Tailored Solutions

SOFTimpact Software Development Service are the activities concerning the development of the maritime specific packaged solution Seanique, the customization of standard products and the development of completely individual solutions for specific customers.
SOFTimpact Software Development Service acknowledges the fact, that no two companies operate the same and that a company should no bend to its IT solutions restrictions, if the existing modus operandi adds to the business of the company. Therefore SOFTimpact suggests using existing and proven technology like Oracle and Dynamics AX to cover 80% of the customer’s requirements and to customize the last 20% within the standard software. This way SOFTimpact achieves both cost minimization and optimal feature integration. If the specific customer requirements are so unique, that the coverage by standard software is much below 80%, then customization is not cost effective anymore. In these cases SOFTimpact recommends the development of a completely new solution.

  • Requirement Analysis

  • Customization of existing Baan or Dynamics Ax ERP installations
  • Development of custom specific add-ons
  • Development of industry specific vertical solutions based on Dynamics Ax

Typical development activities

Customization & Development of Seanique
Seanique offers extensive options to configure the system exactly to a specific customers needs. All of these options do not require any development skills. But still sometimes configuring Seanique is not enough to fulfill customer requirements. Examples are:
  • Additional data needs to be stored in existing entitiesExample:
  • The customer wants to store trouser sizes for each seafarer
  • Completely new entities need to be maintained
  • Example: Besides port agents the customer wants to store port authority data
  • A specific report is needed
  • Example: The customer wants a specific statistic analyzing seafarer sickness rates
  • Implemented business logic must be changed
  • Example: Planned SignOns must be confirmed in the future by authorized personnel only
  • New business logic is needed
  • Example: the system shall support comprehensive competence management
Many more example could be invented here. All of this and even more can be achieved by using the development environment, which is built into Seanique.

Please remember: The customer gets delivered the full sources to any part containing business logic. This way the customer can change existing functionality, write new functionality and even maintain the system in the future without help of the original vendor.
