Business process digitalisation

Are your employees losing valuable time due to inefficient software or outdated systems? Are they also struggling to keep track of stock, orders or projects? Is your company missing out on potential business opportunities because the software is not flexible enough? Could you reduce costs and use resources more efficiently if your software was optimised?

Our team of software modernisation experts can help you bring your company’s existing software landscape up to date and make it future-proof. Even established companies often struggle with outdated but business-critical software solutions. Through software reengineering, or simply put, the «modernisation of applications», companies regain control of their systems.

Re-engineering is a multi-layered process that aims to modernise legacy software. Software re-engineering comprises various sub-processes, each of which improves different aspects of the application. The aim is to increase the maintainability, performance, scalability and security of the software system without significantly changing the fundamental logic.

Many companies struggle with inefficient and outdated methods. This can manifest itself in long throughput times, media disruptions, unnecessary waiting times and too many manual interventions. Such bottlenecks hinder productivity and lead to higher costs. People often rely on methods and programming languages “because they’ve always done it that way”. But it is precisely this approach that can prevent improvements. Software re-engineering is a proven approach to identifying inefficient systems and replacing them with improved solutions.

If you had the opportunity to improve the foundations of your business and make it more efficient, you would take it, wouldn’t you? That’s the key to success – functional, modern software that is precisely tailored to your company’s requirements and efficiently digitalises your business processes!

What impact does software re-engineering have on your business processes?

The digitalisation and modernisation of your business processes through software re-engineering can have a positive impact on your company and bring it forward in the long term. Here are some of the most important effects:

1. Increased efficiency: by optimising and automating business processes, your employees can work faster and more effectively. Inefficient and manual tasks are reduced, resulting in significant time savings.
2. Cost reduction: Modernised software solutions reduce operating costs through less downtime, lower maintenance costs and more efficient use of resources. This reduces costs and allows the budget to be used for other strategic initiatives.
3. Improved data overview: Modernised software provides a better overview of stocks, orders and projects. This facilitates decision-making, as relevant data is available in real time and becomes more transparent.
4. Increased flexibility and scalability: Modern software solutions often have a modular structure and are easier to customise. This means that your company can react more quickly to market changes and capitalise on new business opportunities.
5. Competitive advantage: By using advanced technologies and optimised processes, you can set your company apart from the competition. A modern IT infrastructure improves responsiveness and customer satisfaction.
6. Security and compliance: Modernised systems offer better security functions and meet current compliance requirements. This reduces the risk of security breaches and ensures the protection of sensitive company data.
7. Employee satisfaction: User-friendly, modern software improves the working conditions for your employees. This leads to higher satisfaction and productivity as they spend less time working with inefficient systems.

Step by step to modern software

Optimising existing software plays a key role in increasing efficiency and competitiveness. Automation reduces repetitive and time-consuming tasks, such as automatically creating and sending invoices or monitoring stock levels in real time. Customised software solutions are crucial here, as standard software often cannot cover all specific requirements.

Modern and efficient customised development also enables the seamless integration of data from different sources, which eliminates media disruptions and ensures that all departments work with up-to-date data. Custom software solutions can process and analyse large amounts of data in real time, enabling quick and informed decisions, while custom workflows accurately map and optimise specific processes.

To fully utilise these benefits, a thoughtful approach to re-engineering legacy software is necessary. Clear methods and approaches are crucial to successfully manage the transition to modern software solutions. Here are some proven steps that we follow:

1. Define target state: The first step is to define the desired end state. Once it is clear where the journey is heading, the path to get there can be planned.
2. Process analysis: Record and document existing processes. This forms the basis for all further steps.
3. Identify potential for improvement: Uncover bottlenecks and inefficient processes.
4. Use technologies: Use modern technologies and individual software for process automation and optimisation. This can significantly increase the quality and reliability of processes.
5. Gradual modernisation without BIG BANG: Implement changes step by step. This minimises risks and enables continuous improvement of processes.

Would you like to find out more about the gradual modernisation of software? Then familiarise yourself with the slice & dice method using our KUBE-X development platform as an example!
With KUBE-X, functionalities are covered by standard services wherever possible. This can massively reduce development time and therefore costs. Once the application has been established on the KUBE-X platform, new standard functions can be activated at any time at the click of a mouse. Our developers can work with you to focus on the components that differentiate your application from the competition and make it unique.

As an alternative to KUBE-X, soxes can also provide a completely customised environment and apply the above pattern. This may make more sense depending on the characteristics and operating situation. As a manufacturer of customised solutions, soxes is of course flexible here and strives to provide the optimum solution for the given situation. In this case too, you can benefit from our experience and our ready-made components.
