Software should enable companies to make more money while spending less. These results are achieved through the careful analysis of what a company actually needs while trying to eliminate things that aren't likely to have an acceptable return on investment. Understanding the business rules, communicating with users in plain English, and understanding where a business is in the growth cycle all contribute to better and more economical solutions.
 
Most companies began by putting their business rules in an Excel spreadsheet. It may be as simple as keeping customer information and updating changes as they occur. As a company grows, more complex rules are added and more users have access and make changes. At some point in time, mistakes are made, existing data is overwritten, and the frustration level starts to increase. What used to work is now costing time and money.
 
Information is vital and this information needs to be readily accessible, easy to work with, and retain history. Migrating your business rules to either a Windows or Web-based application using good technologies such as the .NET Framework and Microsoft SQL Server allow you to focus on your business growth and spend less time on routine chores.
