Liu Feng, Marketing Director of Huatian Power
ERP and collaboration software are two main application points in the new wave of enterprise informatization with software application as the core. Collaboration software aims to solve the integration of enterprise resources and systems, focusing on the standardization of enterprise management and the improvement of work efficiency. Undoubtedly, collaborative software has a very broad application prospect, but the collaborative software market is not Ma Pingchuan, so it can be said that it is full of variables. So, what are the key factors that determine the success or failure of collaborative software?
1, collaborative software is close to management consulting.
Collaboration software, in essence, is an important means to solve internal management problems and improve internal management level. Therefore, collaborative software is not a simple application software, but an application management software with profound management ideas. Goals determine behavior, and combining the implementation of collaborative software with management consulting is an important prerequisite for collaborative software to have a bright future.
The management thought embodied in the software is the soul of collaboration software, and collaboration software without management thought is passive water. If collaborative software vendors want to develop high-quality collaborative software products, they must have super management consulting ability and can provide customers with powerful process optimization and process reengineering. Injecting advanced management ideas into collaborative software will greatly improve the office efficiency of enterprises and enhance the market competitiveness of software products.
One of the main signs to measure the quality of a set of collaborative software is whether the software has a deep understanding of management and is suitable for the process reengineering of existing enterprises.
2. Software is a service.
In foreign countries, the view that selling software is selling services has been widely recognized, and foreign software manufacturers mainly make profits by charging service fees. In China, it is obviously unrealistic for collaborative software vendors to rely on service fees to survive. But the core of selling software is selling services, which is the inherent essence of collaborative software, but it has not changed. At present, service capability is the "short board" in the cooperative software bucket. In order to survive in the fierce market competition, many enterprises often ignore the cultivation of their own team service quality and the construction of enterprise service ability.
Service ability is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1) Can you provide enough management consultation for customers?
2) Can you provide customers with effective implementation suggestions?
3) Is the product update speed and upgrade fast?
4) Can you quickly transform many abstract requirements into your own products?
5) Service cycle and quality of service personnel.
When the concept of "software as a service" gradually becomes the spiritual master of the software industry, the "short-sighted behavior" of many collaborative software on the market is doomed to be eliminated. The service of software is equal to the hope of software; Equal to the future market; It is equal to mastering the initiative of the market.
3. The leading technical framework allows you to stay one step ahead.
The system function of software is not only the coat of product, but also the practical application of product. However, the quality of this "coat" depends on its "texture", that is, the technical framework of the product. Whether the technical framework is leading or not directly reflects the comprehensive technical strength of collaborative software vendors. When the business of an enterprise continues to deepen and refine, it is necessary to build a good technical framework for software in order to enrich the functions of products and make products have better and higher development space. The technical architecture of software products is a "basic project" and a guarantee for the upward expansion of software.
The technical architecture of software has a great influence on the security, expansibility, stability and usability of software products. Different technical architectures determine the different positioning and development space of software. With the establishment of technical architecture, the basic fate of software product application and development has taken shape. It can even be said that the leading of technical architecture is the leading of ideas; Refers to leading technology; It means being ahead of the market.
Advanced technology architecture will enable the development company to save cost and time, thus surpassing its competitors. Software with poor technical architecture will be hurt every time new functions are added, and a lot of development power will be invested, which will inevitably tend to be weak in product competition. If you don't go in, someone else will, and the fast fish will eat the slow fish. This is the law of the market. Therefore, whether the software architecture is advanced or not is a question of making fast fish or slow fish.
4. Details determine success or failure
There are thousands of vendors of collaborative software. If you want to stand out among the many vendors of collaborative software and establish a leading position in the industry. We should not only accurately locate the strategic development of enterprise management consulting, service and technical architecture, but also work hard on the details.
On the surface, the functional modules of collaborative software are similar, but the difference lies in the depth of software vendors' exploration of software details. Many users can't really use the software after buying it. The fundamental reason is that the details of collaborative software are not handled in place. Details determine success or failure is not a new slogan in collaborative software, but it is an important factor to determine product quality. A slight flaw or deficiency in the software is enough to put the software you bought on the shelf.
The importance of software details is essentially the degree to which software embodies the granularity of management ideas. If you want to manage some things more carefully, the workload will be several times worse, which is a bit different from similar servers and PCs. On the surface, PC has all the functions of the server, and the price difference is several times. Can a PC be equated with a server? Is that really the case?
There are workflows in collaboration software. Let's take a simple workflow example to see the details of collaborative software:
1) Whether there is a function of customizing forms, not only documents and EXCEL are defined, because forms based on documents cannot be queried by domain;
2) Whether there is a conditional flow in the workflow can determine the next flow according to the conditions specified in the form;
3) Whether there is an agency function, when someone is absent, you can entrust someone else to handle this matter;
4) Whether there is an automatic statistical function, the approved forms can be automatically statistically analyzed;
5) Is there a customized schedule? Most forms in enterprises are timetables, not simple forms like leave forms;
6) Whether different people can see different forms in circulation.
7) The enterprise is large and can be examined and approved according to the post.
8) Can you automatically find someone's superior leader, the superior leader of the superior leader. In this way, a common process can be established for the whole company.
9) Whether overdue approval can be automatically notified and customized.
Each of these small functions looks unremarkable, but if any of them can't be realized, the flow of this process will become very difficult, and even make this process a dead process, or it has no practical significance. The management breakthrough that was originally intended to be achieved through collaborative software turned into a bubble.
The reality is that the domestic mainstream collaboration software can completely realize the above basic functions, and there will never be more than ten models. Therefore, the influence of detail handling on software products is very obvious, and an error of 1% will lead to a failure of 100%.
5. The ability of collaborative software to change on demand.
As mentioned above, collaborative software essentially solves the problem of management, and the problem of management will not remain unchanged. Today is to solve the problem of information sharing, tomorrow is to solve the problem of enterprise process, and the day after tomorrow is to solve the problems of knowledge accumulation, knowledge sharing, performance and task management.
At different stages, different periods, the purpose of enterprise management is different, and the demand for collaboration software is also different. Enterprises don't change collaboration software frequently, so to test whether a set of collaboration software is excellent and competitive in the market depends not only on whether the collaboration software can meet the existing demand, but also on whether it can meet the future demand.
Some of these future needs are foreseeable, such as performance, tasks, processes and CRM, but more future user needs are unpredictable. A good collaborative software system has strong demand adaptability, that is, the software has strong expansibility and can be dynamically adjusted to meet the unknown needs of most users.
The "on-demand adaptability" of collaborative software depends on the depth of thought of software designers and the technical framework of products. The concept of SOA recently promoted by IBM solves the core problem of "on-demand adaptability" of software, and the three-layer magic model architecture of Huatian Power mainly solves the "on-demand adaptability" of collaborative software. "The ability to respond to demands" is the embodiment of a corporate vision. Only by standing higher and seeing farther can we be invincible in the future market competition.
In the market competition of survival of the fittest, it is an inevitable process for the collaborative software market to move from the current chaos to stability and peace. There is no doubt that the product concentration of collaborative software market is close to professional brands, and a large number of software vendors with less comprehensive strength will be ruthlessly eliminated. Huatian electric power collaborative office system has been grinding a sword for five years, and finally the latecomers have come to the fore. Leading in management concept, product research and development, technical architecture, after-sales service, detail handling, etc., Huatian Power will shoulder the heavy responsibility of collaboration and hold high the banner of collaboration to become the main force in the new wave of informationization.

Why choose our products?
Choosing Huatian Power OA can not only help enterprises to realize E-office in a short time, help employees improve office efficiency, but also enhance the competitiveness of enterprises in the same industry. It can be said that it is the best partner of enterprises on the road of informatization.
Choosing ordinary OA software products, even if the service promised verbally is no matter how good, it is difficult to guarantee whether it can be fulfilled after a specific time. Huatian Software has been a trustworthy manufacturer among domestic OA manufacturers at present, and Huatian Power has also left a good brand image and reputation in the market. It can be said that Huatian Software is a stable and reliable OA software manufacturer.
At present, due to the disorder of the domestic OA software market, some small companies naturally launch products similar to Huatian software, claiming that the functions and use effects are similar, achieving the effect of enjoying the cool under the big tree. However, after the actual implementation, it will be found that the same function name on the surface does not mean the same actual use effect. Huatian Software's excellent products based on years of research and development have forged an insurmountable threshold, which is also the essence that other software manufacturers can only resemble each other but not resemble each other.
The software products of Huatian Power OA are by no means dozens of functions claimed by other non-professional manufacturers, but there are actually about ten really useful functions, most of which are superficial and have nothing to do with the realization of enterprise informatization and the improvement of enterprise office efficiency. Huatian electric power OA software takes practicality as the center. Although there are only 23 highly praised modules, they are all real things, and there is nothing fancy. This is the integrity of Huatian software, but also the specific characteristics of Huatian software practicality. It only serves practical functions, not flashy functions. In that case, it is not only the pain of implementing enterprises, but also the difficulty of software maintenance and upgrading.
Price war, the usual shopping method of domestic products.
To put it mildly, it is a prosperous stage for domestic OA manufacturers to let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend. To put it bluntly, OA manufacturers are mixed, with various grades. Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of shopping around. When individual software manufacturers' own products are not competitive enough in the market, they will depress the prices of their own products, occupy the market with price wars and increase their market share.
In order to cope with the price war, individual manufacturers make up for their lack of price reduction through the lack of function or after-sales service, and even are not responsible for maintenance and update after purchasing products. Without a perfect after-sales system, it is dangerous to software products and potentially dangerous to the process of enterprise informatization.
Huatian Software has perfected its five-star service while seeing its competitors lost in the service. Strive to surpass the imagination of users not only in the function of products, but also in the service to customers. Aim high, accumulate a lot, which is also the secret that Huatian Software can come from behind and stand out from the rest.
The price is transparent, honest and trustworthy.
Many software products seem cheap, but in fact there are many hidden costs that have not been calculated. Only after the specific implementation, or after the product update, will it gradually appear. When purchasing software, you need to purchase related servers and suites to run normally, or package them with other high-priced products for sale. This invisibly increases the cost of project implementation, which often only appears in the second half of the year. Relatively speaking, Huatian Software's product quotation is open, transparent, objective and true, which completely abandons the problem of hidden costs after quotation, and lists in detail the advantages of each version, applicable enterprises and reasonable suggestions for relevant configuration.
