Custom Software That Meets Your Needs Exactly

There are a number of major benefits to custom software. Your software will function exactly as you need it to, with no work arounds or missing functionality slowing down productivity. Your business is unique and your software should allow your company to be innovative and adapt to changing marketing conditions. As your business changes, the solution can also be enhanced to grow with your business allowing you the flexibility to adapt to a changing market.  Custom software can also be developed to integrate with virtually every other internal and external system, increasing your organization’s ability to maximize operations.  Finally, you own the software – it’s your intellectual property.  So there are no more 3rd party annual licensing and maintenance fees to pay for software with a promise from the vendor to deliver new features that may or may not meet your needs sometime in the future.

Our Process Begins With a Vision Discussion and Needs Assessment

It’s critically important that we get to know your business vision and goals. By understanding what you’re trying to accomplish we can help determine if new software is necessary, if enhancements can be made to existing software or perhaps you can benefit from an integration to other systems. Generally with a 1 hour business discussion, we can determine the high level approach and let you know if our expertise and approach is a good fit for your company.

Planning the Right Technology Platform and Architecture

After the vision discussion, the next step is a more detailed examination of the business and technology requirements to produce a high-level estimate, preliminary architecture & design and project plan.  Depending on the complexity of your organization’s needs, we are usually able to deliver an approach and a high level estimate within a few days. We’ll determine if the ideal solution is a cloud based solution for instance and discuss the advantages of a service based architecture to meet your immediate and longer term needs.

Are Your Needs Best Met By a Web, Mobile or Desktop Application?

Each client we serve has unique business needs and we’ll determine if the ideal solution is a web application utilizing responsive design or a true mobile app. Or perhaps a desktop application best meets your needs as this technology is still relevant in many situations.

Custom Application Development - FAQs

What are the advantages of customized software?

Simply put, customized software solutions are created to work with how the client works. Tailoring software to the specific needs of the client means that the user experience can also be customized, which can lead to increased productivity. Customized software can also be maintained to the client's specifications including security, scalability, and technical support. It's a worthy long-term investment for as long as the client is willing to use the software.

What are the things to consider for using custom development?

Important considerations for using custom software development include the technical needs of the client, the maintenance process for the software, the return on investment and the impact of software use on the client's staff. Here are some important questions to ask: What purpose does the software serve? Who will train users to use the software? How will it make life easier for the software's users? What methodology is involved to balance business and software development goals?

What are the advantages of code refactoring?

Code refactoring is the process of restructuring software code with the purpose of improving its internal structure and non-functional features. Code refactoring cleans up the software's code to make it more efficient and maintainable, which can also improve how the software is implemented. Aspects of software implementation affected by code refactoring includes performance, maintainability, security, interoperability, extensibility, and scalability.

When should you refactor and rewrite?

Deciding to refactor and/or rewrite depends on how much change is required for the software solution to run properly. Refactoring software code means making manageable changes to the software without major overhauls that can slow down its progress. On the other hand, a complete rewrite of software code may change the foundations of the code altogether, which can then accommodate updated development technologies or application languages. The decision to make changes in software depends on factors such as the application, the team's capabilities, and the client's goals for the application and the cost of maintaining the current software versus the cost to rewrite.

What does application development include?

Application development involves the design, construction, and implementation of software applications. The process of development also includes planning, analysis, testing, and support for the application being developed. Depending on the size of the enterprise, it can be done by a single developer or a dedicated team.

noun_web-app_-1

Portals & Website Applications

A company’s website is the world’s window into an organization and should accurately represent the essence of the mission, goals, culture and operations. Not only should it be appealing from a visual standpoint, it needs to function flawlessly from a usability and performance standpoint on a desktop, tablet or mobile device. Quality sites can’t simply function as digital brochures; they must attract visitors and engage new and loyal customers. This holds true for public sites, company intranets and secure extranet portals.

noun_integration_-1

Application Integration

Brainspire develops software solutions to integrate your organization’s internal, standalone applications, and your applications with key external business partners. Growing organizations tend to rely on off-the-shelf software, software as a service (SaaS) and custom built solutions to drive their business – but rarely does the chosen, out of the box, software solution work with other systems within or outside the business. This lack of cohesive integration creates manual processes that are time consuming, error prone and expensive.

noun_mobile-app_-1

Today, more users access the web through a mobile device than from a laptop or desktop computer.
