Changes require flexible IT systems

When you hold a hammer, all problems look like nails. In a world undergoing constant change, it is important to have a tool that can adapt and grow with global challenges. Imagine if your IT system could adapt just as quickly as your changing surroundings; just as quickly as you acquire new brands and sub-brands, new processes and competitors, who challenge you from an unexpected quarter.

With a truly flexible system you can carry out the smallest changes at a moment’s notice and a new process can be implemented in the space of a few days. This means that the system is ready when you are – and not long time afterwards.

What is configurability?

The flexibility of a system is determined by the degree of configurability. If you have to call the supplier and they need a week to program a small change, then the system is not configurable. If you can carry out significant changes yourself after a few days’ training without being IT experts, the system is highly configurable.

Encode is a truly configurable system, enabling users to carry out changes and “adapt and expand” simply by configuring. Many advertising agencies and marketing departments are already benefiting from their early decision to use the system and the ability to continually adapt the system to their particular challenges.
