You need a developer who knows your business
Hello all,
It is busy here at S-development. So busy, that I didn’t have time to write. So instead of a weekly blog, this look likes more a monthly one.
Today I want to discuss why it is important that your Intranet developer will know you business. We had a visit of one of our clients who came from Amsterdam. We developed for his company a complicated web based database that runs his business. This was a long process to understand what he needs and to learn his business.
Now he is very happy with it, and wants to add more options. But what he needs it is not a straight forward and it took us a long meeting to find the right solution that will handle the business process right. This thing an on - shell software can’t do. It can’t understand your business and your special needs.
For this specific client we saved lots of time by developing automatics tools that do in minute things that took him half a day to do before. Simple things to update a date to multiple jobs to complicated stuff like update dates to multiple jobs where some conditions are true. For us it is easy to develop. For him it saves time and money.
We have another client that wanted to copy all the entries of 2006 to 2007 so he will not need to re-insert it again just to modify it. Because we worked closely to him on this project (flu vaccinations) it was easy for us to implement this.
The bottom line is that a developer who knows your business may seem expensive, but for the long run it is cheaper and more efficient.
Hope it helps,
Assaf
