Veraterm Value Proposition



 

Top Reasons to Implement Veraterm Solutions

The Veraterm Technology Engine can be sold and/or supported by partners and
developers as a new line-of-business or to augment an existing line-of-business.
Here are some of the top reasons for using Veraterm Technology:

Enhance Existing Products and Solutions

Vertical Market Software Packages.  Add intelligent integration features to your software product as an "add-in."  Offer features not found in competing products.  Integrate with other databases at the user document level.
Existing ERP/CRM/Database Installations.  Organizations need to get the most out of existing software installations.  By offering Veraterm workflow enhancements you can demonstrate a committment to the same goal.

A Reason To Call on Prospects and Customers

A Unique Solution.  Whether you are calling on a new prospect or an existing customer, it is nice to have a solution that they will want - a way to get more value from existing technology.
Demonstrate ROI.  Over the last four years, database and integration solutions (EAI technology, in particular) have been necessary as infrastructure projects, but have been difficult to promote based on short-term and calculatable return-on-investment (ROI).  Today, software technology must provide an almost immediate ROI to even be considered.  With Veraterm, you can calculate the ROI for a given client based on the time-savings and/or value added to an existing data-related workflow.

Increased Consulting Revenues

Custom Development.  Some companies promote their products based on the scare that custom software development is a terrible and unnecessary thing!  Customization, however, is necessary at some level in order to allow end-users to differentiate themselves competitively.  The aim of the software industry has been to provide customization capability by configuration, decreasing the need for custom programming.  Veraterm Technology is in step with this industry goal, allowing implementation by configuration.  Yet custom programming is not going away!  It is best indicated for features that are very specific to the end-user, and not for system-level development.  Again, Veraterm Technology falls in-step with this trend by providing an integration infrastructure to the developer, who can then provide custom development as needed by the client.
Installation and Configuration.  Organizations often want an expert with industry knowledge and/or existing-system knowledge to implement Veraterm solutions.  This creates an opportunity for you to provide consulting services to support the product.

Just-In-Time Integration

Reusable Components.  The Veraterm System sits between the user and enterprise data.  Veraterm integrates with one or more data sources.  As a company adds or replaces database applications (or even adds standalone custom databases), the Veraterm system can be reconfigured to access the new data sources.  The Veraterm System is reusable and adaptable.
EAI Alternative.  Organizations have integration scenarios that differ widely. (See the Integration Technology  section for more information).  Companies which do not need or which cannot justify the cost of full-featured EAI infrastructure often use an "eyeball integration"  technique, whereby the user collects information from different windows on the screen.  Veraterm Technology offers a cost-effective solution and useful alternative to EAI for many such users.
