Individual software compact - What you need to know

The development of a software costs money - no question. At first glance, therefore, the use of a standard software seems to be the cheaper alternative. But the budget estimated for a custom software is worthwhile in the long run and is an investment in the future. A standard software initially costs a monthly fee or can be estimated with license costs. In addition, there are often follow-up costs for updating, customization and maintenance. From our own experience we know that the support for standard software is given, but not always competent and fast. If you want more, you often have to pay more.

The time factor also plays a major role in the development of custom software. Customized software takes several months to complete, depending on the scope. Meanwhile there are different approaches to reduce the development time. With the MVP approach the customer receives an individual software with necessary core functions, which is analyzed and optimized in the course of the time. Thus, the product can be created step by step and adapted to the wishes and needs of the business. No matter whether the software is ready or needs to be optimized - a solution can always be found.

PHASES INDIVIDUAL SOFTWARE

1. Consulting
2. offer
3. development
4. test
5. installation/implementation
6. Customization

Once you have found a professional service provider to develop your custom software, they will first get to know you and your needs. During an initial consultation, they will ask you about your requirements and provide you with information about feasibility, type of development and optimization suggestions. After that, the service provider will make you an offer, in which the individual steps of the creation are listed with the calculated costs. In most cases, when creating a custom software, a predefined project period is set. If you accept the offer, the development of the software begins. The software is tested and optimized again and again during the creation process. Once it is finished, it goes into the implementation in your company. In addition, for large projects, employee training sessions are held in advance to inform everyone about the various functions and usability. After the introduction of the software in your business, adjustments can be made or extensions can be created. If you are interested in developing custom software for your business and need advice, the EXWE team will be happy to help you with any questions you may have about software development.
