Configurable software is flexible, scalable, and can be continuously modified to meet the changing needs of the organization specific to the industry and the organization. In contrast, bespoke software is developed specifically for a particular customer by a development team, taking into account all customer specifics and needs. However, it is \"static\" in the sense that any changes to functionality require the intervention of programmers and updating of the system code.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-55280532 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"55280532\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ce87738\" data-id=\"ce87738\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3901253d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3901253d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aspecta.sk\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/logo-V-KRIVKACH-PIKTOGRAM-pcrkedkfd009j4j9ivks8slnpnrepar9vcpp9tosvk.png\" title=\"Logo Aspecta\" alt=\"aspecta logo\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-60ec5722\" data-id=\"60ec5722\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1030eda elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1030eda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Configurable software versus customised software<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ed6572a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ed6572a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8d7d6cf\" data-id=\"8d7d6cf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68b4eaa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"68b4eaa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Bespoke software from a reliable supplier can cover virtually any agenda. Of course, really good software also comes with relatively high costs, longer and more difficult implementation, and large IT teams and external consultants are needed to develop and deploy it. And that's whenever your business moves to a new level and your software requirements change as a result. However, as digital transformation evolves, so does this approach. The rise of cloud and SaaS solutions, the constant acceleration of technological change and the need to react to it more flexibly than ever before, has led to the need to configure software solutions

Configuration takes place during the software deployment process. You work with consultants using tools and applications that are already part of the software. With their help, you can modify, for example, fields, values, dials, roles and system functions to best suit your business processes and business. Software configuration does not require programming, ideally not even extensive technical knowledge, and does not affect any fundamental aspect of the software's operation. Configurability is part of it and one of its most important features. Such software has, in simplified terms, a set of pre-prepared components or modules that can be combined in various ways and adapted to specific business needs. Developers do not create software from scratch, but build it on a ready-made core that is configurable to your business processes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0e9705 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a0e9705\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Examples of configurable solutions: <\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.solvedio.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solvedio<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/sk-sk\/microsoft-365\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Office 365<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dynamics.microsoft.com\/en-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Dynamics<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-00288e0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"00288e0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-a7f0960\" data-id=\"a7f0960\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-904f766 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"904f766\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #ec2426;\"><strong>Benefits of configurable software:<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u29bf <strong>Implementation time is significantly reduced<\/strong>. Because you are buying a system whose basic structure is the same for all users, deployment takes from a few days to a few weeks.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u29bf The configurable system foundation is used by many organizations. The software provider thus has <strong>continuous feedback<\/strong> and is able to identify and <strong>incorporate updates<\/strong>that will benefit the majority of potential users.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u29bf <strong>Updates to the system are generally free of charge.<\/strong> While a customised solution requires you to hire a software developer to make any changes or updates, configurable system providers continuously install updates for you to run more efficiently. These updates are usually included in the subscription price.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u29bf Most providers of configurable solutions include <strong>online communities with whom you can share best practices<\/strong> and read about new and innovative ways they are using or configuring their system.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u29bf Configurable solutions bring much <strong>lower initial costs<\/strong>. There are also standard <strong>free resources<\/strong> - user manuals, training, tutorials, as they are relevant for all customers. Thus, there is not as much need for training of new employees.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u29bf Configurable software is often developed by narrowly focused companies.

This type of software is suitable for banks, large lenders with established business practices and large manufacturing companies. Configurable software is the \"happy medium,\" so to speak. The initial cost is much lower than customized software, but it still provides much more functionality than an out-of-the-box solution. This is why many developers see the future of software in configurable and <a href=\"https:\/\/searchsoftwarequality.techtarget.com\/definition\/low-code-no-code-development-platform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">low-code or no-code<\/a> solutions. Currently, the most likely situation is that a company will use both or a combination of these approaches within its IT infrastructure.&nbsp;<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-primary ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-size: 1rem;\">Services such as Office 365, Microsoft Dynamics or Solvedio make it possible to cover part of the processes by configuration. What cannot be covered by configuration can be implemented as an extension.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When making a decision, it is important to consider in particular:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Purpose of the software: <\/strong>Think about what business processes the software solution will cover, what tasks it is intended to digitise and what its primary use will be. This very first point can offer you a clear answer to the question of whether to choose a configurable solution or a bespoke solution.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Budget: <\/strong>The initial cost of custom software is orders of magnitude higher than the initial cost of a configurable solution. On the other hand, for configurable software you usually pay a time subscription or a subscription fee for a certain number of users or versions. It is therefore very important to also consider the savings that bespoke software will bring to your business in the long run. On the other hand, there are upgrades, which are traditionally free of charge with configurable systems, whereas custom software upgrades require the involvement of a development team and time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Implementation time:<\/strong> You can implement a configurable solution into your IT infrastructure in a matter of days or weeks. Implementing a customized solution usually takes months. This can also be an important factor that weighs in your decision.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your business segment and business goals: <\/strong>Some segments are evolving faster than others in technological terms. Therefore, a higher degree of flexibility is essential for them, which is what configurable software offers. On the other hand, there are segments with robust workflows whose requirements can be much better covered by customised software.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>From the above, it is clear that different clients need different levels of customisation of their software, based on their specific business needs. Configurable software can be about finding compromises in terms of functionality in some ways, on the other hand it has an undeniable advantage in terms of acquisition cost and speed of
