Application Selection
SaaS
The number of different applications that you can choose for the various areas of your business has exploded over recent years.
At the same time, with the adoption of the SaaS model of software delivery, the costs of the software have shifted from being large, upfront implementations, into smaller, ongoing operational expenses.
There are a variety of reasons you may be looking to implement a new application:
- You are looking to digitise a manual process.
- You have outgrown the features of an existing application.
- You are looking to see if you can consolidate some applications.
- You don’t have a good understanding of how many applications there are in your business, and how they fit together.
Envisage has a framework that has been refined over years of supporting clients to choose the right tools for their business. We can ensure that you:
- Understand the problem you are trying to solve.
- Have a clear picture of the process and strategy you want your applications to support.
- Know which elements of the process you are willing to adjust to meet an application limitation.
- Get beyond the marketing features to understand the workflows in operation.
Whilst the SaaS model has dropped the headline cost of applications, once you add up training, implementation, and migration costs, there is still a significant implication to making the wrong decision, as well as the chance of being locked into a tool that doesn’t meet your long-term needs.
