Why a Unified and Modernized Platform is Important for Your Business and How We Can Help
Frankenstein systems are not fun.
They often rise from the depths of legacy systems that have been built on too many times. Sometimes they can exist in young systems too. These systems are usually poorly designed, often times with little forethought about future implications and levels of long term technical debt.
Architecturally, the platform is akin to an unstable bridge that could fall apart at any moment and without warning. All you need is a little pressure and more load than usual to send the pieces flying.
The result of this often comes in the form of your business being temporarily down until your engineers can sticky-tape the rubble back together again. Your processes can come to a screeching halt, leading to the loss of sales, reduced customer experience and workers who are unable to properly perform their job.
Why You Need to Upgrade and Modernize Your Platform
Imagine the world speeding along with the ability to pivot their business against consumer demand with a snap of a finger.
You may try to do the same but you can’t. Why? Because you’re trying to turn an old car that’s done its mileage into an electric vehicle. It might work - but it comes with an unnecessarily high price.
Upgrading isn’t all about getting something new and shiny. Rather, it’s about having the ability to adapt and give your business the efficiency it needs. It’s more than just changing the oil, tires and windscreen wipers. It’s about getting a system that actually works and does what you need it to do.
What it Can do for Your Business
Imagine if you could shave off a few minutes of waiting time in between clicks and tasks. It may not seem like a lot until you realize how much time disappears in between tasks.
Seconds and minutes add up - especially when you’re paying for your employees by the hour. Inefficiencies can also cause delays and cost your supply chains.
An effective platform is one that is cohesive, with each part fitting neatly into the other. Flow is maximized, optimized and automated - leaving your employees with more time to do the things they need to do.
A platform is like a tool and if the tool itself is blunt and slow, it can negatively impact how your business is able to perform and compete based on speed, responsiveness, and experience.
Unifying and modernizing your platform can give you back ownership of these metrics, allowing you to properly compete with your product and services.
How We Can Help
An ineffective system can hold your business back.
As a software development company, we’re in the business of helping businesses get systems and platform development projects right. We specialize in finding the right people and are able to provide the equivalent of a system’s floor plan, the engineers and builders needed to help deliver your project.
This is because there’s more to it than just hiring developers. Building a robust platform is like building a house - you wouldn’t do it with just the builders. You need architects and engineers as well. You need people to survey your system in its current state. You need someone that is able to understand what you have and where you want to go.
You need someone that has the ability to connect the right dots in the right places. And that’s what we do. We look at businesses with an engineering perspective, taking and translating your wants and needs into a platform that works.
Our borderless approach also means that we are able to widen our talent pool and provide businesses with top-notch, vetted and tested developers. It means that we personally know the quality of the people we put on your project.
We do more than just manage and outsource. We survey, we engineer, we build and we deliver - on budget and on time.
