Is Custom Software Right for You?
As a software development company in the Metro Detroit Michigan area, we can build you exactly what you need, improving efficiency, morale and customer satisfaction. During the first phase of your software development project, we’ll work to define exactly what you need:
- Are you better off buying software and customizing it – or starting from scratch?
- Which programming language should we use?
- Do you need website integration?
- How will the new software integrate with the systems you have in place today?
- Who will support the software once it’s in place?
All those questions and more will be spelled out in the initial software development plan.
Design
The software development process begins by defining exactly what you need and figuring out the best approach. You’ll receive a software development plan that defines the project. Larger projects may be broken into phases.
Develop
In this phase, we develop the solution or integration using custom software development tools. The programming language and software we use depends of the type of project and your requirements.
Test
No software development project can be declared complete until it has been thoroughly tested. We’ll carefully follow testing scripts to ensure all aspects of the new software solution have been tested in your IT environment.
Deliver
Once the software has been thoroughly tested, we will put it into your live environment. In the software development world, this is often referred to as the production environment. We’ll train your users and communicate the new system’s technical support strategy.
Custom Software Development Tools
Which programming software language or tool is right for your project? We won’t know until we have a better understanding of your technical environment, and the scope of the software development project.
Some of the tools and platforms we frequently use include:
- Amazon Web Services for cloud computing hosting
- Django web framework for rapid application development
- Flask, a microframework for Python
- HTML5, the lastest (and shiniest) tool for HTML
- jQuery to write javascript
- Microsoft Azure for application hosting
- Microsoft .NET, C# and VB for object-oriented programming
- PostgreSQL, an open source database
- Python for software development
- Microsoft SQL Server database
