Why even use an IT system?
Why did we replace making fire and lighting candles with the simple flick of a switch?? The candles did provide sufficient light to enable us to do our evening chores but the time and effort spent making fires and lighting candles were probably not the best use of our time.
Businesses who do not properly organize their information seldom become successful. When a business works with no systems, the effort required to extract information from manual workings and rebuild that into knowledge is most daunting. Furthermore, the information produced is questionable in terms of completeness and accuracy.
Efficient IT Systems can enable a business to monitor information immediately, allowing it to react quickly and increasing its flexibility. IT system can also improve the internal operations of the business, lowering costs and making better decisions.
However, the implementation of a system will not guarantee the success of the business and many system implementations have destroyed businesses. These system implementations failed due to causes such as:
- System is inadequate for the business needs
- System implementation driven from technical view
- Consultants focused on industry best practice and not actual business needs
- Inadequate management of consultants
Vendors will typically sell you a product and assure you that they can customise their product to your needs. These customisations can be expensive and vendors can not always deliver what they promise.
We are vendor independant and will 1st understand your business needs before we start assessing the suitability of any vendor system.
A business can achieve considerable benefit from implementing an IT system as long as the potential risk and downfalls are understood and carefully managed.
