Problem Identification #### How to Grow a Business Many businesses try to grow by adding more resources, but this can be costly since the extra revenue often just covers these new expenses so we help our customers minimize the need for extra resources by automating their business processes with robotic process automation software. - Solution Exploration #### How to Find the Right Solution Buying committees use information and data from procurement and acquisitions to make purchase decisions. Procurement focuses on sourcing and buying the necessary goods and services for production and customer delivery. Acquisitions handle more complex purchases, like buying entire companies. We help buying committees by clearly showcasing our products and services, making it easy to make decisions quickly. - Business Requirements #### How to Set the Business Requirements Business requirements are what a company needs to obtain the goods and services essential for its operations. These needs are identified by figuring out what's necessary, creating detailed plans, finding suppliers, negotiating deals, and managing relationships. We help buying committees understand what they can expect from solution providers and what can be accomplished by using our solutions. - Solution Provider Selection #### How to Select the Solution Provider Choosing the right solution provider is essential for aligning with your organization's needs and goals. This requires evaluating the supplier's capabilities and resources to ensure effective results. We assist buying committees in understanding our offerings and delivery methods. ![Hand with marker writing Boost Your Business](https://www.businessmadeagile.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SHUTTERSTOCK/Hand%20with%20marker%20writing%20Boost%20Your%20Business.jpeg?width=1000&height=667&name=Hand%20with%20marker%20writing%20Boost%20Your%20Business.jpeg) ## Purchase Decision Making a purchase decision for your business can be challenging. We provide the information and guidance you need to choose the right product or service. Once decided, we ensure a quick and efficient purchasing and implementation process to save you time and effort. #### Strategy Call & Demo Book a strategy call to define your goals for investing in software solutions. We'll arrange a software demo for you, your team, and your decision makers, if needed. #### Proposal & Agreement Now that we understand your system requirements, you can ask for a proposal. We'll create the proposal and service agreements for your purchase team to review. #### Initiate & Customize Once the initial payment is made, we begin initiating and customizing your new system. Before launching, we handle data migration and provide user training.

We make it easy to minimize the time it takes to install, set up, and customize software, as well as learn, maintain, upgrade, and resolve issues, when needed. - Install ### Software Service Installation Software service installation is the process of deploying and configuring software applications that are delivered via wireless data networks as a software service, rather than being installed locally on a user's device. At Business Made Agile, we know how much time it takes to install software so we make it easy for you and take care of the software installation for you. - Setup ### Software Service Setup Setting up a software service involves configuring a software application to run as a background process, accessible to other applications and services. At Business Made Agile we have set up software services so we know to do it right. Why spend time learning to do it by yourself? Let us do it for you! - Customize ### Customized Software Service To customize a software service, we first need to identify and understand buyer's specific needs and requirements and then select the right customization method or approach based on your technical expertise and the available options. At Business Made Agile, we collaborate with software companies to build custom features, integrate with other systems, or adapt existing software. - Onboarding ### Onboarding Software Users Software onboarding involves integrating people into using a software service, ensuring they understand its value and how to use it effectively. At Business Made Agile we know how important the adoption of new software solutions is so we develop various methods, including self-service tools, guided walkthroughs, or dedicated onboarding programs for new users. The goal is to accelerate learning, increase adoption, and ultimately, boost user satisfaction and retention. - Interface ### Software User Interface A software service user interface (UI) is the point of interaction between a user and a software application, encompassing how the user sees and interacts with the software. It includes visual elements like icons, buttons, menus, and text, as well as the overall design and layout of the application. At Business Made Agile, we help software companies design, develop and improve user interfaces to make it easy for our customers to use software. - Maintain ### Software Service Maintenance Software service maintenance involves ongoing activities to ensure software functions properly, remains current, and meets user needs after its initial release. This includes fixing bugs, improving performance, adapting to new technologies, and incorporating user feedback. At Business Made Agile we collect customer feedback and support requests and forward them to software companies if we can't find solutions locally. - Upgrade Software Upgrades A software service upgrades, often referred to as an in-service software upgrade (ISSU), involves updating a device's software while it continues to provide service, minimizing downtime. ISSU allows for software upgrades without disrupting network traffic, enabling network administrators to avoid service interruptions during upgrades. At Business Made Agile, we collect feedback and improvement ideas to help software companies to delver better software services in the future. - Resolve issues How to Resolve Issues? To effectively resolve software service issues, we follow a systematic approach: First, clearly define the problem and its impact. Then, try basic troubleshooting steps like refreshing web browsers or restarting the device. If the issue persists, we check for software updates, ensure compatibility with your operating system, and investigate potential software conflicts. If needed, consult online resources, IT support, or consider reinstalling the mobile apps, for example. - Discontinue ### Discontinuation When a software service ends, the customer stops using and subscribing to it. The software vendor will export the customer's data, provide it to them, and help transfer it to another system. ![SAAS - Software-as-a-Service - Written on Blue Puzzle Pieces.
