Finding The Right Software Solution

Finding the Right Software Solution
Finding the Right Software Solution

When it’s time to make a choice about software for a particular business task, the first thing that becomes apparent is that there are a wide range of choices available. We’re living in an age of evolution – every time you look, there’s a new way to do something. As a result, business owners are constantly being confronted by confounding decisions and possibilities. How is it possible to make the best choice about the software you include in your business?

We help our clients by working together with them to evaluate software for their purposes. A recent example of this is the work we did on the Better Together Housing project, which included vetting over 15 solutions before we landed on the right one for the job. Here are some of the important principles to bear in mind when evaluating software for your business. If you’d like some help with the process, please contact our team:

Common Software Evaluation Considerations

Budgetary Considerations

To be realistic, you need to ensure you’re working with solutions that are within your price range. You also need to ensure your price range has been properly appreciated. After all, if software is going to become the backbone of your business, it won’t pay to cut corners on cost.

SEO & Online Promotion

Wrasse Industries uses an integrated approach, so we’re interested in how things work together. With anything regarding website design, we’re interested in the SEO implications – a primary consideration is always being found online, as it’s important to utilise solutions that are in sync with your overall online marketing strategy.

Expertise

If specific skills are involved, training may be another time-related consideration to take into account, in the event you have staff managing a system. If one person is responsible and they leave the organisation, a gap may be created in your ability to deliver. All of this needs to be incorporated into planning.

ICT Integrations

It’s useful to proactively keep an eye on the relationships that exist between your existing ICT (Information Communication Technology) and new inclusions. This knowledge can be helpful in making decisions going forwards. This is particularly relevant with website-related functionality improvements.

Ability To Migrate

The ease with which information can be migrated is important. If you need to switch to a new system, the process may be formidable if you’re dealing with large volumes of records. Check to see if prospective methods enable the export of your information.

Audience Considerations

If you’re communicating with people, especially in marketing, the medium used by the audience is the best medium to use, regardless of your personal preference. This principle can be applied to different types of audiences too. Even when the old way was ‘better’, its not valid if nobody is receiving.

Support & Customer Service

How’s the support setup for your prospective integration? While it is cost-effective to push support into FAQ and automatic responses, it’s not genuinely helpful, especially in the middle of a crisis (you can bet that it will be in the middle of a crisis). Check it out before coming onboard. It may be the best investigation you do.

Peer Feedback

Check reviews and feedback. While feedback needs to be taken with a grain of salt (it isn’t always authentic) you can often get an idea of the vibe of a produce or company in this way.

Dependancy & The Cutting Edge

The more your business depends on a system, the more thoroughly you need to be able to trust the solution. Cutting edge options shouldn’t be discarded because they’re not proven, and be assured that newcomers to the industry will be evaluating them. However, like any inclusion, a diligent approach is required.

In Conclusion

For any business, it’s imperative to be forward-thinking. How things are done now (2021) will not be comparable to how they’re done in 2029. 2029 may look a little mysterious at the moment – everything is going to be different, but how? As we make choices about what to include in our businesses, we’re always weighing things up, trying to get it right. At the end of the day, there is little point in innovating just for the sake of it. The simplest way that gets the job done is always the best way.

Finding The Right Software Solution

Client Review:

Building a website and developing an online presence can be a daunting task unless you have the right developer assisting with the project. A good developer will possess a variety of skills, both technical and non-technical, like patience. I found Huw Humphreys of Blue Wrasse to have an abundance of both. Huw went above and beyond the original brief, spending as long as was necessary to get it right for me including the “look and feel” of the site and the design of my logo. Huw was always mindful of my budget but never allowed that to interfere with creativity. On numerous occasions Huw and I collaborated online where he was able to demonstrate alternative ideas and suggestions to me. I would certainly recommend you contact Huw Humphreys to discuss your project.

Wrasse Industries were given a brief to produce a promotional video for our Parish. Huw Humphreys has done a fantastic job of putting together our story, blending video footage with still photographs and voiceovers that, when assembled, paint a picture of the culture and personality of our community. We are more than pleased with the result, and very grateful for the patient and professional manner in which this task was approached and completed. Thank you Huw.

I can’t recommend The Blue Wrasse highly enough. Huw was incredibly knowledgable and helpful in assisting me with my wordpress website design. There was a particular time I was stumped on an issue for over 12 hours. Within 30 minutes of Huw having a look at it, the issue was resolved. This was a huge relief as it was within 24 hours of me launching the site. I would have been lost without him and I will definitely use be consulting the services of The Blue Wrasse again.

Working with Huw at Wrasse Industries has been a pleasure. Huw provides full outsourced marketing support for our business, and has lead the process of re-branding, and delivered an end result that we proud of. Web, SEO, print, graphics, motor vehicles, brand, social, data base and email, Huw has it covered. I would have no hesitation in recommending Huw to anyone needing assistance with their marketing operations.

Huw Humphreys has the technical and artistic expertise to design excellent websites. He transformed my old website into a new, exciting and vibrant one for which I have had many compliments. He has good suggestions and shows initiative but he is also willing to listen to clients’ needs and work with those. My business has picked up since Huw updated my site.

Huw from Wrasse Industries is committed, flexible, knowledgeable, very reasonably priced and an all-round pleasure to work with. We came to him with a big challenge and he worked tirelessly to find the right solution for us and our member-based online platform. No question is too silly, or ask too small. An all round professional I would highly recommend Huw for any online platform needs. Five stars *****

Huw is a pleasure to work with. He is highly responsive, flexible, and completes projects ahead of schedule. He takes pride in his work and collaborates with his clients to ensure quality. I recommend him without hesitation.

The Blue Wrasse recently designed us a phenomenal website featuring thousands of images and easily accessible information. The phone and emails have started buzzing with enquiries, and clients are finding us easily on the web! Huw is thorough, professional and has a fabulous eye for design. Excellent service!

Huw has been a valuable member of our team. Responsible and creative, he understands the big picture and efficiently creates solutions for the strategic delivery of content. His technical ability is high and up to date, and his proactivity is a valuable asset to any project.

I was having email problems and Huw fixed them very quickly and efficiently. Thank you so much Huw.
