Custom business software is an application built around the way your company works: one shared database, screens adapted to each role, and the history of every change. It replaces Excel files that have become critical.
Key points
- Excel is perfect for calculating and exploring; it becomes risky when several people enter essential data into it.
- Business software keeps one single version of the data, with history and per-person rights.
- Migration happens step by step, reusing your existing data.
Signs that Excel is no longer enough
- Several versions of the same file are going around
- Only one person knows how the file works
- Data entry errors go unnoticed
- The file gets slow or freezes
- The same data is retyped elsewhere
Files or software: what changes
With files, everyone works on their own copy. With business software, everyone works on the same database, each with the rights that match their role, and every change is tracked.
