Bespoke Web Portals

3SC delivers cost effective web portals that reduce the manpower required to successfully deliver your contracts

WHAT IS A “WEB PORTAL”?

Our “Web Portals” are basically bespoke, web-based contract management software. Each portal is a secure website which structures the workflow and reporting for a specific contract. Each Custom Portal is designed around the workflow and deliverables of the specific contract it has been designed for. The aim is to reduce the number of manual steps in the workflow required to deliver the contract, and thus reduce the number of staff needed to manage the contract successfully and improve efficiency.

WHY WOULD MY BUSINESS WANT A “BESPOKE PORTAL”?

The primary purpose of a Web Portal is to reduce the manpower required to successfully deliver a specific contract. Government contracts continue to be challenging on price with the lowest bid often winning the contract, therefore, companies wanting to compete for contracts in this sector need to optimise their contract delivery costs to remain viable. One way to reduce costs is to commission a tailored Web Portal which automates many of the repetitive tasks and reduces the number of employees required to successfully deliver the contract.

3SC currently uses bespoke portals to manage many the public sector contracts we deliver. The work-flow automation performed by these portals enables us to remain profitable in this time of austerity.

THE WORLD IS FULL OF SOFTWARE-DEVELOPMENT COMPANIES SO WHY BUY FROM 3SC?

3SC’s service is affordable
Our pricing starts at £10K upfront + £1K per month for support and changes. If the Web Portal ends up saving you the time and costs of just one full time employee, you are already coming out ahead in the first year of delivery and more in subsequent years.

3SC offers a unique service: support and changes for a fixed monthly fee
You have to make a lot of assumptions going into a new contract and not all of them are going to be correct. The web portal you ordered at the start will differ from the web portal you need once contract delivery commences. This is where our offer sets us apart from the competition. Instead of having to negotiate a price with your software developer each and every time you want to make changes or additions, we offer you a fixed monthly option which encompasses the changes you need. Anything you want to add or change while you are subscribed does not incur additional costs.

We do not trap you into a long contract. Your data, your portal – everything remains under your control
Many companies require customers to sign contracts that do not necessarily meet their needs but you do not realise this until you try to leave. For example, you might discover that your data can not be exported in a usable format. Instead we specifically engineer web portals to remain under the customer’s control at all times. A typical deployment will be in the cloud, registered to the customer and paid for by the customer. If you wish to terminate the arrangement with 3SC, there will be no cost, there will be no migration, you simply revoke our access.
