Once upon a time…

…developing customised database systems to meet the specific needs of individual businesses required a significant investment. The costs were prohibitive, handicapping small businesses. Larger businesses not only enjoyed greater economy of scale but were also better able to invest in technological advantage.

However, smaller businesses no longer have to play this part of the great game of business with loaded dice. The emergence of software development platforms has transformed the bespoke software development market out of all recognition. This enables Line-of-Business or LoB applications, with functionality specific to particular industries or verticals, to be quickly and more easily developed.

Modularity, advanced API design and XML standardisation for data exchange means that a database driven, SaaS, LoB solution like Etz can be readily fitted to deliver functionality and reporting that meet the specific business needs of each client organisation.

However best value is not a given for every LoB, SaaS based timesheet solution. Whether you are a big city mid-market agency with vertical or sector specialisation, or a small agency in the provinces with a whole of market remit, choosing a good LoB developer and solution provider is the key to obtaining the best value.

To ensure you have a timesheet solution that is fitted to your needs and delivers the best value to your business, make sure you ask the right questions.
