Adaptive: Overview
Adaptive provides Digital Transformation through: AdaptiveERP, AdaptiveEComm, AdaptiveCMS, AdaptivePPPM2.0 and AdaptiveDMS.
All software is built internally and coded from scratch, with security, strict access controls and permissions built within each module. Think "home-cooked food" rather than ready-made meals. With all our systems buy only the modules you require and add additional ones at any future point.
Licensing: After minimum quotas downsize with only 30 days notice, to match your economic cycle.
AdaptiveERP: An all-in-one, cloud-based, customizable ERP (Business Process Automation) solution, with multiple fraud risk mitigation controls.
Automate workflows and generate operational efficiencies, leading to significant time and cost savings. Create resilient Supply Chains, strengthen workforce collaboration and improve the digital customer experience.
Industry Coverage spans Construction, Engineering, Real Estate, Manufacturing and Distribution, E-Commerce & Retail, Healthcare, Education and Professional Services.
AdaptivePPPM2.0: A patent-pending portfolio, project and workflow management solution, with far superior coverage of dependencies and introduces Kanban-Controlled (Kanban-C).
AdaptiveDMS: Comprehensive Document Management Systems for Projects, Group, Depts., Shared Worklows and Intranets. It comes with full versioning, unlimited folders, file and folder sharing, filters and tags, rapid server-side search, audit trails, a back-up tool and archiving.
AdaptiveEComm: The first fully integrated E-Commerce & ERP system that does not rely on any plugins or 3rd party APIs.
AdaptiveCMS: The first customisable Content Management System based on "click and select", rather than drag'n'drop, which is much easier for users to handle.
Fully Integrated: All software modules are already fully integrated with "one single source of truth". We offer: Hosted, Plugins and APIs.

Insights
Collaboration in Construction
As Henry Ford once said: “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress and working together is success.”
Cognitive Biases in Project Management
Cognitive Biases can impact and influence Projects. Being aware of them can improve the quality of decision-making and further project outcomes.
Digital Transformation
Businesses are placing Digital Transformation at the forefront to benefit from operational efficiencies, create resilient supply chains and improve digital customer experiences.
Knowledge Management
According to the BSI, ineffective information use and lack of knowledge transfer, cost the UK Construction Industry at least £20bn annually.
Knowledge Sharing: Benefits & Challenges
Knowledge is a valuable asset, that can be captured and shared with Knowledge Bases, yet studies show lack of incentives is a major barrier to success.
Implementation
Our 7-Step Approach to implementation provides a solid methodology
to provide the correct users with the appropriate functionality.
Step1: We start with one or more in-depth conversations about your business to understand
your needs, existing set-up and will map out a plan to take you from the Current State ("As-Is")
to the Required Future State ("To-Be").
Step 2: We discover how you perform different tasks. The rationale is to ensure the software
matches current business processes. If the only difference is "preference" the software will be adjusted.
If a different flow improves outcomes we will explain and you will have the option to accept a new approach, otherwise the software will be adjusted.
This step helps improve use acceptance. We also act as Change Management Consultants to help smooth over transformations internally.
Step 3: Risk-Based Access Controls (RBAC) are built into each module, which is superior to a wrap-around.
They ensure users only access modules or activities where permissions are granted. This is a key security measure. These are
discussed and implemented for you during set-up.
Step 4: Data Migration concerns automated transfer of data to ensure existing data can be imported into the new system seamlessly and will be completed prior to go-live.
Step 5: We provide a Test Environment where you can test out the system. If necessary we can fine-tune further. The client signs off when satisfied.
Step 6: During this same period we also provide live training webinars for teams and "Train the Trainer".
Step 7: Once you sign-off we move you to a "live" environment. Throughout your contract you will receive on-going Customer and Tech Support, with the option for Standard and Premium SLAs.

Protecting Against External Fraud
Key Risks
E-Mail is insecure. Messages and attachments are unencrypted and may be intercepted. Should a hacker intercept an invoice, your clients may be subject to Phishing attacks and end up wiring funds to the hacker! Use a 3rd party E-Signing provider that emails links and a hacker may gain access to confidential data.
Key-Based 2-Factor Authentication
After validating e-mail ownership, the user selects a PIN. This PIN is neither transmitted nor stored. It lives within the app. If a device is lost or stolen the PIN would fail after a few incorrect attempts. The PIN is entered onto a key-pad so that even a keylogger could not detect the keys.
Our Invoicing
Invoices are only accessible through our secure portal, after logging in with our 2-Factor Authentication App.
Our Accounting Software
It is only available to authorised users and only those with permission can wire out funds. All data is encrypted: debits, credits, reference numbers, descriptions etc.
Our Databases
Each client has their own database. The key benefits are: A different encryption key per client and ease of customisation.
Our Messaging
We provide each user with encrypted, real-time messaging to communicate with teams, Clients, Suppliers and Adaptive Customer and Tech Support.
Our E-Signing
No links are e-mailed. Recipients are notified to login and all documents are only accessible from within the portal.
