WHY DAYWORKS, INC
DayWorks is the first company to specialize in providing targeted services towards internally developed applications. With a breadth of skills and experience in working with custom software and a team of qualified staff, DayWorks is able to mitigate an immediate IT crisis by providing ‘in-the-moment’ support or help you plan for long range support.
DayWorks, Inc. provides support, development and consulting services for internally developed applications (IDAs). Founder Ian Day coined the phrase to include all custom proprietary applications and integrations, and this concept is our central focus.
IDAs are often quickly designed and built, sometimes without the knowledge of IT leadership, to solve issues and meet company needs. These “quick fixes” are more common than you think and offer many benefits that, with continued use and improvement, easily become integral parts of your organization’s application infrastructure.
As long as the IDA developer remains inhouse, there is always internal support. The trouble comes when the design knowledge leaves with the knowledge worker who built it. It is estimated that on average only one week is given to the task of documenting and passing on knowledge of an Internally Developed Application, and approximately 30% of the critical knowledge is transferred.
In Day’s words, companies unnecessarily shelve or replace entire systems when there is no one left to maintain them- a costly and avoidable endeavor that can be avoided by retaining DayWorks, Inc.
“There are many benefits that come from a custom developed application, including providing unrivaled competitive advantages,” Day explains. “Custom applications also serve as stepping stones to larger, more sophisticated systems as organizations follow their path to process maturity.”
The level of expertise at DayWorks, Inc. allows their specialists to step into the middle of a crisis with no existing knowledge of custom software applications and diagnose and provide solutions. The best-case scenario is when businesses bring in DayWorks, Inc. before a crisis, essentially planning for the mitigation of IT disruptions before they happen.
Our mission is to help companies leverage their Internally Developed Applications to avoid costly and catastrophic IT disruptions and secure a competitive advantage. Whether you want to map, maintain and troubleshoot existing custom software solutions and integrations, or design, build and document new IDAs, DayWorks, Inc. is worth the call.
At DayWorks, Inc., we strive to anticipate solutions to the inevitable disruption that hasn’t happened yet. Contact DayWorks, Inc. today
