How AxioWorks SQList Aligns With the Priorities of Software Buying Decision Makers

/in /by

As outlined in the “2024 Global Software Buying Trends” report by Gartner Digital Markets, the criteria that predominantly influence software purchasing decisions highlight a market driven by considerations of:

  • Price
  • Security
  • Integration support.

It’s within this framework that AxioWorks SQList distinctly positions itself as a solution adept at meeting these critical demands.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital transformation, businesses across the globe are continually on the lookout for software solutions that not only enhance operational efficiency but also safeguard their digital assets.

Cost-effectiveness plays a pivotal role in the decision-making process for businesses seeking software solutions. With nearly half of the buyers prioritizing price (49%) as their top concern, it’s essential for software offerings to balance affordability with functionality. SQList emerges as a compelling option in this regard. The software’s licensing model is designed to be economically viable, offering a perpetual license at a fraction of the cost compared to the expenses involved in developing, deploying, and maintaining an analogous solution in-house. This cost advantage is further bolstered by the years of experience and refinement that have gone into making SQList a robust and reliable product.

Security, a concern just slightly less prioritized than price at 48%, stands as another critical benchmark for software selection. In today’s digital age, where data breaches and cybersecurity threats are rampant, the need for secure software solutions cannot be overstated. SQList is engineered with security at its core, designed to seamlessly integrate into an organization’s existing infrastructure. This design philosophy ensures that SQList not only minimizes risks to the client’s infrastructure but also empowers them with complete control over access to corporate assets. Such an approach to security guarantees that data is protected with the utmost integrity, offering peace of mind to businesses that are vigilant about safeguarding their digital ecosystem.

Integration support, considered a primary consideration by 44% of buyers, is yet another arena where SQList excels. SQList achieves this by synchronizing SharePoint data with Microsoft SQL Server, thereby providing unparalleled integration support. This synchronization ensures that virtually any software can connect natively to SQL Server, facilitating seamless data integration and accessibility. Such capability is indispensable for organizations looking to maintain a cohesive and interconnected software ecosystem, enabling them to leverage data across various platforms efficiently and effectively.

“When searching for software, the most important factors buyers care about are price (49%) and security (48%). Integration support (44%) is another primary consideration in the purchase decision.”

The essence of promoting SQList lies not just in its ability to meet these industry-standard requirements but in its potential to serve as a secure, reliable, and cost-effective solution that adheres to the highest standards of software development.

By addressing the primary concerns of price, security, and integration support head-on, SQList stands out as an exemplary model of what businesses should seek in a software solution. It embodies a perfect blend of affordability, security, and seamless integration, making it a prudent choice for organizations aiming to navigate the complexities of digital transformation successfully.

“In times of uncertainty, tighter budgets, and everevolving customer needs, it’s not easy for software providers to know where to focus to capture buyer demand and build lasting customer relationships.”

In a market that continues to demand more for less, SQList represents a forward-thinking solution designed to meet the evolving needs of businesses worldwide, reinforcing its position as a leader in the realm of software solutions.
