Custom Software is a term that is hard to understand.  The development of custom software is for companies whose needs cannot be met by ”canned” or “off-the-shelf” software packages. A custom software solution may include the development of a complete system, the development of a custom bridge connecting two or more “canned” software packages so they may interact or a custom solution may be designed to interact with a “canned” package to provide a complete business package.

Owning custom software is similar to owning “canned” software. There may be updates or new versions. The difference is, those updates and new versions are dictated by your needs, not by the needs of the software maker. Therefore, you can better control your costs by not being forced into upgrades that may not be useful for your specific needs. 

Whether updating an old paper-based process or designing a system to handle new operations, the first step is to evaluate your business workflow and the daily processes that are undertaken to complete various tasks throughout the business.  The use of an “off-the-shelf” package could require you to change the way you run your business. By reviewing the total picture we can discover the most effective way to use technology to create a custom solution that will help you build a better business environment.
