Why Vanilla often leaves a bad taste

by Daniel Ball, Marketing Director, Wax Digital 5. December 2007 00:17

One of the major selling points we go to market with is the ability to endlessly configure our solution set to meet customer requirements precisely – we call it ‘no compromise eProcurement’.

 

Most organisations of the scale that we deal with recognise that their needs – for which read their core business processes – will differ slightly from any other given organisation. Nonetheless, they still tend to believe that the vast majority of the solution they need is a ‘vanilla’ eProcurement system, identical in pretty well every respect to the industry best practice.

 

It’s a widely shared view that typically leads to one of two outcomes:

 

»       An in-depth business analysis by an expert team from an experienced vendor teases out the things that make a business different and plans to accommodate, even to enrich those differences by delivering a solution configured to suit.

»       An ‘industry standard’ solution is delivered that fails to accommodate these processes at the outset, and cannot easily or cost-effectively be re-engineered subsequently. At the end of such a contract we are often invited to pitch.

 

The ability to understand and respond to the complexities of real-world organisations – even where it seems on the surface that they are trying to achieve broadly the same goals by the same means - represents a fundamental difference between a successful enterprise eProcurement deployment and a failing one.

 

If you’re not convinced, we offer the analysis and specification stage of our work as a discrete project – we’d invite you to try it out, because it brings your business requirements under a powerful microscope and you might even be surprised by what you find.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.
