First, give conclusions that can be used for decision-making
The selection criteria are not whether the interface can be modified, but whether the system boundaries will be able to satisfy the business of the next two to three years. The template product is usually centrally hosted by the platform and suitable for standard scenarios such as displays, appointments, malls, etc.; custom development can be designed around enterprise processes, backstages, and interfaces, but requires higher construction and maintenance costs. It can also be combined with mature products, with interfaces, without the need to choose between a pure template and a full zero.
What conditions need to be identified before judgement is made?
The same question may have different answers under different business, data and project phases. It is suggested that the following conditions be checked and that the common findings on the web be incorporated into their own projects.
Suggested order of advance
First, we'll be clear about the target and the border.
The candidate template is tested using a real commodity, order or appointment process.
Validation Key Dependence
Lists the functions that must be functional, compromiseable and extended over time.
Development of assessable outcomes
Compare the cost of subscription, customization, maintenance and migration over three years.
Make sure you decide the next step with the real results.
Write data, interfaces, source code and exit mode into the contract.
How do you understand it in the actual business?
Small door stores can be quickly online with a mature template, with a product display and a shop appointment; if Headquarters also has to synchronize inventory, membership and financial write-offs, the platform interface is limited to a long-term bottleneck. First, the most complex process is validated, and is more of a judgemental value than looking at the template display page.
The easiest pit to step on.
First year prices only, no plugins, transactions and continuation fees are calculated
Considers that page change is the same as full source code
Core data cannot be exported in bulk and subsequently bound by the platform
How should we end up receiving and confirming?
The selection findings should include key process validation, interface and data capabilities, privileges and security, brand customization, ongoing costs and exit options.
When preparing to communicate with suppliers or internal teams, it is recommended that current processes, representative samples, existing systems, planning time and budget levels be brought. First, the unknown items are clearly marked, and then the decision is made to use diagnostics, PoC, fixed-range projects or ongoing research and development, which is usually more reliable than a direct demand for a price and duration without borders.
