Indi­vi­du­al soft­ware deve­lo­p­ment is moving more and more into the back­ground with the increase of stan­dar­di­sed sys­tems. In fact, howe­ver, the need for cus­to­mi­sed soft­ware should be con­side­red in the same way as the demand for cus­to­mi­sed pro­ducts. The use of a stan­dard pro­duct or its adapt­a­ti­on is not always pos­si­ble or eco­no­mic­al­ly reasonable. This appli­es to soft­ware as well as to any other high-qua­li­ty capi­tal good.

ORISA Soft­ware GmbH has gai­ned con­sidera­ble expe­ri­ence with the lar­ge num­ber of suc­cessful­ly imple­men­ted pro­jects con­cer­ning pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on and CPQ, show­ing that cus­to­mers requi­re indi­vi­du­al pro­ducts and ser­vices tail­o­red to their needs. So why should­n’t this also app­ly to soft­ware deve­lo­p­ment?

Indi­vi­du­al soft­ware solu­ti­ons can be kept very lean in terms of usa­bi­li­ty and pro­cess exe­cu­ti­on, as they only map the neces­sa­ry requi­re­ments. Stan­dard sys­tems some­ti­mes come with a multi­tu­de of func­tions that are not neces­sa­ry for their spe­ci­fic pro­ces­ses. Howe­ver, the­se func­tions some­ti­mes still expect data and input that over­whelm or even annoy the users. Fur­ther­mo­re, indi­vi­du­al­ly desi­gned solu­ti­ons are fle­xi­ble for quick adapt­a­ti­ons. Moreo­ver, func­tions can be imple­men­ted that have not yet found their way into stan­dard appli­ca­ti­ons.

In addi­ti­on to pro­jects around the stan­dard pro­duct CREALIS® in the area of CPQ and pro­duct con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on, ORISA Soft­ware GmbH also offers the deve­lo­p­ment of indi­vi­du­al solu­ti­ons that are com­ple­te­ly tail­o­red to the needs and requi­re­ments of the cus­to­mers. In doing so, the tech­ni­cal as well as the pro­cess- and user-rela­ted requi­re­ments are imple­men­ted on the basis of modern stan­dar­di­sed frame­works and archi­tec­tures.

Ano­ther exam­p­le of an indi­vi­du­al con­fi­gu­ra­tor solu­ti­on is the Por­sche Car Con­fi­gu­ra­tor.
