Custom Software Development

Custom Software Development Developing software is a laborious and lengthy process. The result must be planned well in advance. Certain factors, such as an evolving competition and the changing needs of our clients, make software development very difficult. However, the task is often unavoidable, in order to create user friendly applications according to the specifications and requirements of our clients. Additionally, old systems are consistently breaking down and need to be replaced, especially in view of the Y2K design flaw. Our efforts are rewarded when software runs trouble and worry free on the new operating systems.

The most critical part of any software development is an accurate set of functional specifications. As a tailor creates the design for a suit by measuring the customer, we write the functional specifications by understanding our clients and their requirements, while also keeping the programming demands in mind. With generic software, usually one or two people decide which concepts are used to create a specific software application. Although these concepts may work for many users, the resulting software often leaves much to be desired. Generalisation usually means a loss of functionality for one user or another.

Instead, we design software with one specific client in mind. Once we have established the functional specifications, we design the individual applications. While writing the code, our programmers embed the potential to easily adjust the functionality to other organisations or clients.

Customisation is unavoidable when clients purchase generic software packages, which are all to often unsuitable to their needs. As a tailor marks and hems pants, we first create a plan to modify the software by establishing client requirements. Comparable to a new-design process, we proceed by writing the functional specifications and then continue to customise the 'off-the-shelf' software. This approach positively reinforces our own software development strategy. As our client base expands, so too, will the need for our own programs and designs.
