Cost Reduction
Most likely your company is not in the business of bookkeeping, generating paperwork, and managing departments and people. You have a core competency that differentiates you from your competitors. So why are you spending so much money doing other things?
Have you taken the time to calculate how long it takes your company to process an order? How long it takes to generate the paperwork associated with purchasing items, shipping or receiving? How long does it take your company to generate sales reports, identify trends or find information from six months ago?
Fundamentally Allaris accomplishes two things:
- Allaris allows you to enter information quickly and easily (e.g. Sales / Purchase Orders).
- Allaris allows you to access information quickly and easily.
Stop wasting time performing tasks that don’t make you money.
Revenue Growth
Capacity limitations are the number one reason for stagnant profit growth in small to medium sized businesses. With limited employees, limited time and limited cash many companies simply hit a brick wall in terms of their ability to generate more profit.
By improving your company’s inefficiencies and eliminating redundancies, Allaris creates an exciting opportunity for your organization. The time resources have saved by using Allaris can be used for other tasks that contribute to revenue. Alternatively, you can maintain your revenue but at a significantly lower cost, thus dramatically increasing profit margins.
Risk Mitigation
If your company has evaluated the myriad of software solutions that will manage your company and improve efficiencies, you have mostly likely found that prices for these solutions vary from tens of thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Most companies soon realize that they can not install these solutions themselves and need to contract with an integrator. Normally the cost of these types of implementations could be between twenty and one hundred thousand dollars.
In addition to the implementation cost are the costs of a server to run the solution and possible third party license fees. These additional costs could range between twenty and fifty thousand dollars.
The total cost to implement and go live with this type of solution could be in the range of one hundred to two hundred thousand dollars.
It is truly unfortunate that many companies travel down this very expensive road only to discover that the solution they implemented is not right for them. Without significant user/employee adoption, even the best software can easily become relegated to a glorified typewriter.
Allaris has developed a business model that takes Risk out of buying and implementing management software. With Allaris, there is no hardware to procure, no large up-front license fee, no per user fees, and no complex set-ups. Whether your company chooses the Allaris Hosted OnSite or OnDemand solution, a monthly subscription is all that you pay.
You can trust Allaris with your business data. Allaris sits on the local network in your office.
User Adoption
User adoption is the key element in the success of any business software implementation.
Drive user effectiveness to avoid:
- Outright rejection of the software
- User frustration and poor business results
- Increased burdens on your helpdesk and IT staff
Failure to achieve user adoption results in missed deadlines and compromised business performance. Ironically, because organizations are in such a hurry to realize bottom-line benefits, they cut critical corners ultimately jeopardizing their projects and delaying the very rewards they so urgently sought.
The pressure to demonstrate returns on software implementations has never been greater. Organizations are under pressure to quickly justify their software investments and are likely to fall into the same traps that doomed earlier projects to failure.
Employees have less time than ever for formalized learning but are expected to perform at high levels of proficiency and adapt to ever-changing requirements. Critical communications and measurement activities are relegated to the back burner. Meanwhile, users burn up valuable time, unaware of the techniques that could simplify their work and make it more productive.
The Allaris Communication and Information Management System was architected and designed with user adoption as one of its paramount success factors.
We have built a user-friendly and intuitive application that has been adopted by people in various industries and job functions and with various computer skills.
We believe that system training can help teach a user how to properly work with our software – but user training does not ensure user adoption.
The Allaris Adoption Management Program will teach targeted users about the benefits of Allaris and how it can be used on a daily basis to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their work.
By ensuring high adoption rates our customers have achieved outstanding ROIs with Allaris.
This white paper is intended to be an introduction to the Allaris Adoption Management Program.
