is no longer able to provide
all the flexibility that your current product demands. The original
supplier has submerged, so an upgrade is not an option and you
are being forced to consider where to get a new system. You
have also looked at the ready-made products and cannot find
a suitable option that has all you need.
You know you have to bite the bullet or your business will loose
out to the competition. And it must happen sooner rather than
later.
What is worrying you is that you are not conversant with all
the IT jargon. This will be a critical development for your
company and it is essential that the new system fully meets
you present and future needs. You are concerned that the developer
will provide something and that, after all the wait, it will
not perform correctly.
You need a friendly helping hand to guide you through the IT
procurement process and to ensure that the supplier does provide
you with what you and you business need. You need someone who
can understand the particular business challenges facing the
new system and can communicate them to your supplier.
In short, you need a translator.
Someone who is literate in business and IT; able to provide
the interface between your hard-pressed staff and the system
supplier; able to apply controls to the development process
so that the new system doesn’t cost a fortune.
Won’t that make biting the bullet that much easier?
Precision Design Technology Ltd. can provide all the interface
activities you need to take the strain off you so you can concentrate
on your business, while we concentrate on enabling you to have
a cost effective system for your business.
