Proven Software Development For The Business & Software Services Industry!

— Overview, Process & Tips —

Creating custom software that provides an intuitive experience for your customers is crucial to staying competitive. That is why Intertech’s experienced full-time teams and consultants work to support your technical teams, side-by-side or autonomously. Our senior consultants ensure that every modernization made and each new solution introduced is built to your specification.

Whether working on your SaaS product in tandem with your technical team or designing and architecting a new internal system that converts a monolithic system to an agile microservices system… that is manageable, Intertech can help.

If You Can Think It Up, We Can Probably Build It. If It’s Already In Place And Needs To Be Updated… We Can Do That Too!

Our experienced development team listens to your ideas, identifies solutions that fit your IT requirements, and proposes technologies, toolsets, and libraries suited for your environment. Next, they evaluate the repetitive tasks you have identified and implement automated processes that minimize human intervention and headaches, eliminating processing errors and reducing each task’s “Estimated-Time-To-Completion (ETC).” At the same time, they consider how they can automate compliance verification with laws unique to your industry and outline ways to collect and filter your proprietary data for predictive modeling and process automation. And finally, they wrap it all up using universally accepted development best practices and documentation, so you realize an end product that does what you need and is maintainable.

If It Is Repetitive In Nature We Can Probably Automate It.

Almost any area that is repetitive can be automated. These areas can fall under clerical tasks, customer service, accounting and finance, support services, data modeling, compliance, and just about anything you can think of that is repetitive, based on timing, challenges, or historical information. For example, consider any area within your department or across the company that is high-volume, may have to follow compliance laws, is time-sensitive, or generates recurring data that is currently in a form that is collected but not utilized. There is no other improvement you can make that impacts profit and productivity like business process automation.

The Secret To Longevity In Serving Businesses Is Productive Automation.

The most significant benefit of automation in the business services sector is the increase in productivity. Correctly implemented custom software does exactly what you need it to do, does not require breaks, does not make mistakes, hits your deadlines, and impacts your bottom line 24-hours a day. This translates into cost reduction and is an essential benefit of automation. Time-related to tasks is reduced. Moreover, personal expenses related to repetitive work are eliminated, allowing for more satisfying and less stressful work conditions. As business changes, the software adjusts. This elasticity does not fight change. Well-developed software provides output immediately and links your entire company together so the benefits discovered by one department can be realized by another.

How To Determine Where Custom Software Fits In Your Business.

Ask These Questions

Question #1Do you currently have a set of tasks that follow specific rules? Most repetitive tasks are based on a set of rules. When programmed into the software these rules allow the application to take over and increase efficiency while providing consistent data across the process, improving accuracy and efficiency.

Question #2Does the task have anticipated inputs and outputs? Even if the input and output have multiple options, it is still redundant. It can be designed to react specifically to each condition, eliminating time to respond and providing a seamless transition forward.

Question #3Does the task have multiple repetitive steps? As an example, collecting and evaluating content accuracy and identifying areas for adjustment that impact the bottom line can be laborious. By automating steps to react to specific responses, the data can be collected, evaluated, and calculated in a split second while instantaneously being added to your proprietary data center, to be used for analysis and machine learning later. There is no limit to what process automation can do for you.

Ask Yourself If The Benefits Are Worth The Investment Before Proceeding.

When it comes time to invest in a new application, the software feasibility study is crucial in understanding what you need. Before making a decision, it is essential to understand the current situation, pinpoint the pain points, and work with an experienced technical asset to assess the various options available to you. Rule #1: If a prepackaged Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution does what you need, it should be considered. However, any Software-as-a-Service will begin to dictate the decisions you make, hamstringing you to a solution that may initially appear less expensive but in the end require time-consuming process changes and additional services to do what you wanted in the first place.

The enhancements that custom software introduce have proven to impact efficiency, retention of employees, workplace happiness, and in the end, business differentiation. In general, custom software that eliminates some of the manual aspects of a task results in more accurate data and the promotion of efficiencies. And when introduced into the business services industry, the effects are even more far-reaching, impacting the bottom line of all involved through cost-cutting, better customer care, and greater financial reward.

Where Should You Start?

Determine Your Company's Appetite For Automated Improvements

Determine the mood of your organization toward automation. Buy-in from key stakeholders is required. Business Process Automation changes how work gets done and can generate fear that jobs will be eliminated rather than create a more efficient and enjoyable workplace. When considering ROI, make sure to calculate it over a realistic period, understanding that your business will need to rely on automation to stay competitive.

Identify Processes That May Lend Themselves To Automation

There are two items to consider. The first is which processes are taking up considerable time and are repetitive. The repetition can be spread over hours or days, but a job is typically based on repetition. The second item to consider is what is being generated from the process. If data is the result, stakes are higher because all data generated and collected in the correct format gives your business leaders the ability to predict upcoming events and forecast more accurately.

Identify Specific Steps Within Each Targeted Process For Automation

After identifying potential processes for automation, outline the specific steps within each process that can be improved or eliminated. The existing process must be improved enough to make automation worth the time and investment, so take care in evaluating each step within each process. Consider speaking with your internal business analyst and IT department, and then contacting Intertech to help you assess your operation and develop a plan that fits your budget and needs.
