Successful businesses need IT solutions that deliver an edge over the competition. Most businesses recognise that IT solutions should be driven by business needs to obtain real benefits. A lot of organisations can obtain these benefits by purchasing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solutions, especially in well-established areas such as Financial Systems, ERP, etc. SciSys takes advantage of such strategies by leveraging the benefits of COTS solutions and providing the "glue" to integrate packages together and into the existing technical infrastructure of an organisation (see System Integration for more details).
In many cases there are no COTS solutions that match the business needs. A COTS solution will not necessarily provide an organisation with a competitive edge if the competition uses the same or a similar solution - it merely maintains the status quo.
SciSys has much experience at providing innovative bespoke solutions to achieve real business benefits and a competitive edge. No system these days is wholly "bespoke" and SciSys can capitalise on the whole range of available COTS software, especially Middleware and Open Source Software, to minimise the amount of bespoke software needed to produce a new solution.
