Custom Application Development

What is Custom Application Development?

A Custom Application Development

Is the designing of software applications for a specific user or group of users within an organization. This custom software is designed to address specific needs within an organization as opposed to more traditional, standard software used by the masses.

 

No matter what configuration you’re promised, when you’re buying software off-the-shelf, there’s always going to be some manual manipulation of data to connect your software stack, or some clunky inefficiencies you need to tolerate, ultimately resulting in worse ROI.

 

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

 

Custom applications are not as expensive as you might think, and can offer significant advantages over out-of-the-box solutions – especially when it comes to business process management and digital transformation.

 

There are a many benefits to custom application development. And with increasingly complex internal systems and increasingly specialized companies, customization is becoming more the norm than the exception.

 

But “custom” doesn’t have to mean “expensive.” By leveraging existing software and customizing with bolt-on solutions, you gain many of the customization benefits without a tremendous cost.

 

For most organizations, it’s about choosing a software “hub” and then custom-building applications from that underlying software that suit their unique needs.

Why do you need Custom Application Development?

Here are six benefits of custom application development compared to off-the-shelf software:

 

  • Custom software is tailor made for your business and eliminates the need to change your business procedures to fit a pre-developed software product.
  • The software fits perfectly with your existing business software system ecosystem and usually eliminates the need to use multiple applications for specific business functions.
  • You can generally save on hardware acquisition costs as the solution is designed with your infrastructure in mind and does not carry unused features that increase hardware requirements.
  • You have full access to the original development team so any issues that arise can be resolved quickly and efficiently.
  • Having custom built software reduces external threats to your business as there is much lower incentive for hackers to try to break into a system used by only one company and no public documentation provided to shed light on possible attack vectors.
  • You own the intellectual property rights of the software and can continue to use and enhance the application as needed even if the original software developer is no longer able to maintain the software.

 

We take a consultative and collaborative approach to custom application development while following best practices to ensure your final solutions meets all of your business requirements and is secure and reliable. Your custom application will be put through an extensive quality assurance (QA) testing process to ensure our software components are stable, error free and optimized for performance. We also conduct user training and provide ongoing post-implementation support to make sure your solution is well received and all issues are resolved in a timely manner.
