DANAOS Software: The difference between Industry-Tailored vs. Industry-Specific

DANAOS’s unmatched Maritime and Construction expertise has been a critical differentiator of our business strategy for the past 35+ years and is the cornerstone of our success.

Working with crème de la crème companies worldwide and consolidating knowledge and best practices from the industry’s specialized stakeholders, we manage to set and navigate to successful digital transformation pathways, assuring growth and business sustainability.

Acknowledging that Enterprise Vertical Software requires the right blend of technology and industry-specific knowledge, in DANAOS, we design and develop our software bottom-up based on specific business logic aligned with Maritime and Construcion operations, only. We call ourselves Specialists in a world of technology Generalists.

3 Statements for Reality Check!

Statement -1-

Generic ERP vendors claim they bring a rare combination of unmatched industry depth and breadth of business process solutions from all Industries.

Answer -1-

Vertical enterprise software like DANAOS has an industry-first approach that brings immediate value to customers by providing the required features and functionalities and integrated business processes. To put it simply: It speaks the language of the industry!

Statement -2-

ERP systems offer greater agility in their business processes, allowing integration between different modules and flexibility on the underlying core applications (user management, workflows, templating, APIs).

Answer -2-

In most cases, the outcome is “spaghetti applications” coupled as modules to serve the generic ERP’s technology agility with the required business ability constantly trying to align to the industry’s ever-changing requirements, eventually leading to the Paradox of Choice (aka Choice overload).

Statement -3-

Along with a global ecosystem of Value-Added resellers and consultants, prominent ERP vendors shorten the time-to-market and get solutions launched that harness best practices from several industries.

Answer -3-

Value-Added resellers, third-party add-ons, and consultants are obvious choices for increasing ERP vendors’ sales network but they can not compete with industry-specific software implemented and supported by subject-matter experts. The shortest path is not always the fastest.
