Whether your business is looking to create, run, or scale its software, the same priorities hold true: you want it done quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively. By disrupting traditional processes, Builder is ensuring clients, from solo entrepreneurs to enterprise CEOs, of exactly that. With a business model that dares to look at software development differently, the SAAS or agency routes are no longer the only two options. As we enter a new year, we want to make sure those looking to create custom software are fully familiar with the third option, our option, and the opportunities it brings for the future of their business.
Before we were providing solutions to the software industry, we were busy getting to the root of the problems that existed within in. Numbers showed that more than half of software projects in the SME/SMB space never made it to fruition, resulting in an incredible amount of wasted potential. And so, we began by asking the question of, why? Why was this the case? In pushing the boundaries of conventional thinking and challenging the status quo, we sought to identify what it was about the traditional method of software development, that is via a SAAS or agency, that was resulting in so many unfulfilled dreams.
Clients limited to these two solutions shared the same feedback. They found SAAS to be on-demand and affordable, but constrained and slow, and agencies to provide more flexibility, but be risky and expensive. And yet, the reality that this was the give and take of getting your tech off the ground was simply accepted. Building software without the explicit know-how, was simply understood to be complex, expensive, risky and inefficient. And for a bit, the story seemed to end there.
Enter Builder. When we offered a new, third option that gave clients the best of both worlds: the infinite customisation normally reserved for expensive agency-led solutions, with the on-demand speed, reliability and consistency normally associated with SaaS, (minus the issues that usually came with both), many potential clients were understandably hesitant. In order for them to be compelled to trade in SAAS for Builder Studio, the three main concerns consistently associated with traditional software development needed to be explicitly addressed. In our quest to never make #BuilderGeneration choose between speed and market altering innovation ever again, we're recapped them for you below!
