Digital City

The SME’s were from varying industries including Oil & Gas, Heavy Engineering, Pharmaceutical, sports, safety and servicing.

Problem

The diversity of the project delivery meant there wasn’t just one problem, these were the common ones:

  • Businesses operate inefficient software solutions where duplicate information is recorded but not linked between systems.
  • Businesses often use lots of spreadsheets, created by different people over many years these become fundamental to the operation of the business. However the spreadsheets tend to introduce many inefficiencies, duplication of effort and human errors into the business.
  • Staff in these businesses are spending longer to perform their duties because of the lack of integration.
  • Although not a problem part of the digital audit consultancy involved detailing the technology choices and options available to businesses looking to create a software platform.

 

Solution

With each of the businesses we spent time listening to key staff and exploring all the areas of IT and software if relevant. We then spent time researching these platforms or industries so a bespoke report could be created.

The bespoke report detailed the possible solutions and options available to enable innovation and growth and to prevent the inefficiencies within the business. The report also detailed possible timescales, costs, things to consider such as hosting architecture, resilience and disaster recovery.

Business Benefits

The following business benefits have been realised by the SMEs involved in the program.

  • Detailed development roadmaps – each business had a realistic roadmap of development so the whole project didn’t need to be done in one go.
  • Options – the solutions include elements of off the shelf solutions. If the solution warrants it and there is a product we can recommend then it will be recommended. This saves cost, development time and there’s no point reinventing the wheel!
  • The solution to unlock growth potential and innovation!
What our clients say
With more than 10 years' experience providing solutions for the financial sector, the team at Sapere are talented, professional and good fun to work alongside. We spent 40 hours with them detailing our specifications and I was extremely impressed with how well this was captured. They really understood the intricacies of our business and have helped improve the working environment for staff. The new digital system they've built has addressed the frustrations of our previous system, especially in reducing the duplication of tasks like scanning documents that are now automatically uploaded via an app.
Phil Carey - Chief Executive of Tees Mutual and Managing Partner at Careys Personal Credit
We needed our systems to be more robust and to produce reliable data that would inform our business decisions – Sapere delivered just that. The company resolved the issues we had been experiencing and worked to create a platform that could grow with us. We were so impressed, we have continued to work with Sapere for additional projects.
Kevin Brown - Pacifica Group - Group Managing Director
I wanted a software solution that would both allow my business to grow with more ease and give my domestic and commercial clients a better experience. I approached several companies but decided to go with Sapere due to their professional and easy to understand approach to software development. I knew where I stood at all stages of development and having my own go-to contact in the development stage meant the process could be more organic, with things changing along the way as we tweaked and tailored the software to fit my needs exactly. I'm extremely happy with the end result and would happily work with Sapere on future projects.
