Is the tail wagging the dog when it comes to off-the-shelf software?

In shoehorning business processes into software packages, organisations often have to change elements of their practice to suit the software rather than their bottom line. This is still common and unnecessary within the corporate and SME communities. Although it is often easier to receive a quote for packaged software, many enterprises struggle to establish its total cost of ownership (TCO) and return on investment (ROI).

Lightsout creates bespoke software enabling customers to:

• permanently reduce running costs
• differentiate themselves by offering additional value to their customers
• increase annual output
• reduce human error
• win user acceptance
• have a thorough system designed to match their operational proceedures.

The software can be designed to interface with the other technologies within your IT infrastructure, so there is no need to ever be at the mercy of a single or small collection of vendors. Lightsout applications scale with your organisation, allowing easy integration of new modules. All coding is extremely well structured and thoroughly documented so other programmers could easily maintain it.

Delivering value that travels through your customers' supply chains helps keep your organisation and ours ahead of the competition. By our nature, we develop long-term, mutually beneficial, symbiotic relationships with our employees, clients and business alliances.
