Why code.store
Build VS Buy flip
Having worked as IT in-house and external professionals for the past twenty years, we have witnessed the exponential acceleration of IT changes. We understand the pressures faced by IT teams, where maintenance costs consume budgets, and simultaneously, business requirements and opportunities continue to escalate. It is essential to champion core business functions in order to effectively grasp the future.
Migrating your legacy costly software to modern low-code stack is key to avoid costly SaaS (Salesforce, ServiceNow or Microsoft Dynamics for example).
Build VS Buy trend is flipping. After a decade of buying SaaS; companies now embrace a new era of building their own cloud-first, tailored applications but x10 faster and cheaper than before. We're experts in low-code and AI-based software building.
Internal Products Focus
As technology becomes more integral to business, the necessity for tailored software solutions becomes paramount. Many companies are transitioning from renting and adapting existing, often rigid software solutions, to developing internal products that are specifically tailored and optimised for their operational needs and business objectives. This shift/approach not only enhances customisation, adaptability and, cost efficiency, but also helps to gain a competitive advantage on the market.
Customization: Tailored features and functionalities that perfectly fit the unique business processes.
Agility: Greater flexibility to modify, improve and innovate in the internal product as needed without external limitations.
Cost Efficiency: Significant reduction in long-term costs associated with licensing fees and subscriptions.
Competitive advantage: Leveraging custom-developed tools to provide superior service that differentiate in the marketplace.
The product focus shift not only aligns with your strategic goals of innovation and self-reliance but also positions the company to better meet future challenges and opportunities.
