The difference between All-in-one and Best of Breed in software

Sharing:

Are you about to digitise your business processes?
Then you have two options: opt for an all-in-one solution or several best-of-breed products.
 

What is Best of Breed Software?

Best of breed software focuses on one task, such as time recording or payroll. Instead of having all your business processes in one system, with best of breed you use several specialised programmes. You then have a different tool for each task, often from different vendors.
 

Why do companies choose Best of Breed?

  • Specialisation: The software focuses on specific problems and provides solutions to them.
  • Less customisation needed: It often fits needs immediately, without much adjustment.
  • Simple integrations: Designed to easily integrate with other systems.
  • Fast Return on Investment (ROI): Quick payback.
  • Targeted costs: Pay only for the features you need.
  • Rapid implementation: Implementation takes little time.
  • Less training: The user-friendly software requires little training.
  • Closer to the user: Quick to manage.
  • Better user input: Specialisation allows users to better communicate their needs.
  • Rapid adoption: Focused on simplicity, so users quickly accept the software.

 

Integration capabilities of Best of Breed Software

Best of breed software almost always requires integrations, as the different tools need to communicate with each other. This is usually done through APIs, which provide a simple way of linking.
 
Although some companies opt for all-in-one solutions, they cannot always meet all requirements. Therefore, many organisations opt for a mix of all-in-one software and best-of-breed packages. Integration can be challenging, but it is a focus of Sense Cloud.
