Systems Integration

This is the process of pulling together customised or off-the-shelf software data into a centralised area usually for the purposes of reporting or making informed business decisions.

JDM Software are the experts in systems integration with over 50+ years combined experience in integrating systems of various platforms. Even when developing new custom software, we often find that a "plug-in" or module that has been developed is integrated with the system to "tie" it all together.

Here are a few examples of our integration approaches:

• We recently joined a bulk fuel standalone system into MYOB and developed custom reporting from the data automatically fed into MYOB. Another simple but incredibly powerful tool for our client that has allowed their staff to make better use of their time following with account management and in turn increasing the profitability of the business with a short-term investment with us
• A large number of production plants wanted to feed real time information. We developed a web-service for the plants to allow them to pass the same data to a cloud-based server which validates and extracts the information and pushes the data into the head office so that the operations manager could make informed choices and watch the throughput with the information at their fingertips. Previously they required each plant to send in their production reports at the conclusion of the shift which was an obvious time-consuming process for all involved. A by-product of this process was that the business was able to save employing seven part-time data entry operators at peak times which is a significant and immediate ROI

Custom Software

As its name implies, Custom Software is about developing a stand-alone or suite of applications or modules that represent certain aspects or your entire business processes. The advantage of custom software over an off-the-shelf system is that the software is developed exactly matching the business and its associated hardware. There's no need for workarounds and there's only major goal with custom software: make your business more productive.

We have developed an application for just about every business type imaginable. The sensible approach to custom software is to start small, implement one or two small changes and then continue to build on these changes, all the while watching the business become more profitable from each implementation. Every client, and we really do mean every client has reported a gain in productivity through implementing custom development. You don't take your car to be serviced to become less economical. You service it to keep it running and running efficiently. That is the underlying principle of custom software development.

And in case you're wondering, yes Systems Integration is a form of Custom Software. The difference is that Systems Integration is about binding 2 of more systems that are usually in place. Custom Software is about developing a system for a specific need that is usually not available off-the-shelf, or the off-the-shelf product is not a perfect fit for the business. Both are aimed at increasing productivity.

Partnership Program

We like to think we have some of the best talent there is to offer in Australia when it comes to software development. So to back this up we walk-the-talk and develop our own software also.

JDM Software offers one of the most rare opportunities for entrepreneurial or innovative thinkers out there. It's pretty simple. If you have an idea that you think can capture a niche market or capitalise on an existing one we'd like to hear about as we may be the investors you are looking for!

We've done it before. We have a number of examples of our partnership program that are active and running successfully and would happily discuss with you examples of what is possible with a little imagination, planning and dedication.

So what's the catch? There isn't one really. You need to convince our board of your marketing and business plan and if we think it has potential we run with a prototype for you to take to the market. If that shows potential then it's up to us to make the magic happen at our own expense. We recoup our expenditure through a negotiated commission arrangement. We wear the risk, the costs and it's all discussed honestly and openly as we are in it for the long-term. You just need the drive and concept. That's why we call it our partnership program. Please give us a call to discuss you idea anytime.
