If you were to look at the number of new
businesses that emerge every month especially
web based enterprises then you would be right to
assume that starting a business is not so hard.
Given the type of business integration software
available today, you can set up your business in
a week and with the right strategy be profitable
in a month. This ease with which such feats are
possible today is not to be taken for granted
though it was definitely not the norm just ten
years ago. The technological dark ages, as they
were made it infinitely harder to get things
done. Not to say that the tasks we hardly pay
attention to today were extremely hard, it was
simply harder and took much longer to start up
and make profits. With everything having to be
done manually or (if you were the lucky sort)
with the aid of legacy applications software,
efficiency as well as accuracy were often
compromised. The turn of the century though and
rapid developments in technology brought with
them a set of business integration software
applications that could be used to perform
repetitive tasks and thus halve the amount of
time and energy the manager had to spend on them.
Thus leaving the manager with ample time and
resources, to focus on strategies and growth
tactics aimed at making the business more
profitable.

When starting up a business there are a lot of
things to take into account. While most people
simply focus on licensing, financing and the
final product, it is also imperative to consider
aspects such as the business integration software
system that will run the enterprise. Given the
role and responsibilities of your operating
system it should be considered a major asset to
the business and treated as such. Many business
owners and managers typically buy random COTS and
SOA software, under the false impression that
one size fits all. This however is a fallacious
assumption that could end up causing you more
trouble in the long run. While choosing the
best business integration software for your
start-up business you must take several factors
into account. Firstly, what type of enterprise
are you running? This will determine the software
that you purchase. Secondly, what are your
immediate needs upon start-up? The reality is
that software is expensive. Rather than purchase
a package full of applications that you might not
need until five years down the line, its better
to buy for the here and now. Especially since
five years in technology can be like the
difference between stone-age and modern times. In
some cases you may even need custom software
development, thus planning appropriately for it
will help you afford the type of business
integration software applications that you need.

In cases where you may have taken over a going
concern with pre-installed IT systems, you may
consider legacy software migration or
modernization as opposed to a complete overhaul
of your systems. This is not only cheaper than
starting from scratch but you also get the
benefit of previously stored knowledge. When
purchasing software always remember to go for
what you need, in terms of what will afford you
the greatest benefit. Image Source prosign
