ABOUT DATADEVICE
The Australian technology company behind WareConnect
DataDevice helps organisations improve the way work moves through their business by combining business understanding, software development, automation and integration expertise.
Illustrative workflow
Business understanding + technology expertise- Understand the process
- Design the connected workflow
- Build and integrate
- Deliver and support
Established in Australia in 2013, our team brings together Business Analysts, Software Developers, Accountants and Technology Specialists to solve practical operational problems - from finance and purchasing workflows to document processing, data automation, information management and connected business systems.
WareConnect is DataDevice's core business automation platform. It brings our experience in finance processes, workflow, data, integration and software development into a connected solution that helps organisations automate important business processes without unnecessarily replacing the systems they already rely on.
Australian roots. Practical technology expertise.
DataDevice combines local business understanding with multidisciplinary technology capability. We work with customers to understand the process first, then determine how software, automation and integration can make that process simpler, more controlled and easier to manage.
Australian and privately owned
A privately owned Australian technology company with its head office in Sydney.
Supporting customers beyond Sydney
DataDevice reports a nationwide Australian customer footprint and has expanded its service and support to international customers.
Multidisciplinary expertise
Our team combines Business Analysts, Software Developers, Accountants and Technology Specialists - bringing business, finance and technical perspectives together.
Knowledge kept within the business
DataDevice's approach is to build and retain knowledge internally so customers can continue working with people who understand their processes and solutions.
Built around real business processes
DataDevice was established in 2013 with a focus on using technology to improve business processes.
Since then, the business has developed capabilities spanning business analysis, software development, integration, process automation, document and data technologies, information management and managed business processes. Today, DataDevice supports customers across Australia as well as international customers.
That breadth matters because business automation rarely begins and ends with a single piece of software.
A finance workflow may involve an invoice, a purchase order, an approval, information held in another system, an exception requiring judgement and data that ultimately needs to reach an accounting, ERP or construction platform. Solving the complete problem requires an understanding of both how the business operates and how the technology needs to work around it.
That thinking is central to DataDevice today - and it is also the foundation behind WareConnect.
Different disciplines. One practical view of the problem.
Technology decisions are stronger when they are informed by the business process they need to support.
That is why DataDevice's capability is not limited to software engineering. Its publicly described team brings together business analysis, accounting knowledge, software development and broader technology expertise.
Business analysis
We start by understanding the current process, the people involved, the controls that matter and where unnecessary effort, delays or risk are occurring.
Finance and accounting understanding
Accounting knowledge helps us design workflows around the reality of invoices, purchasing, approvals, reconciliation, coding, exceptions and financial controls - not simply around what a software screen can do.
Software development
Where standard software cannot solve the complete requirement, DataDevice has software development capability to create or extend applications and workflow functionality.
Integration
Business processes often cross several applications. DataDevice develops and works with integrations that allow information to move between workflow, finance, ERP, construction and information systems.
Automation and data
We use workflow, document capture, validation, data processing and automation where they remove unnecessary work or improve process consistency.
The objective is not technology for its own sake. It is technology that makes a real business process work better.
From a business problem to a working solution
DataDevice provides a combination of its own business automation technology, implementation expertise, software development and integration services.
WareConnect
WareConnect is DataDevice's business automation platform for connected finance and operational workflows.
Its current solution areas include invoice and accounts payable automation, purchase request and purchase order workflows, procure-to-pay, budget and cost control, supplier statement automation and payment approval workflows.
WareConnect currently supports solution paths around MYOB, Xero, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Databuild and Jobpac, allowing customers to improve surrounding workflows while retaining the core business systems they already use.
Business process automation
Beyond an individual application, DataDevice works across processes including procurement, accounts payable, procure-to-pay, invoice processing, sales orders, accounts receivable, timesheets and supplier statement reconciliation.
Software development & integration
When an organisation's requirement cannot be solved through configuration alone, DataDevice can combine packaged software with custom development and integration to address the wider process. Its current public site specifically identifies both ground-up software development and software-package integration as capabilities.
Document, data & information automation
DataDevice supports document and data automation, information management and related workflow requirements as part of broader business process solutions. These capabilities are designed around each customer's operational needs, business rules and connected systems.
Managed process services
Some processes require people as well as software. DataDevice also publicly offers business process outsourcing capability, allowing selected repetitive operational processes to be supported under a managed service model.
More than software implementation
The difference is not simply the technology being deployed. It is how the business problem is understood, designed, delivered and supported.
Understand the business before choosing the answer
We look at the process, requirements and desired outcome before deciding how technology should be applied.
Combine business knowledge with technical capability
Business Analysts, Accountants, Developers and Technology Specialists contribute different perspectives to the same customer problem.
Tailor where the process requires it
DataDevice's stated approach is to tailor solutions around customer requirements rather than assuming every organisation should work in exactly the same way.
Build as well as integrate
DataDevice is not limited to reselling software. Its public capability spans packaged technologies, its WareConnect platform, software development, business analysis and systems integration.
Keep knowledge close
DataDevice specifically identifies retaining knowledge and know-how within its internal team as part of how it achieves customer outcomes.
Stay involved after delivery
Responsive support and dedicated account management are part of DataDevice's published customer approach. The relationship is intended to continue as requirements change rather than end when implementation is complete.
Understand first. Design carefully. Deliver practically.
DataDevice's existing public delivery approach uses four core stages: Understand, Design, Build and Deliver.
- Understand
We examine the current process, requirements, systems, stakeholders and business objectives before deciding what should change.
- Design
We define the proposed workflow, software, integrations and services needed to achieve the agreed outcome.
- Build
Our technical team configures, develops and integrates the solution and completes the required quality checks.
- Deliver
The solution is implemented and users are prepared to work with the new process.
- Support & Evolve
After implementation, our support and account-management teams remain involved so that the solution can respond as the customer's requirements develop.
We do not start with "What software can we sell?" We start with "What business problem needs to work better?"
Practical technology. Better business outcomes.
Purpose
Make business processes simpler, more controlled and easier to improve through practical technology.
Mission
Understand how our customers work, then combine business knowledge, software and automation to reduce unnecessary manual effort, improve control and help people work more effectively.
Vision
To be a trusted Australian technology partner for organisations that want practical automation that can evolve with their business.
company goal
Help customers steadily remove unnecessary manual work while improving the visibility, control and reliability of the processes that matter to their business.
Our values
Customer outcomes first
Technology should solve a real customer problem and produce a useful business outcome.
Understand before we automate
A better process begins with understanding how the business works today and what needs to improve.
Practical innovation
New technology should remove complexity, not create unnecessary complexity around the customer.
Knowledge matters
Develop expertise within the team, understand the solutions we support and retain the knowledge required to help customers over time.
Build for change
Businesses, technology and requirements evolve. Solutions should be capable of evolving with them.
Stay accountable
Implementation is not the end of the relationship. Support, communication and ongoing improvement matter.
Technology is only useful when it continues to work for your business.
DataDevice's customer approach is built around understanding individual requirements, tailoring the solution where needed and backing it with responsive support and dedicated account management.
