Choose the right platform the first time and save money on both development and operations
There is never one single right platform or one right way to do things when it comes to digital solutions.
The risk of choosing a disproportionately large solution just to be sure you “can do it all” is that you end up paying a fortune for features your company will never use. This undermines a good business case.
Conversely, a too narrow or small solution can hinder innovation and the implementation of new features if the platform cannot be customized or integrated with other systems.
Our experience shows that many companies struggle to map their needs and match them with the various solutions on the market. At PicoPublish, we help you benchmark and identify the platform(s) that fit your needs, so you can fulfill your ambitions without paying too much or too little.
The consequences of choosing the wrong platform can be costly lessons
Unless you operate according to MACH principles - where dependencies on individual platforms are minimized through the use of microservices - a poor platform choice can have significant consequences, big or small.
Many platforms, such as Umbraco and DynamicWeb, offer not only CMS functionality but also optional modules like ecommerce, PIM, and DAM. On the surface, it can be a good decision to “put all your eggs in one basket,” since the features provided by the same system typically integrate well from the start.
The downside is that your needs may change unexpectedly, leaving you with a platform that is either too large or too limited and cannot be customized to your requirements. This may force you to implement costly integrations, where the development expenses far exceed the value created by these integrations.
By leveraging our collective experience from developing and managing numerous platforms, we can help you avoid the biggest risks when evaluating new systems and platforms.
