Applications experts in business management

“The quality of a product or service is directly linked to the quality assurance process used to create it or run it.” (Juran, 1989)

Over time companies have absorbed this statement, and combining it with the technological advancement, they have gone to the automation of its processes.

The ideal time is when the automation activities of a process become repetitive. The activities are well defined for each process, and this is how the use of software should bring benefits to the business (and not cause problems).

Using software, the entrepreneur gathers data about the day to day of your business and analyze and act on business processes. It is through small decisions based on the data collected that the entrepreneur manage the quality of their products and services.

Sometimes the management application automates a process in advanced stages, which has passed the stage at which it is run in the company. This occurs because the software has been specializing in the experience of other companies that market. At other times, the application may not yet be prepared to automate a certain process.

In this case, it is necessary to study what is more worthwhile : reset process, or adapt the software so that it can manage the evolution of that set of activities. This decision is extremely complex.

At certain times, it is interesting even consider using an alternative software for automating those processes not fully addressed by the software deployment. The tip is that a company seeks to use specialist software to automate your business.

Including not only the internal management processes companies use different applications. Many companies that have expanded their marketing to the Internet (E- Commerce), and even those that have automated their sales activities through mobile apps, enter the group of companies that use multiple software for managing and executing their processes.

In this group, we can also include those companies that need to communicate with stakeholders beyond its internal environment. Those that do, in their processes, sending and receiving invoices with other companies, control of accounts receivable and payable, including bank control with extracts, sending documents for accounting, tracking and reporting on delivery of products and so on. All these activities and exchange of information can now be automated too!

The advantage to using multiple applications specialists for management is that the area of ​​operation of each software is contemplated in better shape than it was made by a generalist software. The disadvantage relates to the complexity of managing a portfolio of applications and consolidation of the information from these software.

However, it is now possible for small and medium enterprises, using an application that does the means of communication and exchange of data between different applications, transferring data from one software to another, bi-directional, and even filling databases that consolidate the information these software and applications that are used by BI (Business Intelligence).

Anyway, when it’s time to automate processes, it is necessary to find what best suits your business. And above all we must always think of the long term goals of every business, aligning expectations with every software, forecast growth and scalability.
