“The Business Analysis Workshop was a fascinating experience… it led to a much better understanding of the positives and negatives or our current systems.”

Put a systems strategy in place

As your business grows and evolves, the software systems that were once all you needed become inadequate and potentially frustrating. At this point you need to bite the bullet and assess what needs to change to get you to where you want to be. 

With a clear systems strategy in place, you’ll have the right business software to do your job well. Everything becomes easier and your existing teams will become more productive. The improvements may be small, incremental steps that add up to significant efficiencies, or a dramatic change in how your business performs. Either way it won’t happen without a careful analysis of your current set-up.

How we build you a systems strategy

We start by gaining a thorough understanding of your business objectives: what do you really want to achieve and by when? This is the essential first stage. 

The next step is to audit what systems are in place now. We look for duplication of tasks and opportunities to simplify how you work. We’ll identify software that can’t scale properly as you grow. We’ll also spot gaps that need filling: where you’re doing tasks manually, or not doing them at all. 

Finally we recommend what the end state should be by outlining what we see as the digital business tools you need to achieve your goals – and explain how to get there from where we are now. Our recommendations will be entirely technology-agnostic. 

Throughout the process, our overriding goal is to ensure you have the right tools for the job, whatever they may be.

Each month the Decent Group newsletter delivers practical insights into how software systems can help you run a better business. It’s a quick way to check on your progress, identify business benefits you’re missing, and gain inspiration for the road ahead. 

We typically explore how SMEs can (and should) leverage business systems to achieve tangible benefits. We dive into a recent project and what it delivered for our client, with lessons for businesses like yours. We'll also highlight the new tools and solutions our team has been developing and the impact they’re having on our clients (and ourselves). And we cover any relevant FileMaker news and what actions you can take in response.
