The Bottom Line |
|
Software As We Know It Software-making takes time and complicated. Customized software is expensive. Packages are complex and inflexible. There is no competitive advantage when everyone is using the same system; it is keeping up with the Joneses. There are many instances in the day-to-day business operations where computers could help but cannot due to cost and time constraints. Consider these examples: 1. If a report is needed for an urgent managers' meeting in 15 minutes, it could take the programmer one hour to write and test the program and generate the report. Too late. 2. If customizing a marketing system for a one-day tradeshow costs $800, you will probably live without it. These examples relate to many dynamic activities. Traditional software applies to major, relatively static systems the costs of which are spread over many months. Using GenRe Let us review the examples: a non-technical employee...completes the report in 10 minutes and creates the system within 4 hours, making it affordable.. GenRe is a PC user's tool just like Microsoft Word and Excel. Word creates documents. Excel creates spreadsheets. GenRe creates software and saves significant time and money when used for customizing static applications such as accounting. It is also a cost-effective tool for creating programmable forms and spreadsheets and for computerizing more processes and procedures. Many little things, when taken together, lead to improved customer service and increased productivity. The Bottom Line GenRe reduces the cost and time constraints that prevent the widespread application of software. For professionals and small business, this means taking control, to customize software at their own pace and time, and having the advantage to modify programs at the speed of their business. |
