"The reign of software packages whose heyday began in the 90s with ERP, has led to the end of differentiating factors for business. My competitor and I often use the same tool, specified by the same consultants ... where is the competitive advantage? At the same time, it would be ridiculous to redevelop complete chains in Cobol! Combining software for standard treatments and regulations with the creation of custom applications for unique business processes, reopens the door. The idea of composicialTM is an elegant way to give back to business applications both added value and a competitive edge."
