Nexus builds custom business applications that meet clients needs specifically rather then providing a suite of off-the-shelf products. However, many of the custom systems draw on functionality from many well understood, widely used systems.

Custom software solutions provide many advantages to organisations; not least the cultural impact to organisations on deployment, as custom solutions usually embrace and enhance processes by mapping the processes that have grown organically through the organisations history to the software. On a greater level custom software can unleash huge untapped productivity by breaking bottlenecks, increasing capacity, reducing allocated resource to processes, and improving decision making by creating previously unavailable views of an organisations processes and performance tied to KPI's.

In contrast to this, proprietary or out-of-the-box solutions, require that processes are mapped back to the software. In other words proprietary solutions are a one-size-fits-all solution that in most cases fit no one. This situation is becoming ever more apparent to an industry that is becoming tired of leviathan scale applications that cost the earth and require huge cultural upheaval throughout the organisation. Internet technologies are turning software house business models on their heads and forcing even the biggest of these types of firms to rethink their business models.

Competitive advantage in the 21st century is being defined by an organisations' ability to discover ways to utilise technology in ways the competition have not, and to stay in front by continually adding value those systems with continual improvement. Also, systems are creating and opening new markets via electronic distribution and supply chain channels that have only just become available in the last 10 years. The shear power and flexibility of business technology platforms today are making this possible. Standard proprietary solutions.

Custom software solutions are the only way to differentiate this technology advantage from the competition. In the past, custom software was only an option for large scale enterprises with their own software development function. Recent technological advances, especially with the advent of internet standards and platforms are making this option feasible for all manner of organisations. Indeed, many smaller companies are finding that their classical strength of flexibility combined with custom software is allowing them to take on Goliaths.
