How AscendWare is Better

Off-the-shelf systems

Off-the-shelf systems are often too expensive and rigid, forcing you to change your operations to match the software. Most companies end up using only 10% of software features but still have to pay for 100%.

AscendWare solutions are designed around your specific operations and workflows, ensuring a perfect fit without breaking the bank. We build exactly what you need—no more, no less. Our tailored approach ensures you get exactly what you need, providing greater flexibility, better performance, and a more cost-effective investment compared to standard off-the-shelf options. With AscendWare, the software works for you, not the other way around.

Custom Development

Typically, slow and costly, custom development companies often start from scratch for every project, building up billable hours and driving up costs. Furthermore, traditional “body shop” custom development companies are impersonal and transactional. They are in the business of selling people. AscendWare is different. We are client and solution focused.   

We take the time to learn about your business, vision and needs. Our strategic approach delivers high-quality, tailored solutions that match your exact needs faster and more cost-effectively than large “body shop” custom development companies.

Citizen Development/Low-code

Low-code platforms offer quick solutions, but don’t be fooled by the instant gratification. Low-code systems are rigid by nature and quickly become costly as you scale your business due to user-based licensing. In addition, companies inevitably encounter limitations with these platforms, leading to expensive and frustrating transitions to new systems, as no two low-code platforms are compatible (by design).

AscendWare combines the best aspects of low-code (fast provisioning, pre-built functionality) without the associated risks and compromises. Our solutions provide unlimited customization and resource-based licensing, ensuring greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness, safeguarding your investment.

The AscendWare Way:

We combine the best of all worlds while serving as your long-term strategic partner. Our solutions are automated, integrated, fast, cost-effective, and perfectly align with your business needs. Rest easy—we also host, maintain and support your custom solution.
