Custom Software Development - also known as custom software engineering, defines omitting of ordinary (template or box) solutions and views. The customer wants to believe that their favour is unique and putting their ideas into practice with help of new custom software development technologies, custom approaches to solving problems, finding new creative decisions in order to meet the specific requirements and preferences of the customer as quickly as possible - is the key idea of custom software development.

The goal is to develop custom software not for the mass auditorium (users), but it is developed to be unique, for a single customer (user) or a group, as opposed to packaged, developed for the mass auditorium (multiple users). Software Packages are already accomplished and available to all unrelated users or groups of users. For example, software designed for a cell phone manufacturer would be 'custom,' even though there could be thousands of individual users. Software written for use by many other manufacturers would be packaged, even if there were only a single user in each factory.

What are the underlying potential problems that may occur regarding custom software development? The essence of the matter can be viewed within following key reasons:

  • possible risks
  • unavaoidable costs

Custom developed software implies both high cost and high risk. When a customer purchases custom developed software, hi might face a the fact that there are some certain problems with installing the software and adopting it to customer's reality and purposes. Sometimes it ttakes time to manage these issues, causing lossen of time, efferts and money. But it can be called a "force majour" as nothing is perfect and both sides will never be able to predict possible complactions. Of cource, it should be mentioned that custom developed software is often an expensive undertake. But none of the off-the-shelf solutions will be able to meet customers' preferences and requirements as much as custom develped software.

Custom Software Development Industry offers a wide choice of custom IT programming services.

Software Development Companies Worldwide provide custom programming and software engineering services. Most of the companies have wide experience in custom database programming, distributed website and web application development, etc.
