Our Philosopy for Success
Processes can always be improved. They can then be transformed into efficient
software applications, automated in some instances, and then extended to users
outside the organization. The technology for achieving these goals is available
in many forms and on many platforms. We chose to represent Microsoft Navision
because we were impressed by it’s friendly user interface, the functionality
out of the box and the ease at which we could manipulate the software and add
custom functionality.
We have found that many of the standard applications on the market do not
provide well for custom functionality. In fact many of the vendors for these
products make it difficult and costly to customize their software. A majority
recommend against doing so. Oztera believes this close minded approach to
implementations is one of the components that sets successful implementations
apart from the failures. Many businesses have found dominance in markets by
doing things differently, why should they conform to an application that makes
them change that model?
There are some instances where changing processes to fit more standard
approaches makes sense, but a company should have the option to modify the
software in circumstances that warrant such a change. They should also not have
to break the bank in order to do so. Because of the flexibility of Microsoft
Navision and the talent of our staff, our Systems Analysts and Developers are
able to work closely with the implementation team and modify the software to
mold to your business model. We believe it is up to us your Partner to accept
and extend the business model that has made you successful.
To help your project be successful you need more than just a robust platform,
sound processes and good development. In fact, the main reason for failed
implementations has absolutely nothing to do with technology. It is the end
users that interact with the system that make or break the integration. Company
culture is a touchy subject, and unless users can play a part and see the
benefits of the project, there is little chance for success. This is the main
reason that Oztera places a large emphasis on company involvement and end user
training.
From the beginning, you will notice our attention to the end user and their
concerns. We involve the key players in the organization and encourage
communications with the rest of the staff, making their voices and concerns
heard, documented and included in the project requirements when applicable. To
insure the project doesn’t get inundated with a daunting number of
modifications, we phase in aspects that are not critical to the success of the
project, allowing all concerns to be addressed while keeping focus on the
immediate goals.
In addition to user involvement, we seek to give you the keys to the world of
Navision. Our goal is not only to marry your processes with the software, but
to also create a union between your end users and the software. An intimate
understanding of the areas your end users are responsible for is crucial to the
success of the implementation. That is the reason for our commitment to our
training services. We team up your end users with experienced trainers that
know specific application modules inside and out. They will not only walk your
employees through specific processes, they will also explain the necessary
details of what the system is processing, and how what they do affects the rest
of the company as a whole.
At the end of the day, you can rest assured that your staff understands and is
confident in the journey you have embarked on. With Oztera, you will know that
they have accepted and embraced the tool that will help your company grow and
make your relationships flourish.
