Seven Mountains Custom Software LLC

Description

What is custom software? Custom software is a computer program tailored to your specific needs. At 7MCS, we also tailor the integration process to your needs, to minimize the impact of changes on your current business flow. We might start by automating a few of your current spreadsheets (don't worry, they can even look the same), then move toward reducing data entry tasks and redundant steps, improve the data integrity and so on. Sure, we'll be working to a plan, but the plan can be modified as needed, and it doesn't have to all happen at once. The program will have your business' logo and terminology, and can be changed to suite your needs as your business changes. Since it was created for your business, you don't have to purchase licenses for each machine or pay for monthly maintenance contracts. We have some customers using our software for many years without spending an additional penny. You pay only for updates and modifications you request. Custom software is like having a house custom built to your needs, where as ready-made software is like purchasing a modular home; cheaper, built for the 'Average' person, and it is not meant to be modified. Even worse, it comes in the mail with no help in hooking it up and tech support barely speaks english. But it IS cheaper, maybe... Would I be better off buying ready-made (or "shrink-wrapped") software? Do you know exactly what you need, now and in the future? Do you mind the chaos associated with switching your whole business over to a new way of doing things all at once? Are your software needs pretty standard, and similar to at least a few thousand other companies (like basic payroll)? If so, you way want to consider a 'ready-made' program. See How do I find if there is a ready-made program that will meet my needs? If, however this doesn't sound like the way you want to go, custom software may be the long term best solution for you. How do I find if there is a ready-made program that will meet A good software program with a solid reputation should not be hard to find; it should find you. If you have been searching the internet trying to find something that meets your needs, but are having no luck, dont waste your time. You wouldnt wan't to run your business on a bad program or even a good one with little or no support behind it. A good program with a solid company behind it will either be well known in your industry or you'll at least see plenty of advertisements for it. Here are some things to consider in your search: Write down what you need; now and for the future. Divide the list into "Must have...", "Should have..." and "Would be nice if it had..." • Is the program meant for your type of business? If it isn't, you will likely run into problems sooner or later. • Is the program "right-sized" or larger/smaller than you need? • Can you easily export your data into standard formats (like comma delimited [.csv], MS Access, MS Excel, etc.)? The most valuable part of a computer is the data you put into it (customer records etc.). Software companies often try to hold your data hostage by not allowing you to export it to common file formats.
