Why Customised Software Solutions Are the Better Answer to Digital Complexity

SaaS Has Enabled a Lot – But It’s No Longer Enough

Satya Nadella has said it: "SaaS is dead."

 

Admittedly – a bit of an exaggeration. But the core message is true: standard software is reaching its limits

Too rigid. Too inflexible. Too little differentiation.

 

Because modern digital processes can no longer simply be squeezed into ready-made tools. 
 

If you want to differentiate yourself through technology, you need more than admin dashboards and licence models.

What Today’s Businesses Really Need

You don't need software with functions that you never use. You need solutions that adapt to your organisation – not the other way around.

 

In concrete terms, this means:

  • Intelligent automation instead of copy-paste
  • Scalability from day 1
  • AI as an integrated component – not as an add-on
  • Full control over interfaces, data models and business logic

Why Standard SaaS Is Slowing You Down – And What Truly Accelerates You

Three typical problems with SaaS tools:

  1. Feature queues instead of real innovation
  2. Technical limitations due to closed systems
  3. Dependence on updates and roadmaps from other providers

 

What "scalable architecture" really means:

Modular, headless-based systems with open API architecture enable maximum flexibility – whether in commerce, CRM, PIM or product configurators.

Custom Software = Custom Advantage

Customised software is not a luxury product – it's a real business lever. You build exactly the solution that your business model requires. No compromise, no workaround, no hack.
