Whether your organization is already embarked on a Digital Transformation initiative or just started to automate some of the business processes to improve its management, you are most probably considering the use of Low-Code/ No-Code software to build custom Apps faster than using the traditional custom-coding approach.
Currently there are endless options in the market to choose from with an impressive variety of features and targeting different spectrum of scenarios, and in order to save your time, we want to let you know why not to choose AgileXRM:
1. You don’t like Microsoft products in general for whatever reason.
There you go then, AgileXRM just works with Microsoft and seamlessly integrates with Power Platform using Dataverse and is deployed in Azure. Anyhow, there are a few other products to build your custom apps.
2. You are a coder inside out and/or don’t buy the Low-Code/ No-Code trend as a real option to build complex business apps in-time.
AgileXRM provides comprehensive Dialogs and Business Process Management (BPM) capabilities that turn Microsoft Power Platform into a truly Low-Code platform to build Enterprise-class apps that respond to any complex scenario.
3. Your Business Apps or Processes are deployed on-premises and/or don’t need to scale.
It’s true that SMBs may not need their Apps to scale … today, but certainly is better to build your processes with an architecture that allows you to respond to higher demands that will come tomorrow, with a better Cost/Benefit ratio than having to re-build your assets to respond to your business growth.
In AgileXRM, we believe the future is now and is deployed on the Azure cloud in our case. The cloud allows scaling in a very efficient way, easy, fast and with the flexibility to scale up or down responding to specific business needs.
4. In your organization the Business Apps or Processes have low complexity and do not change frequently.
You are lucky if you can handle such an environment. Low-complexity processes tend to be just the low-hanging fruit, especially in organizations that decide to test-drive the “Low-Code promise” with their blended teams of IT and Business users: “Employee vacation request”, “Expense report”, “Office supplies purchase”, “Time tracking”, “Internal IT Helpdesk”, “Employee feedback”, “Employee onboarding, off-boarding”, “Inventory Management”, etc. Soon they realize that a departmental farm of Apps in an affiliate does not fit corporate requirements and that the best ripped fruit is higher in the tree: “Assets management”, “CAPEX disposal”, “Budget approval”, “Claims management”, “Audit incident response”, “Contracts management”, “Governance, Risk and Compliance processes”, etc. Suddenly, Fusion Teams and Centers of Excellence need to be set up and must cope with parallel approval processes, action traceability on data changes, security roles management, rule-based tasks assignment to groups, multiple job calendars, currencies, local-times, languages …. And, yes, new requirements must be included as there are new regulations, competitors, technologies, and improvement ideas that can’t be missed.
In AgileXRM you build and configure any process with our Microsoft Visio-based modeler, end to end, and the model becomes the executable, within Power Apps. Think of using a full-fledged Dialogs and BPM add-on that responds to complex requirements orchestrating the powerful Microsoft stack to suit from simple to Enterprise-grade business processes.
5. Because it's expensive.
You get what you pay for, and Microsoft Power Platform is a top-quality product family that has been tested and proven to be a reliable platform that is worth the investment (ref. Forrester TEI) . Adding AgileXRM for an additional fraction is worth the total investment (ref. AgileXRM Pricing) to build and manage your business processes and Apps, today and tomorrow.
In AgileXRM we are devoted to listening to our customers that also rely on Microsoft technologies, and understanding what product features are still missing that could help them to do their job more easily, more productively, and error-free. We realize that the process happy-path kicks in 80% of the times and so we focus the product development on providing the capabilities to handle exceptions, respond to uncertainty and be flexible to adapt Business Apps and processes to new requirements at the speed that Business demands.
Certainly, you may have to look for other alternative products to fit your specific business and technology scenarios. Otherwise, do let us know. We are sure you will be amazed!
