Risk Reduction
The
Connect Partnership is highly risk averse when it comes to its
customers' businesses and this is based on three core beliefs founded
on many years experience.
1). The belief that businesses today cannot afford high risk exposure to niche,
point solution, software products from under-capitalised software
vendors who may not be in business in a few years time.
iSTAMP
therefore uses only mature
industrial strength software from our enterprise partners with true
365x7x24 support centres, who will still be in business, and still
providing support, in the years ahead.
2). The belief that ‘big
bang’ implementations are rarely successful and create high risk business exposures.
iSTAMP avoids this risk by supporting phased implementations where business functionality
is introduced incrementally both top-down and bottom-up.

This allows a
coherent long term strategy to be introduced in a series of small
tactical steps.
3). The belief that needlessly replacing applications in the endless search for a 'magic bullet' solution creates major risks of business service interruptions.
iSTAMP
supports re-use
of the installed base of business applications, which is both low
risk,and budget conscious. Business applications from essentially any
source
can be combined using iSTAMP
to create complete business solutions. The chosen applications may
be:
- Industry
standard products,
market leading software packages, including the iSTAMP solutions.
- In-house
systems and services,
corporate legacy and custom built applications.
- External
services,
out-sourcers, web services, data providers and Software As A Service
(SAAS).
