What is Custom Software?
Custom Software is a computer program or web
site designed for your company, based on your
current business model. Contrasted with off the
shelf software, custom software allows the software
to grow with the business over time.
What is Custom Software
cost effective?
In addition to cutting down on user licenses,
custom software replaces many repetitive tasks
by combining data that is stored in several different
locations. If your company currently imports and
exports between Microsoft© Word, Excel, or
Access in order to accomplish different tasks
then a custom program will save countless hours
of data manipulation by having all the data in
one place. Custom reports can then be generated
from the data at the click of a mouse.
Software designed specifically for your company
can cuts down on new user training by replacing
large bulky "feature loaded" software
with a streamlined program including only the
features your business uses. Experienced employees
learn quickly and are then able to train new employees
in a matter of hours instead of days.
One major difference between custom and non-custom
software is that with pre-written software, you
are paying for the right to use the software (a
license), and every new installation on another
computer requires a license. With custom software,
you own the rights to the software, and you do
not pay additional fees to add users. You are
free to resell the software to any other party,
or install it on as many computers as you like.
What if my company changes?
Custom Software can be modified to accommodate
any type of infrastructure changes or modifications.
The source code for the software belongs to you
and as a company can have the software modified
by anyone you choose. Usually unless some unforeseen
event arises, software once written needs no maintenance
at all, and can remain in place indefinitely.
What are the associated
fees for software design?
Custom software generally requires three different
types of programming. Most important is the database
design. This is usually the most critical part
of the design process. Then programmers develop
a GUI or graphical user interface for the database.
If you need a web interface that requires another
type of programmer. Cost is based entirely upon
an hourly rate, and the different types of programmers
all bill at different rates. Only a careful analysis
of the business model will provide enough information
to process an estimate.
