It is often considered and discussed whether an out-of-the-box (standard) or a custom software solution is the right one. The former is characterized by immediate availability and starting possibility (plug & play), the latter by the fact that it can be developed tailor-made according to the individual needs and requirements. The questions that arise are: Does this have to be an either-or decision? \u2013 Must out-of-the-box solutions really forego individual, customer-specific adaptability? [Small spoiler beforehand: No, it doesn’t.] This ultimately leads us to answer the question of why companies rely on freely configurable and scalable no-code software frameworks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Let’s start with scaling<\/strong>. In simple terms, scaling means nothing more than a change in size. While, for example, photos and font sizes can be scaled, in the economy companies scale their business model. In this case, the change in size almost always means growth. If a company’s business model is scalable, it has growth potential, can meet increasing demand, expand and conquer a larger market. This growth is usually accompanied by a change in the organization.<\/p>\n

Scaling is not an empty phrase or an end in itself, but serves to create ever greater benefits\/ROI. If companies constantly create new solutions, but neither standardize nor digitize their processes, only one thing will grow initially: complexity. The scaling effect lies above all in not losing the focus, in repeatedly running processes that bring success in the same way and then automating them. <\/strong><\/p>\n

At first glance and up to a certain size, this may still work well with tens of different systems, tools and Excel lists, but if growth is to really set in, a solid infrastructure or framework is needed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As an example, we have a medium-sized customer that simply handles a large part of its organization via its e-mail system. Different processes and smaller systems exist in parallel for different business transactions. The processing status of individual processes and actions cannot be viewed or can only be viewed with difficulty, the workload of individual departments or employees cannot be tracked, and therefore the necessary resources that the company actually needs cannot really be calculated on the basis of the data required for this. What is needed now is a central system that can be configured precisely along the needs of the medium-sized business and constantly adapted to them \u2013 without additional programming or IT effort and associated costs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For the digital solution to be a success, companies need an integrated solution that supports and secures their work processes, enables performance analyses and that optimizations can be implemented easily and quickly with. Flexibility and scalability of the software are the success factors to prevent more and more tools and software from being added as growth or change occurs, resulting in non-transparent processes and data silos. Then you end up back in the dilemma of e-mails and Excel lists.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
