What Makes ACE Inc. Custom Mobile Software and System Development So Good? Unmatched Quality, Unbeaten Skills.

The Human Element

The greatest hurdle in implementing a mobile solution may be human nature. Regardless of the approach taken, it is clear that providing to mobile workers anything close to real-time access requires careful consideration, due diligence and substantial work on the part of your custom software designer and in-house management.

However, for those who make the effort and investment, real-time access to this data results in dramatic and real financial and operational improvements, as well as long-lasting, financially rewarding business relationships.

One critical step is to involve the line in the decision-making in the early stages. We have meetings and ask them what features would make their jobs easier, while maintaining a cost balance. The people that will be using the software on a day-to-day basis need to understand that you are working with Artisan Crew Engineering to develop a software program that fits not only their daily needs, but also the needs of management. In other words, it's going to be a win/win for the whole group and a good balance for both.

Software systems are about more than servers, computers and code. They are also about people, organizational objectives, and intuitive usability. At ACE we seek to understand an organization as if it were our own before we write one line of code. We must understand an organization's requirements, what future needs could be foreseen, and who within the organization will be using the software. Once we have complete understanding of a company's vision, we work to gain full trust and cooperation so that the end product is a well-balanced system with room to grow.

Balance

What is a balanced system?
We like to think of it as providing a system that meets an organization's needs by balancing demands, functionality and cost. If these three areas are not brought into relative harmony, the result can be a very frustrating system, or even an unusable one.

Responsibility & Experience

ACE does not outsource programming for the systems we design. Our system engineers are directly involved throughout the development of each project, and have the rare experience of developing entire system software from start to finish. This is a huge advantage to our customers. Companies that outsource suffer more problems and delays because the programmers are removed from the evaluation stage of the development. The programmers simply do not understand the customer's needs because they are not directly involved. ACE's System Engineers are business professionals whose knowledge goes beyond coding. They can clearly understand a company's business model as well as build a custom software system. No software companies can compete with us on this point.

Pricing

As we explained in the section about the difference between prepackaged software and custom software, the per-user monthly licensing agreements actually penalize organizations for being successful.

First, the longer a company stays in business, the more it pays for the software over time.

Second, as the company grows, it pays more for each new salesperson it adds. Therefore, the total cost of ownership increases indefinitely

It's like renting a suit for work that has an ever-increasing monthly payment.

Pricing for ACE's custom software is the exact opposite because the software is purchased, not rented or leased. As an organization grows and adds people to its sales force, the total cost of ownership actually decreases. As with a suit, you only pay when you need a little more tailoring. Time to let the waist out a couple of inches? No problem, and no need to buy, or rent, a whole new suit.
