In the process of enterprise digital construction, there are always this or that problems, the most difficult of which is the system selection, the selection of mistakes is like "making friends carelessly", the light is constantly ripping, the heavy project is unfinished, but every time the construction of digital projects is faced with many systems, enterprises are also picky, sometimes they will make it difficult to choose, and confidently think that they have chosen the most suitable software, but the reality is that in the process of implementation and application, there are all kinds of ups and downs, or there is a sense of slapping the face, is the software wrong?Or is the business wrong?Even if you have considerable experience, you will inevitably encounter the embarrassing situation of unfinished implementation, so enterprises should fully understand the nature and characteristics of application software from top to bottom to minimize the implementation risk.
Today we will talk about each software system.
From the perspective of enterprise practical application, the software can be divided into standard version, customized development version, self-developed development version, and low-quality platform, so what are the advantages between the four?The difference is in **?Which edition has more advantages for enterprise applications?
This is the first choice for the construction of most enterprise digital projects, standard software is a standardized function, enterprises can use it, and it is divided into local deployment and SaaS version from the deployment methodFor small and medium-sized enterprises, lack of funds and no technical capabilities, SaaS version of the software has become the first choice, the system is ready to use out of the box, and there is no need to buy servers, no deployment, no professional maintenance, but the data is stored in the software company server, if you stop cooperating with the software company, then the enterprise will not be able to apply the system, can not obtain the data, even if the software company provides data backup, but the data is scattered and worthless for the enterprise.
The standard version of the software in the enterprise application function is solidified, so there will be a feeling of not adapting to the first use, this adaptation period is often the first dangerous period of software application, at least 20% of enterprises at this stage of the new system full of complaints, can not improve and eventually abandoned;Therefore, the software company provides secondary development services for this purpose, that is, according to the requirements of the enterprise to carry out personalized function development of the existing standardized software to meet the relevant application requirements of the enterprise, but in addition to the additional costs, it may also lead to the deterioration of the stability of the standard software, and at the same time, due to the unclear needs of the enterprise, the unplanned random development, resulting in the fragmentation of the software function being modified, which has an impact on the later upgrade and data access. For SaaS software, due to its special technical architecture, it is difficult for software companies to provide personalized development services for enterprises, and can only rely on the software company's function iteration to achieve it.
The biggest feature of the standard version of the system is that the function is standardized and can be quickly applied, but due to the fact that the function solidification has many requirements for personalized scenarios, there will be a risk of unfinished implementation, which can be solved by secondary development, but it will increase additional costs.
Due to the solidification function of the standard version of the system, it is difficult to meet the individual needs of enterprises, or there is no system with industry characteristics on the market, at this time, enterprises need to find a software company for customized development.
The biggest advantage of system customized development is that if you tailor it, you can develop what functions you need, so as to reduce the redundancy and waste of the standard version of the system, but the risk point is that the enterprise must have clear needs, and cannot change the order overnight, and the demand is fragmented, so the consequence is that the system is constantly overturned and modified, and it can never be applied onlineAt the same time, enterprises should pay attention to the fact that when delivering products, the software company must provide the source code.
It is basically the same as the custom development version, but the difference is that the development subject is different, the customized version is completed by a third-party software company, and the self-developed version is responsible for the company's own software development teamWe can also think of the custom development version as the self-developed version.
The advantage of setting up a development team by the enterprise itself lies in the timeliness of communication, the timeliness of modification, and the familiarity with the business, and at the same time, it will not be technically controlled by others, but there will also be the following problems:
First, the manpower and management costs of enterprises will increase
Second, the replacement of technical personnel will affect the construction progress and quality of the system
Third, due to the lack of cost consciousness within the enterprise, the demand for self-developed projects is repeated, and the time cost increases indefinitely
Low**or none** is a popular technical tool in the past two years, and the manufacturer's propaganda to the enterprise is claimed to realize the construction of the business system without ** development, and the operation is very simple to achieve by dragging and dropping;In addition to having a certain technical foundation, there is no platform-based planning ability, and there is no clear business demand, which is also difficult to realize the rapid construction of business systems.
It should be noted that low is not really unnecessary, and some personalized technical implementations still need to be developed, so low is suitable for enterprises to have a simpler model for business scenarios, and for complex business logic calculations and personalized function implementation, developers are still needed to implement the technology, and full-time personnel are also needed to maintain it.
To sum up, Lao Yang believes that in the process of enterprise digital transformation construction, there is no absolute who is better, who is more advantageous, and who is better between the standard version, the customized development version, the self-developed development version, and the low-level platform. A product that is easy to use and can bring value to the enterprise is a good digital product. At the same time, enterprises should also be aware that in addition to software products, the needs of enterprises themselves are very important that affect the process of digital construction, and unclear and repeated needs are the biggest obstacles affecting software implementation and the biggest factor related to digital costsTherefore, in the process of system construction, the information center should grasp the following "three noes" principles:
If the demand is not clear, do not do it;
The demand is repeated and not done;
If the demand is uncertain, do not do it;
What you need to understand is that digital construction is fast when it is slow!
