Tactical benefits are ones which improve the day-to-day running of an organisation or group in measurable terms.
Customers almost always anticipate or require that new software and systems deliver cost benefits. In some cases software replaces an existing automated system, but the new software has cheaper hardware and lower maintenance overheads.
For instance, where a single, centralised computer system is replaced by a network of smaller PCs. Or the software system replaces a manual system and so savings may be made on paper, paper storage space like filing cabinets, and office space.
There may be an improvement in communications resulting in fewer telephone calls and faxes. In both cases there may well be a saving on the number of staff required to support the old system.
Another frequently cited benefits of software systems are their speed and accuracy. Information can be retrieved more quickly and with greater confidence in its accuracy. This can improve the productivity of employees. It may also improve the movement of goods and the supply of goods to customers. This could result in an organisation being able to handle more transactions and expand its business.
Strategic benefits are about improving the nature or abilities of a group or organisation. With a new software system, a business may be able to offer their customers new services. Or by examining the information held, could new customers or products could be identified.
More speculatively, enhanced functionality might allow managers to quickly identify trends in sales or spending. This could lead to a competitive advantage in the market place.
With the introduction of expert systems, knowledge previously confined to a handful of individuals can be distributed and made available throughout a company. This could improve the functioning and performance of a company in many ways.
Understand it: Know what you want to build and why.
Build it: Design and develop working software.
Test it: Give it to users to try and gather feedback.
Evolve it: Use that feedback to make it better.
Finally: Finish Projects on Time and Budget.
The same steps go for picking the development process that’s right for you. Start by understanding the steps of the SDLC, then pick the process that feels right for you and your team, try it out, and gather feedback from your team. And remember, it’s a lifecycle. If you don’t get it right the first time around, understand why it didn’t work then pick a different process and start over.
Businesses change over time and so do their software needs. If your current software is out-of-date or holding your business back, upgrading can help you gain productivity and drive value from your initial investment.
Choosing the right software for your business can help you:
cut costs by automating routine tasks
improve the efficiency of staff
increase or measure office productivity
streamline business operations and accounts
replace paper processes
communicate more effectively with customers, suppliers or partners
Intelligent workflow software enables successful finance applications
It's not always easy to determine if your current software needs replacing.
You may benefit from a change if, for example, your existing software:
Is frequently running slow
Is prone to bugs
Fails often
Is unable to cope with the number of users
Struggles with the volume of transactions
Isn't integrated with other systems you are using
Can't provide the level of reporting you need
Doesn't meet the latest regulatory requirements
Doesn't meet your changing business needs
Upgrading or switching to new software can be a big step for many businesses. Before committing to a change, make sure that you have a clear business case for it and that the benefits will outweigh the risks.
