Enterprises need apps that can speed things up

A software company came up with something they called quick check-in. It wasn’t fast enough. Quick check-in using the system took hours. “It took four or five screens,” says Carson Dean, Director, South Wilmington Street Center (SWSC). “We needed something like two screens.” The system was redesigned so that it took only two steps. SWSC says that it has saved them time and money.

The above is from CIO December 1, 2005. It demonstrates three things:
  • Even a not-for-profit organization such as SWSC demanded QUICK TASK COMPLETION from their software vendor — the value PCD delivers
  • The way the demand was met was by reducing the number of steps and screens — one of the ways PCD achieves it (Guess what the other way is?)
  • The result is saving of not just time, but MONEY — this is often true with what we call productivity-critical applications.
