Best of Breed vs. Best of Suite. Both strategies have their own advantages - and pitfalls. Where some opt for simplicity and uniformity, others seek maximum depth and industry-specific functionality.
At Dysel, we don't believe in the either-or story. We choose the power of combination of Best of Breed vs Best of Suite. In fact, our ERP solution integrates the best of both approaches into one powerful, scalable platform.
What is Best of Suite?
A Best of Suite-solution consists of a single integrated system that supports all business processes. All modules - from finance to service - are developed by one vendor and work seamlessly together. This provides many benefits:
- one central database
- uniform user experience
- fewer integration problems
- single point of contact for support and management
The strength of Best of Suite lies in its simplicity, overview and smooth collaboration across departments. For many organizations, this is a safe choice that offers economies of scale and stability.
What is Best of Breed?
At a Best of Breed-approach, an organization chooses multiple specialized tools that each excel within their domain. Consider:
- a separate rental module
- an advanced field service solution
- a tool specifically for equipment management
This approach offers a high degree of functional depth. The downside? You must manage multiple vendors, properly manage integrations and ensure that data remains consistent between systems. This requires more IT capacity and process alignment.
What is the difference - and why is the combination powerful?
Best of Suite offers simplicity, overview and a single user experience.
