Why Choose Custom Software?

Why Choose Custom Software?

To meet the software needs of your business, there are two main paths:
Buy software “off the shelf”
Build custom software

In most cases, off-the-shelf makes the most sense, and it should be your default choice:

buy off-the-shelf software is usually faster than getting custom software developed. Even complex installation and configuration it typically faster than developing new software.

buy Off-the-shelf software is generally cheaper than developing your own. The development cost of an off-the-shelf package is distributed among multiple firms, possibly many firms worldwide. These many customers more than offset the extra cost of mass production and distribution. Comparatively, with custom software your business alone bears most of the costs.

Off-the-shelf software typically has years of testing and years of production use, as well as feedback and improvement, giving confidence that it actually works.

Off-the-shelf software may include a money-back guarantee in case it does not meet your needs.

There are good reasons, though, to consider custom development, especially in mid-sized or large companies. Under the right circumstances, these advantages can make the decision to develop software the best choice.

When come to "Build custom software " it is a Exactly the Software You Want

The features might not actually work.
The features might work but still not meet your needs.
The features might interact with each other badly, even though they work in isolation.

Custom software, though, is almost infinitely adaptable to your needs. A custom development firm will develop the features you request, and will make them interact properly for your specific needs only.

To Get Different Results, Use Different Software
If you are running a for-profit business in a competitive industry, you have an added incentive to consider custom software. With off-the-shelf software, you will end up using the same software that your competitors are using.

The Server: Do you have what you need?

It is highly recommended that mid-market accounting packages reside on their own dedicated server.


Your Partner will be able to provide you with the minimum system requirements, but servers come in “Honda Civic” to “Rolls Royce” versions – so you will need to rely on a trusted IT advisor.

If you decide to set up a portal (a secure online site to view data) for your system, this may require an additional server called an IIS server.
 
If you have a large number of reports, and run them on the same server as your application, it can dramatically impact performance. The result is frustrated users and complaints.

Plan ahead and distribute the processes evenly across multiple servers if necessary.
