FUTURE FORWARD DESIGN & SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
UIC - UNIQUE METHODOLOGY
THE COMMON PROBLEM FACED:
Those looking to grow and differentiate their organisations face a common problem: Generalisation.
If a business model. system, architecture if too generalised, then it will lack the ability to cope.
Generalisation is a coping mechanism that the majority of the population resort to applying. Generalisation does not solve problems.
The opposite to generalisation is "customisation". Customisation create flexibility. The ability to respond fast to unique circumstances and provide a better user experience that produces superior results.
But how do we customise your operation, but still get it to fit and work well with others? In taking on others get then to recognise the lead that you provide? Thats where our UIC architecture provides the solution.
WHAT IS UIC:
UIC is a methodology approach developed by Lumenabra, towards the design and architecture of projects, software, industry relationships, products, reporting and other areas, through creating the best from specialist case management.
UIC stands for: Unified Independent Customisation. Organisations maintain different identities, which need to be conserved, however must operate together with partners and competitors alike. How do they get fast and reliable information that is data driven? The answer lies in UIC, with the creation of a highly customised application with significant cost advantages, user inter-operability, and building growth into the proprietary financial stock of the organisation for greater value.
In a world where organisations are required to maintain a level of independence, to leverage of their competitive strengths; but seek to work in a unified manner with partners, and to a degree even competitors, UIC solves a number of problems when it comes to the multitude of challenges faced in this.
WHAT DOES UIC ENABLE:
UIC enables a faster, more efficient and large flow of information, made accessible through means such as software architecture and real time collaboration as examples. UIC also enables faster workflows, and thus makes the creation of results faster and more pliable from an "nth" number of layers of people, work platforms, collaborators, workgroups, industry partners and more.
Due to there being better and more affordable programming technology to develop systems and with the advances in internet and cloud computing UIC solves a number of problems.
WHAT DOES UIC ACHIEVE:
UIC allows for better problem solving, scenario anticipation, case mining, productivity, throughput, efficiency, collaborative brain power, and the availability of information and ideas among workgroups.
For example companies that are turning their employees into independent operators, to work as contractors, yet still within the host framework of the organisation, so that efficiency and competitiveness is maximised would benefit greatly from UIC.
Even a small business aiming to purchase better, or experience a better conversion rate will require UIC to be adopted into its working methods.
WHY INCORPORATE UIC ARCHITECTURE INTO YOUR OPERATIONS?:
Applying UIC into your organisations field of operations will enable it to quicker adapt to change, adopt the latest methods of work fast modes, improve throughput velocities, and most of all enhance the organisational culture.
UIC also revolves centrally around developing your organisations own proprietary customised software to carry out meeting operational goals, defined by benchmarking against industry and competitors.
HOW UIC METHODOLOGY IS IMPLEMENTED:
Customised CRM is better suited for an organisation with its own unique methods. The organisation is not restricted by any form of rigidity in the software provided by 3rd party generic CRM applications. Highly customisable CRM applications give more flexibility, durability and reach. Also allowing the field of operations to be highly tensile and durable to change and adapt quickly, thus keeping the organisation more competitive.
In addition to Salesforce automation, customised CRM makes any marketing that the organisation wishes to carry out more effective and responsive at the control of the leadership team in charge.
Customised CRM also results in more fine tuned Analytical capabilities for the organisation. Leaders can make better decisions; engage in more flexible data mining, correlation assessments and pattern recognitions to mention a few benefits towards the analysis of customer data.
THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF UIC:
1. COST SAVINGS: In the long term [anywhere from 2 years time], UIC will lower operating expenditure by as much as 35%. UIC will increase the formidability of discretionary spending by as much as 70% and reduce fixed expenses by as much as 25%. In addition an organisation is faced with much lesser hardware costs; for example there will be no need to run ones own servers which as costly to setup and maintain, and also become redundant very quickly, as most is done through virtual computing and exchange through the cloud.
2. SPEED: UIC will speed up business cycles and churn by as much as 60%. It allows for more effective automation, which eliminates delays, logistical problems, and other productivity issues. For example inventory management, product pricing development, metrics, and analytics for real time collaboration and other important elements and better managed, streamlined and made more efficient through cloud based SAAS.
3. ACCURACY: Aside from inefficiency, and added costs, manual methods are also highly prone to error, and can end up in redundancies, loss, or unexpected changes, leading to negative cycles. This is relevant from instances such as meetings, to production methods, product development, customer handling, training and more areas, as examples.
4. BUSINESS EFFICIENCY: Since human error, system delays, and mis-timing is minimised, organisations can benefit from increased levels of efficiency. In addition rather than focussing on menial and tedious activities, operators can devote time and attention to more important value-adding tasks. UIC can also improve the passing of information in a number of ways. This can be as simple as getting product pricing options and quotes delivered instantaneously as an example, to close a deal. In addition the architecture in systems delivered through UIC methodology will significantly benefit and organisations customer and trading partner relationship management because of the faster relays of information, processes, throughput velocities, and supply of goods and services.
5. SECURITY: UIC enhances security of information, transactions, and exchange through a wide variety of communication protocols and security standards through the latest that todays technology has to offer.
6. MORE OPPORTUNITY: UIC based implementation can allow smaller businesses to trade better with larger businesses, and also to make their trading more easily scalable. UIC would have a stronger impact on other areas such a marketing, conversions, building trust and creating more credibility.
7. UNIFORMITY & TRANSFER: UIC architecture into the adaptation into new systems, gives the organisation better uniformity, and makes it easier to carry out intellectual technology transfer or information, which is beneficial for training, metrics, and analytics to make better decisions based on case material and not just opinion.
SOME OF THE CHALLENGES OF ADOPTING UIC:
1. CHANGE: In some cases the organisation may find it difficult to adopt or implement the change needed to adapt to the marketplace, and be more competitive. This could be for a number of reasons such as a very entrenched culture, and willingness to change.
2. EXPENSE: Although UIC offer's substantial cost savings over the long term, for smaller businesses re-training, redevelopment and implementation of new software to integrate the rollout of UIC architecture and new systems can be a little expensive at the onset. But operators are purchasing an "Income producing asset". Unlike other systems that are known to be liabilities in the world of SAAS.
3. TOO MANY STANDARDS: Some organisations may find UIC to have too many standards, which once again could be difficult to integrate especially with previous elements of organisational culture.
4. INITIAL SETUP: The initial setup, analysis and adoption into a customised framework for rollout into the organisation is time consuming, and can also require additional infrastructure to be created.
5. CYBER THREATS: UIC requires a heavy investment and setup of electronic architecture, computing, and devices, which can be prone to cyber threats such as hacking, malware and viruses.
FINANCIAL VALUE & GROWING THROUGH UIC:
UIC offers a host of standards for an organisation that aims to be dominant, yet integrate with its environment in the B2B world.
Better still UIC once adopted makes an organisation even more independently unique in a number of ways, yet still experiencing a high level of inter-operability with others.
Since the organisation also has its own proprietary software as a result UIC adaptation, it can also experience higher multiples of valuations in financial principles. Thus the increase in net present value is one of the best growth factors, as the organisation is building itself externally and not taking any of its operations, data, or information to other 3rd parties to hold, or in a manner which that 3rd party grows as a result, instead of the organisation that is supposed to possess the data [such as database, or methodology].
