Activus Technologies Corporation

 

Software That Fits

We provide our clients with innovative, rock-solid technology solutions that help them achieve their business objectives and see a real return on their investment.

Unlike vendor-centric resellers, we don't just sell proprietary packaged software in the hopes of fulfilling perhaps some of the business requirements (and then disappearing as soon as the check clears). Instead, we focus on providing a real return on our clients' technology investments. How? By first and foremost understanding how the software makes their business stronger (i.e., increase profit) and how the role it plays in furthering their business goals.

When is it appropriate to build a custom solution?

Surprisingly, it has little to do with number of employees or revenue figures. It's actually far more dependent on your business model and the internal processes that generate the product or service you provide.

It can be said that a business model is the summation of all of its internal processes (including accounting procedures). A custom software solution will be a tremendous business advantange and entirely appropriate when any of the following conditions apply:

• Your business model contains several "moving parts". Perhaps some processes are carried out in parallel or have mutual interdependencies, adding to the level of complexity.
• Your business model is not necessary complex, but (some of) the processes need to be tracked carefully, for example to ensure compliance with federal or state mandates or simply to maintain a high standard of service.
• Your business model contains a significant level of interaction with or reliance on third party resources such as suppliers, partners, subcontractors and even customers.

Why a custom solution?

By way of analogy...

When a man wants to look his best, he wears a suit. He can go into just about any department store or men's clothier, and if he happens to have a so-called "textbook" build, he can buy a suit off the rack.

For the rest of us, to look our best means the suit needs some serious tailoring. Want the best-of-the-best? Have a master tailor take your measurements and make you a custom suit — then it fits just right.

It's the same with off-the-shelf software. That's fine for the masses. But what if your business doesn't quite fit "the mold"? Why bend your business model to fit the software? Instead, have a technology architect fit the software to your business. Call Activus today, and we'll tailor a solution that fits.
