The Custom Software Development Process
Custom software development is all about having your business software developed
to precisely match your business needs. Customised software developed to match your business needs
is the best and only way to get business software that is most efficient to your business.
The building of your customised software in Microsoft Access databases
also gives you the best compatibility with other applications and staff abilities.
Investing in a quality designed custom database software application is a great step
towards maximising productivity and efficiency in your business.
The process we use to design and develop your custom software is:
- We come to you, at your convenience, to learn about your business and your business' needs.
Most of the time, this takes 3 hours or less, however if your business needs are complex, more time may be required to analyse your needs.
Assuming you are in the Adelaide metro area and the process doesn't take longer than 3 hours, this is completely free.
- Next, we analyse all information collected from the initial meeting and we develop a comprehensive and accurate estimation of what the investment
of implementing your custom software development project might be.
Once again, this is completely free.
- The estimate is delivered to you either in person or via e-mail. You can then take all the time you need to examine the estimate and proposal.
There is no obligation. If that's as far as you want it to go, then so be it!
- Most businesses recognise the benefits of investing in custom software development and give us the
"go ahead" quite quickly. Once that "go ahead" is given, we begin to work on your customised software.
- During the development process, we keep you up to date with progress reports and do our best to keep you updated with the latest estimated completion date.
This keeps you informed when to expect your new custom developed software.
The average completion time is around 6 weeks.
Of course, if your needs are simple then less time would be needed and if your needs are more complex than average, then more time would be needed.
The time required is also heavily influenced by the priority level you select. You can find out more about the priority levels on our
fee structure page.
- Around 6 weeks later (again this is subject to the complexity of your needs and your priority selection),
we come back to your workplace, install your new software and train you in how to use your
custom developed software.
We provide you with a user manual, which is always available from our downloads page.
This delivery, installation and training meeting is 100% free if it's kept to under three hours - and it almost always is -
and performed in the Adelaide metro area.
Meetings that go over 3 hours are charged at the standard rate, but only for the additional time beyond the 3 hours.
Travel outside of the Adelaide metro area simply incurs travel charges for time and costs.
