Not only is our product great but so are our people. From the initial inquiry to deployment and beyond, we’re here to ensure that you have a solution that works for YOU.

Why would I buy a System when I can build my own?

· Dedicating time and resources to plan and oversee software development diverts you from your core business objectives. Ready-made solutions provide immediate results, getting you on track to realizing your ROI right out of the gate; whereas in-house solutions could take years to just get up and running.

· Homegrown solutions often end up running late, costing more, all while having less functionality than a system that’s been fine-tuned by a dedicated team for over a decade.

· RtDUET has 13 years of maturity via feedback from various clients and their large user base, resulting in robust business logic and an intuitive design being built into RtDUET.

· RtDUET has a refined development process that provides one significant new release a year and patches on an as-needed basis. A yearly release would likely have many issues without a tightly managed development process and a dedicated QA department. RtTech has a solid defect tracking application to log defects and follow through from root cause to fix that is simply too hard to match in an in-house environment.

· RtTech gets pre-release versions of third-party vendors’ software such as OSI PI to adapt to their changes and avoid any potential issues with their new releases.

· Knowledge Retention – RtDUET has a team of cross-trained developers that remove the risk of knowledge loss when someone leaves. In a homegrown solution there generally are not enough resources to accommodate this.

· Industry Expertise – RtTech has a network of industry experts to consult with for new feature considerations. Building your own software means a narrow set of eyes that often are locked into a “this is how we have always done it” mindset.
