Why Custom Software?
Its tailor made, or specifically designed for your business needs, keeping your specific functions in mind. It offers many advantages over ready to use software. It accommodates not just your specific functionality, but also any preferences and expectations you require in your suite or application.
Custom software serves the unique processes of your business, it solves your particular problems, satisfies your exclusive needs and makes you and your staff more productive and more efficient. We work with your business and your ideas, to create what you need and expect.
We can streamline your business processes by integrating with on-line applications, allowing your workload to be better automated, thus reducing processing time and human input error, while increasing overall efficiency. We have extensive experience in systems integration.
Requirements
We start with a visit from our technical architects to work through your requirements and understand your business processes and the challenges you’re trying to solve. We can guide you step by step and suggest what type of development you will require.
We’ll investigate how we’ll measure ROI, user needs, potential risks and future opportunities. Your employees and your customers are you ‘end users’ we’ll engage with them to ensure we’re creating the correct software for everyone to accomplish their goals quickly and effectively. We cultivate our client’s ideas into a realistic robust solution.
We’ll agree the project before we start any code and ensure you have a clear indication of costs.
Design
Design affects how every part of your business and products are perceived. We work closely with you to ensure your software works just how you imagined it to. We put your thoughts and ideas together with our expertise to create just what you need.
We analyse your requirements and assess the most important parameters. We take into consideration the budget and time constraints, design modularity and risk assessment as we want to be sure your solution is robust.
We ensure your application is tailored to suite you and is the complete solution for all your software needs.
Development & Implementation
Its now time for all the planning and design to be put into practise and our developers love nothing more than sinking their teeth into your application. Our developers start coding your solution, carefully following the software requirement specification document, as well as the internal design instructions.
We engage with the employees that will be regularly using the new system and maintain engagement and communication throughout the implementation process.
Testing & Launch
Before your application is released it goes through vigorous testing, this is where we test for any deficiencies and defects. We test the most important features, such as the core application functions. If any ‘bug’ is detected it is fixed and tested again. The quality of the solution MUST meet your original requirements.
You, the customer will be given a ‘BETA’ copy in order to use and test in your own environment, this allows the users to not only see and use the application but to put it through its paces as you would do every day. We wait for all your feedback, and not until you are completely happy will we release the finished product to you.
We work to a check-list to ensure the launch of your new application runs smoothly and goes to plan, we know your time and that of your employees is valuable and want as little disruption as possible.
