What makes FMT better than other custom-developed systems?
Or the true power of intelligent digital building blocks in custom development…
In our series of articles, we try to help middle and senior managers understand what options they have if they want a custom system. We show what advantages FMT technology offers compared to other custom-developed systems.
To do this, we will take 5 topics and examine them to present the differences between custom systems.
To do this, we will take 5 topics and examine them to present the differences between custom systems.
We will examine the following 5 topics:
- Flexibility, customizability
- Development time
- Continuous Implementation
- Costs
- Security
To understand the real differences, we need to understand the ways in which individual systems are designed.
How is custom software made?
Most custom systems are built on some kind of framework. They were developed for someone and then try to sell the functionality implemented in it in other areas. Essentially, every large CRM, ERP, production support, commercial, etc. etc. system is built this way.
Of course, in order for the given system to be usable in companies with other profiles, the developers try to make the original system flexible and scalable. The result is always a system that is just right for the given company in terms of certain processes and data, but not in terms of others.
This is how the solutions that can be found in most companies are born, and can be summarized in one sentence:
“We use computer support, but we don’t really like it.”
Of course, there are also systems designed according to completely unique needs, but their price reflects the cost of developing the entire system. Which means an unaffordable high cost for most customers.

What makes FMT different?
FMT is not a framework developed for a specific task. It is a specific way of thinking. The essence of FMT is that it breaks down any task that involves data and processes into basic processes and data structures. To handle these, it uses so-called LLMs, which are like some kind of intelligent digital building blocks.
Everyone talks about how their system is modular. What makes FMT different?
Because the modules of modular systems are like a house in a prefabricated housing estate.
There is a chance that someone will find a house that has every room just right for them, but most of the time they have to make compromises.
Even if you can replace the doors and windows as you wish.
In comparison, the LLMs of FMT technology are like bricks, doors, windows, light switches, furniture, garden plants, …
From which everyone can build a house for themselves that they want. Moreover, they are designed in such a way that they recognize each other and can work together. There is no such thing as a closet that will not fit because of a larger door.

Knowing all this, let's see what makes FMT better than other systems.
We have been designing custom systems for over 25 years!
