Databases and custom applications have become a mainstay in the high technology world that we live in today. Making applications work together and getting them to talk with each other is becoming more difficult.
More good money has been thrown into the tank after bad following a “surefire” application.The reasons are legion but two stand out. The application does not interface with other business-wide technology systems, or no one took into account business processes and culture that were already in place. This is where a technology partner pays off. As a single-source technology provider, the technology partner is the most informed source on current business-wide technology systems and future goals of the business. These two components are crucial for a successful application development now and into the future. An application development project managed by a technology partner is the best approach to avoid financial pitfalls. Success or failure depends on where you start.
Process Management
Managing the lifecycle of any application development process is crucial for a timely rollout of a product. The impulse to alter the application over time to capture an isolated benefit adds much to the financial bottomline in small imperceptible increments, if not well managed by a partner with the wherewithall to say “no” when appropriate. It is also vital to guard against mission creep that can take an application into unchartered territory, ending with an application that only loosely resembles the original venture. Once again, a technology partner is uniquely suited to this all-important oversight role.
