Do you need to create an app for your business? Free eGuide
We've put together an 11-page eGuide covering all of the most important aspects of streamlining your business processes using apps and web tools — from replacing spreadsheets through to mobile apps, budget, risk and integration.
In summary
A free 11-page Scorchsoft eGuide on streamlining your business processes with apps and web tools: what the realistic options are, what each one costs you, and how to judge whether the investment pays back.
Key takeaways
- Internal applications, spreadsheets and online tools are an extension of your business processes, not a separate thing to buy.
- The guide walks the realistic options side by side: replacing spreadsheets with a database, cloud and web-based apps, and mobile apps.
- It covers the questions that decide the answer — where the budget goes, what the risks are, what the alternatives are, and whether staff will cope.
- Integration with your existing systems is treated as a first-class question, not an afterthought.
- Picking the wrong direction is expensive: outdated, sluggish or broken ways of working cost more than the software would have.
We've put together a compelling eGuide covering all of the most important aspects of implementing a web-based system in your business.
We appreciate that coming up with the right digital strategy is a daunting task, with many prevailing questions such as:
- Should you replace your spreadsheets with proper database processes?
- Should you look to adopt cloud-based software and web-based apps?
- Should you develop a mobile application to support your goals, and will it represent a good ROI?
- Where should your budget be allocated?
- What are the risks?
- What are the alternatives?
- Will staff be able to cope with any new systems or processes?
- Will new applications integrate with your existing systems?
If you have been involved in growing or running a successful business, whether it be yours or someone else's, then a big part of achieving this is to put in place effective and efficient processes. These may range from day to day activities, such as responding to phone calls, emails and web enquiries in a certain way, through to the actual act of building and delivering your products and services. The larger a business becomes the more it can rely on these processes, as they become increasingly unique to the business, the way it operates, and even the way it creates differentiation against its competitors.
Internal applications, spreadsheets and online tools are merely an extension of these business processes. We think it is essential for every business to pick the direction that is right for the business, or you risk wasting money by having outdated, sluggish, or even broken ways of working.
