 How to choose "your" Enterprise solutions and not overpay

Before introducing any innovation, I recommend paying attention to:

In small companies, business processes often go through some formative stage. Ready-made solutions can help them with this by setting a specific framework. You need to keep records like this, manage resources like this, issue invoices to clients according to such and such a principle. Startups will benefit from ready-made Enterprise programs. Large companies have already built the business logic, so the need for custom solutions is much higher.

How the system fits the current and planned business processes

Companies can be compared to people: they all seem to be arranged in the same way, but each with its own characteristics. Despite the general similarity, the processes of many companies are different, and they need to be processed individually. Ready-made solutions will suit some tasks, but they will not be integrated into others. Then you need to create your application.

How convenient is the app

Sometimes Enterprise-systems are developed for several years. At the time of entry into the market, a UX solution can be outdated or cumbersome - with a large amount of data. In some cases, the interface is designed for desktop. And your users, say, spend more time on the run, and it is already inconvenient for them to use it from a mobile device. To evaluate the usability of the new system, request a product demo.

Enterprise solutions market

An enterprise project is software that an organization uses to achieve internal goals and solve corporate problems. Business process automation helps to improve work efficiency and provides functional support for business logic.

Types of corporate by:

• CRM (Customer Relationship Management) - an application that knows everything about customers;
• EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) - management of the maintenance of the organization's physical assets;
• BPM (Business process management) - visualization and automation of processes;
• ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) - tracking business resources, planning budgets, volumes of raw materials and production capacity, managing the status of business obligations to customers;

• BI (Business intelligence) - data analytics, statistics, reports, insights.

Despite the extensive selection, a huge market share remains in the "Other" category. For various reasons, ready-made solutions are not suitable for some companies at all, and for others they only partially satisfy the needs. Everyone is looking towards Enterprise trends.
