Value Proposition
In the world of commercial software solutions, there are two vastly different solution offerings - "Out-of-the-Box Solutions" and "Customized Solutions." Regardless of the solution type, organizations need to find a solution that helps them solve critical business problems, while achieving operational efficiency and competitive advantage. The challenge, however, is that both of these solution approaches present some challenges and potential limitations.

Out-of-the-Box Solutions often achieve high levels of operational efficiency. These systems usually offer significant functionality, limited customization capabilities, and typically can be implemented relatively quickly. Unfortunately, due to the static nature of the system design, users often struggle to enhance their competitive advantage or unique process differentiators. For the most part, any company using this type of product will typically be forced to conduct certain processes and functions exactly as the next company using this type of product, with virtually no differentiation or competitive advantage.

Customized Solutions often maintain the exact opposite characteristics of the "Out-of-the-Box Solution." Systems can be designed to achieve complete customization, thus maintaining or enhancing uniqueness or competitive advantage. Unfortunately, this customization often results in long implementation times, significant reliance on the vendor for future modifications, and significant time and costs associated with upgrades of software and/or technology.

The SAPPHIRE™ value proposition offers the best of both worlds. SAPPHIRE™ has been designed with a rich foundation of pertinent functionality, along with easy to use configuration capabilities that allow SAPPHIRE™ to map to your unique process requirements, as well as rapidly adapt to changing needs. The benefits of this approach are significant, as they all help to achieve maximum success while minimizing risk. User acceptance is enhanced, competitive advantage can be maintained or enhanced, all customer specific configurations continue to function following software upgrades, customers are empowered to extend / configure, and useful life of investment is maximized.
