Custom software and Opta products: we build your software

If your process is standard (invoicing, inventory, sales, point of sale), an Opta product is implemented in weeks and costs less, because it is already built. If your process is your competitive advantage and doesn’t fit generic software, it pays to model it as custom software. An IT2S advisor reviews which option fits you before quoting.

It depends on the option you choose. With Owned Code you pay for the development and the code belongs to your company. With Subsidized Code you don’t pay for the development up front: you finance it with a monthly fee for the agreed term. We set the option in the proposal, before the first sprint starts.

Per project. First we map your process and write it as epics and user stories; with that defined scope you receive the quote before we start. That way you know what will be built, in how many sprints and at what cost, and you can choose between Owned Code and Subsidized Code.

There is no single price: it depends on how many processes, screens, users and integrations your system needs. That is why IT2S quotes per project after defining the scope in user stories. If you don’t want to pay for development up front, Subsidized Code turns it into a monthly fee. If an Opta product already solves your need, the subscription usually costs less.

It depends on the scope. We work in two-week sprints, so from the first sprint you see working progress instead of waiting until the end. The number of sprints is set in the quote based on the epics and user stories, and you can adjust priorities at every delivery. An Opta product, by contrast, is implemented in weeks.

You define the epics and user stories with us at the start and review working progress every two weeks. In each sprint you can adjust priorities based on what you see. At the end we load your data and train your team by role. That way the software follows your process, not the other way around.

The Opta family, sold by COLCO, has eight products: OptaERP, OptaCRM, OptaWMS, OptaAcceso, OptaTPV, OptaFlow, OptaContacto and OptaPits. They are paid by monthly subscription and, as cloud software, are VAT-exempt. IT2S implements them in weeks on it2sCloud, with migration, training and support from the same team.

Yes. Integrations are part of it2sDev: we connect your current systems with Opta products and your custom developments, so information isn’t entered twice. Which systems and how they connect is defined during discovery and included in the quote. For example, OptaERP already includes DIAN electronic invoicing.

The same team that built it. At IT2S, whoever builds it supports it: migration, training, hosting on it2sCloud and support stay with one point of accountability and on a single invoice. You don’t depend on a freelancer or a third party who doesn’t know your code when you need a change or something breaks.

On it2sCloud, the cloud sold by COLCO and operated by IT2S, with firewall, VPN, monthly snapshot and 24/7 hardware support. Hosting it with the same team that develops it gives you a single invoice and one point of accountability for both the software and the server. Server capacity is tailored to what your system needs.
