12 Oct How We Are Delivering Value For Our Customers
New software and tech keeps coming out at an alarming rate. Keeping up with the latest can be a full time hobby or in many cases even a full time job. Although software can literally be fun and games, Red Rock Software is a software company that understands how to create the perfect software for business.We can’t promise to make your job more fun through software. However, clients who utilise our custom software development services can expect to grow their company’s efficiency, profits, and ROI, no matter what their industry is: including telecommunications, construction, and healthcare. Here’s a few different ways Red Rock Software delivers value to our customers.
Agile Software Development
Red Rock Software is a custom software development company in Perth, that firmly believes in the benefits of agile software development, and specifically the SCRUM agile methodology. This more flexible strategy of development doesn’t just benefit us as developers- it also benefits our clients. After all, if it didn’t help our customers, then what would be the point?Agile development offers tangible benefits like faster speeds, which leads to less costs for the customer. According to a survey from Rally, customer participants saw an average increase of 50% in their time-to-market when it came to using agile software. Increased speed typically doesn’t lead to more mistakes either. According to the same study, defect counts remained steady despite the fact that schedules were being cut in half.On top of that, our methods of development allow our clients to be involved from start to finish. They might not be in the room with us, but we provide our clients a “live view” of the project. From the client dashboard, they have access to all the progress and documentation that our programming team does. This means much less wondering and fewer questions about exactly what stage the software is at and when the project will be finished. By including this feature within our custom software development services, it lowers risk overall and makes initial goals easier to obtain.
SharePoint Deployments
According to a McKinsey study,: [tweet_box design=”default”]80% of surveyed senior executives claimed that “effective coordination across product, functional, and geographic lines was crucial for growth.”[/tweet_box] Despite emphasis on the word “crucial” only 25% of the same respondents believed their organisations were effective at sharing knowledge across boundaries. Without communication, it’s hard for employees to easily collaborate with each other. Red Rock Software believes that SharePoint is the perfect software package to increase efficiency, collaboration, and productivity in any industry.In a different McKinsey study, it was found that deploying a specific set of tools removed 20-30% wasted time. The tools they identified as being the most successful were:
- An enterprise social networking site
- A remote-team management system that defined specific roles and responsibilities
- Linked individual employee blogs and photo sharing sites
- A wiki-based, staff updated manual
There are plenty of wikis out there and different kinds of blog options. However, the beauty of SharePoint is that all of these tools are built right in. They integrate completely with each other, allowing for a completely free-flowing information system that emphasises collaboration and leads to increased productivity.Why assemble a bunch of other programs that might not work well together when you can just use one? Well, we believe in using SharePoint for this purpose. It is completely customisable, ensuring that whatever your industry is, it will be able to help employees work together.
Databases, Big Data, and Everything In Between
Databases and the information that they allow are one of the most helpful ways to ensure the growth and success of a company. Red Rock Software focuses on producing fully integrated databases, accessible on multiple different screens- laptops, desktops, tablets, whatever is needed. This allows for complete mobility and flexibility in case a project manager is unable to be on site. Other added benefits include being able to provide quotes on site and receiving proper support in different locations.Of course, all of that data that’s being input into the database shouldn’t just sit there. It should work for you. How well can it work? A Nucleus Research study says that database analytics pays back $10.66 for every dollar spent. The ROI benefits speak for themselves. On top of that, the benefits increase in key areas like revenue, gross margin, and expenses.The idea is that all of the data your business takes in on a daily basis- orders, employee hours, customer contact information- can do more than just sit there, waiting to be accessed. With the right software, it’s possible to identify trends that might not have been found by the human eye. Past business performance can be studied to develop detailed strategies and plans for the future. It’s easier to find out when busy seasons are, what products and services are working, and which ones are costing your business the most money.At Red Rock Software, we believe that using the right software is integral to growing your business. Through careful, company-specific customisation, a software solution can make all the difference in your enterprise’s growth.
