Our Vision
Netformx’s vision is to consolidate the many tools used by solutions companies into a “one-stop” solution, which reduces the handoffs and data re-entry across different applications. Such a solution facilitates collaboration across different individuals and ensures continuity in the solutions management workflows. Our goal is to effectively and efficiently streamline the increasing number of variables involved in the design, sale and implementation of complex ICT solutions.
Information and Communications Technology Market
The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) category encompasses products found in IT, networking and telecommunications. Enterprises are leveraging ICT to improve their ability to conduct business and their bottom line. Current trends include a shift to “green” computing resources to reduce energy costs, improved ability to extend services to remote workers, and utilizing cloud-based services to optimize upfront infrastructure investments.
The ICT space is comprised of multiple vendors and multiple product lines where solutions companies have to bring together best-of-breed products into solutions. Without the right level of automation and streamlined access to information this process can take a lot of time. Customers want to look at more proposals including “what if” scenarios and phased rollouts in an effort to maximize their budgets. This creates a situation where the volume of proposals and the speed at which solutions companies need to respond has increased while the design complexity has also amplified. This introduces a higher potential for errors, which negatively impact a customer’s trust in their solutions company. Netformx continues to address these many concerns by delivering a suite of offerings to accelerate the requirements-to-order process.
ICT solutions designed with Netformx solutions are sold across the globe to small businesses all the way to Fortune 50 companies. As the requirements and products involved has grown more complex, enterprises are increasingly turning to their trusted partners who design, implement and even manage ICT solutions. These trusted partners compete to win business by offering a more personalized experience by designing to customer needs.
Requirements-to-Order Challenges and Trends
Enterprise demands are increasing in complexity, as customers want to leverage technologies to improve productivity and their ability to conduct business. Trusted partners who want to secure enterprise customers need to demonstrate the ability to capture a customer’s requirements and turn them into deployable solutions. Solution designs involve multiple products and, increasingly, multi-vendor offerings. The speed and accuracy by which these trusted partners deliver designs and solutions is defining who wins the hearts and minds of customers.
The requirements-to-order process addresses the workflows for a solutions company to map customer requirements to specific products and create a validated architecture. This process has become more complex and involves an increasing number of steps as customers what to explore different options. Solutions companies face the challenge of balancing growing demand for proposals with increasingly complicated products to meet these demands. Empowering solutions companies with access to product catalogs, design rules and up-to-date pricing impacts how fast they can propose solutions to their customer’s requirements.
