Individual software development, tailor-made for your requirements
We program your individual software with a view to the needs of your target group.
Through our years of experience in the field of software development, we have become aware that programmed software in its dimension and scope often does not fulfill the actual purpose or the necessary need. Therefore, we have worked intensively and in many software projects on a simple structure of our development packages.

Process of our software development
In 7 steps to your software
You are about to implement your software project and wonder how exactly the development process works? In the implementation of your project, we rely on agile software development. The process of agile software development includes six steps. During the entire incremental development process, we are in direct and transparent exchange with you. Our project management is fully mapped in the project management tool Asana.
The biggest advantage of agile software development is that you have a powerful software after a short time. At this point, the software already contains all basic functions. In the further development process, the software can then be adapted even more specifically to the actual user needs based on user experience and your feedback. This way we achieve a continuous improvement of your software and lay the foundation for your future-proof and successful software project.
-
Requirements analysis
In order for your individual software to be a complete success, the first step for us is the analysis of your requirements for the software project. This also includes taking a close look at existing systems, uncovering potential for improvement and identifying your needs together. Together with you, we document your performance requirements for the project and keep a record of the time frame.
-
Consulting
For us, transparent consulting is the foundation of successful cooperation. That's why we create an initial conceptual design with all the requirements we consider essential and feasible within the timeframe you specify. Our developers know what is important and what you need for a future-proof software. Are you planning a more complex project? We would be happy to work out a progress plan for the development of your individual software together in a workshop. In this way we can precisely formulate the offer with all the required functions and the associated time contingent. Your wishes and requirements paired with our know-how then lead to a non-binding offer, which can avoid later deviations and delays in the development process.
-
Planning & Design
A successful individual software needs an intuitive user interface. This is the only way users can later find their way around and efficiently integrate the software's functions into their work processes. The individual software is not intended for internal use, but is to be used later by customers? Then an individual and intuitive design is even more important! You do not have your own ideas yet? Our graphic department will gladly take over the conception of an appealing design in close consultation with you.
-
Development
Now we come to the core of the project: the development of your individual software. For transparency during the development process, a direct contact person is always available to you. Regular meetings provide updates on the latest progress. Furthermore, all tasks are recorded in a detailed documentation, so that you have an up-to-date performance and cost overview at any time.
-
Test
Before we complete the software project and make the final acceptance with you, we subject our code to extensive testing. We check whether the software can be put into operation without errors and whether it meets all the previously defined requirements. Because only when our developers are 100% satisfied with the result, the individual software is considered finished.
-
Go-live
Now the time has come. Your individual software is completely ready for use and goes live. During the whole process we are at your side and always there for you if you have any questions.
-
Support & Monitoring
Your individual software is already in use in your company? Even then our work is not done yet! Regular updates are essential so that the software can be used without errors in the future. At your request, we will provide you with a sufficient support & monitoring contingent to keep your software operational. Our developers will deal with the maintenance and upkeep of the functionality of your services.
Individual software vs. standard software
Which software solution is the right one for your company?
At EXWE, we specialize in custom software development. But is individual software also the best solution for your business processes? Our developers will be happy to go through your options with you to design a digitalization software concept that will help you grow.
What is custom software or standard software?
Custom software, also known as custom software or bespoke software, is software that is developed specifically for a particular organization or individual. This type of software is tailored to the specific needs and requirements of the user and is not generally available for purchase or use by other organizations or individuals.
Standard software, on the other hand, is software that is generally available for purchase and use by anyone. This type of software is often developed for general use and is not tailored to the specific needs of a particular organization or individual. Examples of standard software include commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop.
A key difference between custom and standard software is cost. Because custom software is tailored to a user's specific needs, it is often more expensive to develop and maintain than standard software. Standard software, on the other hand, can be purchased for a fixed price, or it can be leased and used by many different organizations and individuals. Especially in the frequently used SASS rental models, the costs increase extremely with the number of new employees in the company.
Another important difference between the two types of software is the degree of flexibility and customizability. Because custom software is developed specifically for a particular user, it can be highly customized to meet the user's exact needs. Standard software, on the other hand, may not offer the same level of customization and may not be able to meet the specific needs of a particular user.
Overall, the choice between custom and standard software depends on the specific needs and requirements of the user. In some cases, standard software may be sufficient to meet the user's needs, while in other cases, custom software development may be required to provide the features and customizations desired by the user.

What is software development?
A short FAQ about software and more
What is software development in the enterprise?
Enterprise software development refers to the process of developing software for business purposes. This can mean that software is developed to automate specific processes in the business, such as managing customer data or tracking orders. It can also mean that software is developed to provide specific services, such as a website or mobile application. In a business, software development is usually done by a team of software developers coordinated by a project manager. The team works together to develop the software from planning to release and maintenance. In a company, the software development process is often supported with special tools and methods that help to structure and optimize the process. Software development is an important part of many companies, as it can help automate processes and increase efficiency. It is important that software development is carefully planned and executed to ensure that the software developed meets the needs of the business and works reliably.
What is xUnit?
Unit is a collection of unit testing frameworks for various programming languages. Unit testing frameworks are tools that allow developers to thoroughly test individual components or "units" of software to ensure that they work properly. xUnit was originally developed for the Java programming language, but there are now versions for many other languages such as C#, Python, Ruby and many more. The different xUnit frameworks share many common concepts and features, but there are also differences in syntax and details depending on the language. One of the most important concepts of xUnit is the "test case". A test case is a single check of a unit of software that verifies that it works as expected under certain conditions. xUnit includes tools that allow developers to define and execute test cases and evaluate the results of the tests. xUnit is a very useful tool for software development, as it can help improve the quality of software and detect bugs early. It is often used in conjunction with Test-Driven Development (TDD), where tests are written before implementation.
What is jUnit?
jUnit is an open source unit testing framework for the Java programming language. It is part of the xUnit family of unit testing frameworks and shares many common concepts and features with other xUnit frameworks. jUnit was originally developed by Erich Gamma and Kent Beck and is now one of the most widely used unit testing frameworks for Java. It allows developers to thoroughly test individual components or "units" of Java software to ensure that they work properly. The most important concept of jUnit is the "test case". A test case is a single check of a unit of software that verifies that it works as expected under certain conditions. jUnit includes tools that allow developers to define and execute test cases and evaluate the results of the tests. jUnit is a very useful tool for software development, as it can help improve the quality of software and detect bugs early. It is often used in conjunction with Test-Driven Development (TDD), where tests are written before implementation.
What is DevOps?
DevOps is an approach to software development and deployment that aims to improve collaboration and communication between developers and operations teams and accelerate software delivery. The term DevOps is made up of the words "development" and "operations." DevOps aims to overcome the separation between the two areas and achieve closer collaboration and integration. By improving communication and collaboration between developers and operations teams, it aims to accelerate software delivery and improve quality. DevOps relies on automation and tools that help speed up the delivery process and improve software quality. These include continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD), for example. DevOps is also closely related to Agile and Scrum, as both approaches focus on rapid iterations and continuous process improvement. DevOps has become increasingly important in recent years and is now used in many organizations to streamline software delivery and improve collaboration between developers and operations teams.
What is Reactive Programming?
Reactive Programming is a software development paradigm that focuses on creating systems that respond well to changes in their environment. Unlike other paradigms that focus on processing requests where results are provided at a later time, Reactive Programming refers to processing data streams that can change in real time. Reactive Programming focuses on processing events that occur in a system and responding to them. It does this by using observables, which represent events that occur in a system, and subscribers, which respond to those events. When an event in an observable changes, all subscribers subscribed to the event are notified. Reactive Programming is often used in conjunction with asynchronous systems where processing of requests must be fast without stalling the system. It is also commonly used in conjunction with distributed systems where it is important that changes to one part of the system are quickly noticed by other parts of the system. Reactive Programming is a powerful paradigm that can help improve the performance and scalability of software systems and improve the response to changes in the environment. It is used in many areas of software development, including web development, mobile
What are software development companies?
Software development companies are companies that deal with the development of software. They develop programs and applications for various platforms such as desktop computers, cell phones, web apps and other devices. Software development is a broad and diverse field that includes developing new applications as well as maintaining and improving existing software. It also includes analyzing requirements, creating designs and using development tools and methods. Software development firms typically offer their services to clients operating in a variety of industries. They may offer in-house developed software for their own use or for sale. Some software development companies specialize in specific industries or technologies, while others cover a broader spectrum. Software development firms often work with project managers and clients to understand project requirements and expectations and create a plan for development. They also often assemble teams of developers who are responsible for implementing the project.
