Every company has specific business and work processes that are not fully covered by generic software solutions. Companies often adapt to existing solutions instead of the other way around. In addition, generic solutions often require unnecessary data entry and do not allow for specific information to be recorded.
As a result, more and more companies are choosing to develop custom software solutions that are tailored to their needs. Development costs have decreased in recent years, so custom solutions can even be more affordable than generic solutions.
When you make a decision to purchase a new software solution, you probably first think of established products. After all, all companies face similar challenges, and there is certainly a global company that has already developed an appropriate "general" software solution.
Of course, this thinking is correct and justified when it comes to the computerization of business processes that are the same in every company - sending e-mails, accounting, document editors, and the like.
However, in every company there is also a series of specific work processes that need to be systematized, managed, and controlled with the help of modern software. This part of the business also certainly already exists with general software solutions, which only partially follow the specific work processes of the company.
The main problems that arise with the introduction of "general" software solutions stem primarily from the fact that companies are forced to adapt established and efficient work processes within the framework of a general software solution, instead of the software solution adapting to the work process. The second biggest problem with general software solutions is that they often require the entry of data that companies do not need at all, or do not allow the entry of specific data that is of key importance to the company.
Therefore, it is not surprising that in recent years, more and more successful companies have decided to develop a custom software solution, or an optimal combination of both approaches. The costs of developing custom software have decreased drastically in recent years and are in some cases even lower than purchasing general solutions, which ultimately result in a higher price due to the need for expensive upgrades.
This is the main reason why custom software development is a wise decision.
Developing a unique software solution is suitable for:
