The «5A» stands for 5A – Pleasantly different from all the others. By this he means not only himself, but also the unique guests he invites to his podcast. We asked Urs why he decided to talk to soxes CEO Patrick Büchler.

soxes appealed to me primarily because the company is over 20 years old and is doing well in what I consider to be a difficult market for customised software. I also found Patrick very likeable and authentic after an initial online meeting. These are both qualities that I like about my podcast.

Here are the most important topics discussed in the podcast:

The importance of customised software solutions

Patrick Büchler emphasises how important individual software solutions are for companies. He explains that standard software often reaches its limits when it comes to fulfilling specific requirements. Customised software, on the other hand, offers the flexibility to respond precisely to customers’ needs and offer them real added value.

Challenges and opportunities of customised software

A central topic of the discussion is the challenge of convincing customers of the benefits of customised software. Companies often only recognise the value of customised software after negative experiences with standard solutions.

The three pillars of soxes

In the podcast, Patrick Büchler explains that soxes focuses on three central areas of expertise:

1. custom adaptation

2. customised business process solutions

3. re-engineering of legacy software

soxes CEO Patrick Büchler uses real customer examples to explain how these areas of expertise offer customers real added value. Urs Prantl ensures that the conversation remains lively and worth listening to with his exciting, critical and in-depth questions.
