BACKWhat is enterprise software management?
The term enterprise software management refers to a complex mix of people, services, and tools. It is not about one company IT specialist who connects computers, installs operating systems, and writes on the company’s social networks in their spare time. Having your own IT department is not worthwhile for small and medium-sized companies. One person is not enough and does not have the required expertise to cover all needs. However, an internal IT department can cost several hundred thousand dollars.
Caring for the software environment in a company
Corporate software management includes a complete package of services to ensure the smooth running of the programs and tools that the company uses.
- Updates – regular updates and custom software enhancements to meet the current needs of the company.
- Monitoring – monitoring software status, errors, and performance, generating reports for evaluating effectiveness, identifying problems, and further development.
- Security – protecting software from cyber threats, viruses, and malware, including ensuring secure data storage.
- User support – providing customer support in case of software problems, ensuring training and integration of new tools into the company’s operations.
- Virtualization and cloud services – using virtualization and the cloud for more efficient data management and backup.
Why is enterprise software management important?
Maintaining enterprise software keeps the company and the tools it uses up to date. In addition, enterprise software management is key to ensuring the security of company data and the safe operation of the company. It reduces costs for companies – functional software does not make mistakes and therefore does not generate losses.
Outsourcing the IT department increases competitiveness. Thanks to the flexible capacities of companies for external software management, the company can better respond to market changes and keep pace with the competition.
Last but not least, it is also a matter of compliance with applicable legislation. The IT sector has undergone many changes in recent years – whether it be GDPR, cookies, or the upcoming cyber security law. An external company will ensure that corporate software complies with current legislative requirements.
On the waves of technological trends
Artificial intelligence, automation, the Internet of Things, cloud services, and electronic invoicing are just a few of the services that companies can use to gain a competitive advantage. However, off-the-shelf solutions are not enough for integration, which is why companies invest in customized software.
However, proprietary company software requires comprehensive management and maintenance. An IT agency will create a system that adapts to the company. However, the implementation of changes and innovations cannot be done without the intervention of programmers and developers. But small and medium-sized companies cannot afford them.
When is external management of company software worthwhile?
Large companies benefit from having their own IT department. However, our comparison shows that this is an unsustainable cost for small and medium-sized companies. One IT employee costs a company an average of CZK 100,000 per month – not including hidden costs for training, sick leave, and more.
Company software management ensures sufficient capacity and expertise and relieves entrepreneurs of the costs of license management. For small and medium-sized companies, this is a viable solution that allows them to stay on track and keep pace with the competition.
