How software helps simplify and optimize business

Por: Allan Duarte
Since the dawn of humanity, man has followed, sometimes consciously and sometimes not so consciously, a series of steps to achieve different goals. Looking back through history, we realize that different cultures around the world at different times, have carried out different tasks from the creation of pyramids, through the construction of ships, to the massive collection of data. However, they all have a common denominator: process.

In this way, a process can be defined as the logical series of steps that help to accomplish an objective efficiently. That said, not every sequence of steps automatically becomes a process due to its lack of logic.

Today, both individuals and companies have more advanced tools than in previous times, which help processes to be carried out more quickly. In a dynamic and globalized world, having processes does not guarantee the successful accomplishment of a proposed task.

Nowadays, it is absurdly surprising how some companies do not take advantage of modern mechanisms; on the contrary, they are left behind without making use of the valuable tools that the global market offers. In this way, a mechanism not used by most companies in the optimization of their processes is software, leaving them behind and not standing out from the competition.

Companies that consider software as part of their assets, are the ones that stand out from their competitors because they have found a way to analyze millions of data becoming information in real time. Here lies one of the main differences between a successful company and one that does not advance or fails: the latter sees software as an expense, a bad investment, an instrument that will not help it to make decisions and, on the contrary, will increase its costs, leaving less profit.

In this way, companies that have computerized applications have many more advantages because they can analyze the market more quickly, measuring when the market favors them or not; they also have greater global visibility, making their business recognized; they can report more business.

Finally, I would like to clarify that I believe that not every manual process is bad, sometimes it is necessary. However, it is precisely the software in the processes that gives the advantage to a winning company.
