La hecha para ti promete el 100% y, si el alcance no est\u00e1 escrito, cobra dos veces. La decisi\u00f3n no es \"moderno o antiguo\". Es qu\u00e9 parte de tu mes no cabe en un producto que ya existe.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the standard solve?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A process many people do the same. Billing like everyone else. A CRM that doesn&#039;t offer you an advantage. If the workflow is common and the gap is small, buy it. That 10% workaround is cheaper than a full project.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What it doesn&#039;t solve<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 40% form that&#039;s yours: the strange rule, the closing date of the 28th, the data that only exists in your head. There, the standard becomes two systems: the one you pay for and the one you actually use (another sheet, another email, another person).<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Si ese 40% es el mes, no es un m\u00f3dulo que \"ya saldr\u00e1\". Es el producto.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The useful question<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is this process your standard way of working, or is it just a procedure that anyone can do? If it&#039;s a procedure, it&#039;s standard. If it&#039;s your standard way of working, it&#039;s customized.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second question: Can you outline the scope on one page? Inputs, outputs, who uses it, what&#039;s essential. If you can&#039;t, you&#039;re not choosing software. You&#039;re choosing an open-ended budget.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Precio cerrado no es \"barato\"<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&quot;Fixed&quot; means the scope is set, and the price won&#039;t change unless the scope changes. It&#039;s not a specific number in this article. If the scope increases, it will require a separate quote. If you don&#039;t agree to that, it doesn&#039;t matter if it&#039;s standard or custom: you&#039;ll pay for the change anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where does this end?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This page decides. It doesn&#039;t sell the commission. If you already know the process is yours and the scope fits on one page, the next step is <a href=\"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/\">custom software<\/a>. If not, continue with the catalog and write down the 40%. That document will tell you when to change it.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to decide whether a catalogue tool is enough or you need one built for your process, without opening an endless quote.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12011,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12141,"href":"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/303\/revisions\/12141"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12011"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wallion.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
