Will custom software integrate into my current systems?
Does your custom software company have a plan to deploy your new bespoke software?
Chances are, when you started your business, you didn’t have a big budget for any custom software.
Which meant you invested your budget as best you could on commercial alternatives which, while maybe not ideal, did the job you needed them to do in the early days.
But as your business grew and your processes got a bit more complicated, you realised that now might be the time to invest in custom software development.

The best questions to ask a developer about custom software development
So you’ve started to think that custom software development might be the best option for your company?
Not one of those elaborate 10,000 piece puzzles that take ages to put together.
You’ve watched for a while as processes stall and work gets delayed.
Plus, you’ve seen staff become more dejected as they get tripped up and try to work around commercial software that just doesn’t do the job anymore.
And you’re wondering how you ended up with such a complex software stack.
But committing to custom software development is a big decision.

Is bespoke software really the answer to my business’ problems?
Your company’s software stack should be like a jigsaw.
Not one of those elaborate 10,000 piece puzzles that take ages to put together.
More like a really simple child’s jigsaw where it’s obvious what each piece is, where it goes and how it fits into all the other pieces.

Is bespoke software really as secure as commercial products
Can you really rely on software security not built for you?
Nearly half of UK businesses were victim of a cyber attack in the last 12 months, according to the latest statistics released by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
And it’s not just big companies who are being targeted.
About 20% of small businesses said they had been targeted by an attack in the two years to January 2019, according to stats from the Federation of Small Businesses.

Custom software vs off the shelf development - which should I choose?
Custom software development involves the creation and deployment of software designed for a specific company, for a specific purpose.
Off the shelf development (or commercial software development) on the other hand, is software designed to complete a task, but in a more generic way, with the aim being to sell the software to the mass market.
In the early days of software development, commercial software did the job well enough.
