The Benefits of Custom Software Development for Your Business

What is custom software development?

The software commonly used by individuals and organizations alike is intended for broad usage by diverse users. Examples of this include popular tools such as Slack, Google Docs, Figma and others.

Commercial software that is readily available for purchase may not always fulfill the specific requirements of a user, in which case, a custom software solution may be necessary.

Custom software development involves designing and building software tailored to the unique needs of a particular user or group of users. The software can be designed to address specific challenges within an organization or to serve consumers directly. The development of custom software is necessary when existing solutions cannot address the problem at hand. The process can be carried out by the organization's internal developers or, if the project requires more resources, it can be outsourced to a third-party provider.

For instance, a company may require specialized software to analyze a specific type of data that other analytics tools are not capable of handling. This could be a platform for managing drone fleets, or an application for tourism in a particular country that offers more features than most booking websites.

The development of custom software typically encompasses three areas of work, which include modifying existing applications, updating outdated software, and maintaining and managing the developed software.

Application customization refers to the process of adapting pre-existing software to meet requirements that were not originally intended or considered as a fringe scenario by the software's creator.

Application modernization entails updating an application to align with new technological standards and usage scenarios that were not initially foreseen when the software was initially created.

Application management involves all the activities required to maintain the custom software's proper functioning and enhance its performance.

Why is custom software development important?

The significance of custom software development lies in its ability for companies to address their specific business needs at a cost that is comparable to modifying pre-existing software. Adopting custom software development often leads to the following advantages:

  • Efficiency: Creating software for a particular purpose can generally lead to the production of faster and more efficient programs that are not constrained by the constraints of pre-made software.

  • Scalability: Organizations are aware of the growth that is necessary for them to progress and the changes that need to be made to their code base to accommodate this. By creating their own software, companies can take into account their individual needs, and ensure that the software they use does not become a barrier to their progress.

  • Lower integration costs: Pre-made software is not always compatible with the other programs an organization has. In such cases, custom software can be used to bypass any issues and create something that harmoniously works with the other components of the system.

  • Profitability: When a business struggles with an issue, it is likely that other businesses will face the same problem. In those situations, the custom software created for that organization can be distributed to others who need it for the same or similar purpose.

  • Independence: Having control of your own software gives you freedom from the rules and regulations of vendors, as well as the costs associated with using it. On the other hand, companies need to be prepared to be self-sufficient for any technical issues that arise. Ultimately, the pros and cons must be weighed for each situation.

Strategies for Successful Custom Software Creation

Build vs. buy

Prior to entering into a custom software development project, it is important to evaluate if an existing program can meet your requirements. It is better to have a functioning off-the-shelf solution than a custom one that fails. If the success rate is low, it may be prudent to choose an existing program and tailor it to your needs.

Collaboration among all involved

If you choose to pursue custom software development, ensure that all involved parties are in communication. This allows individuals to provide feedback on the development process and reduce the chance of any late-stage problems. Working together will help to prevent any surprises, improve the quality, and ultimately manage expenses.  

Clear requirements

  • Correctness — the task is achievable.

  • Clarity — the requirement is clear and straightforward.

  • Completeness — the requirement is completely communicated.

  • Consistency — It is not inconsistent with other requirements.

  • Verifiability — the completion of the requirement can be identified within the software.

  • Traceability — it can be tracked

  • Feasibility — it can be implemented within the limits of the project.

  • Modularity — it can be changed without adversely impacting the rest of the project.

  • Design independence — the design team can proceed regardless of the presence of this requirement.

Technologies and practices

No matter how the project is executed, the technologies and practices should be cutting-edge and optimal for the job. At Full Stack Ninjas, we specialize in utilizing the following technologies:

Maintenance and management of a custom software

Once the software has been created and put into use, taking care of it is of utmost importance. Software development firms typically not only offer development services, but also continual maintenance to address any issues that might arise and to maintain the system in its best condition.

By hiring a third-party software provider to perform the maintenance, an organization's own developers can focus on other parts of the development process that are more closely related to the business's core objectives. Additionally, outsourcing makes it simpler to automate the process.
