Managed Reality





Winter is waning as March progresses, sparking thoughts of vacations like cruises. Have you embarked on a cruise journey? My sole adventure was a Helsinki to Stockholm cruise in late October, which was less than extraordinary. Yet, television series like "Below Deck" showcase mesmerizing experiences in the Mediterranean or Caribbean, featuring yachts in pristine waters and offering amenities including expertly prepared meals.


Similarly, choosing software for your business needs mirrors selecting a cruise for enjoyment. Both decisions are driven by the desire for a seamless and enjoyable experience, whether it’s for relaxation on a cruise or for operational efficiency through Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or Professional Services Automation (PSA) software.


When purchasing, the expectation is based on sales pitches or advertisements promising an ideal experience. In the case of a cruise, it’s about relaxation and unique experiences. For software, it’s about easing business operations. The initial planning stage involves discussing your preferences or business requirements, laying the groundwork for a tailored experience.

Onboarding is next, where you’re guided through what to expect and how to navigate your choices, be it on a cruise ship or within software functionalities. This stage is crucial for setting the stage for a managed, curated experience. For instance, Salesforce's managed packages illustrate how software can be tailored to specific organizational needs, similar to selecting cruise activities or dining options.

Yet, what if your desires change or you seek something not initially offered? The key is to inquire about the possibilities. Whether it’s a specific meal on a cruise or a software feature, open communication with hosts or consultants can lead to tailored solutions that enhance your experience.
