Custom Development
If you need to develop custom software as opposed to a packaged one, SHIV’s offshore team can help with that.
Custom software development is important because it helps meet unique requirements at a cost competitive with purchasing, maintaining and modifying packaged software.
Some of the benefits of Custom Development Services Include:
- Efficiency: Custom software is purpose-built to support processes swiftly and productively
- Scalability: Custom software can grow as an organization or business grows and changes. Designers and developers can assess future needs as part of their requirements gathering. These factors can then be incorporated into the application, rather than incurring costs by purchasing additional licenses or subscriptions of packaged applications
- Lower integration costs: One of the chief considerations of packaged software is: will it work with existing and legacy applications? Custom software can be built to integrate with its intended environment.
- Profitability: Depending on the terms and conditions of the project, businesses that develop their own software may own the software and therefore be able to license or sell it to other organizations.
- Independence: The benefits of being free of a packaged software vendor cut both ways. On the plus side, organizations can avoid price hikes for licensing and support — and getting stuck maintaining packaged software should the vendor go out of business or terminate a product. On the negative side, the cost of supporting and maintaining custom software falls to the organization that created it or had it developed.
The client needs to thoroughly analyze if they really need to build custom software. SHIV’s expertise can help with that.
Our approach to a build-vs-buy analysis is to ask if there is already a packaged software solution that delivers most of the functions needed to:
- Support or automate unique business processes and transactions
- Handle information and data specific to an industry or line of business
- Meet unique privacy or security requirements
- Facilitate integration with legacy applications and data
- Replace or help consolidate existing solutions at lower cost
- Replace or help consolidate existing solutions to achieve greater productivity
- Enable new opportunities or improve competitive advantage
- Grow and adapt to changing requirements.
