In the last decade, software engineers and developers have come up with many ways to make the software development process more efficient. The research and development of the technology sector focussing on making business processes better than they are, is attracting the eyes of many. Consequently, commercial off-the-shelf software packages are now slowly being pushed back by developers at any custom software development company.
Here are 3 reasons why custom software development is actually better than commercial off-the-shelf packages.
1. You own the license
The commercial software packages are used by a wide array of users and in several industrial settings. Therefore, companies and individuals are required to purchase licenses to use the product in their business settings.
On the contrary, custom software packages are developed for the business of a particular user only. Hence, the business owns all the rights for the said software and do not have to buy a license from a provider or have to pay an annual subscription fee.
2. No problem with integration
Imagine that you are a business involved in some XYZ trade. You have 4 or 5 different software suites running throughout your business process flow and now you want to introduce a new one that will synchronise them all. A commercial off the shelf package will be difficult to fit in your business.
On the other hand, a custom software development company would be able to study your process, the needs of the business, and will build a software suite that can be integrated with the existing processes.
3. Scalable for future
One of the most commonly encountered problems of a commercial off the shelf software package is their tendency to become obsolete. The market trends are constantly changing, new technologies are being introduced every minute, and businesses are at each other’s throats. In such an environment, it is necessary that the system that you are spending a fortune on today would be valuable even after a decade.
A custom software development company would make sure that the software package given to you is scalable. These suites are designed in a way to grow as your business grows. All they need is a simple module update. This way, your custom software is useful even after years of growth and changes.
Who is the best custom software development company to talk to?
Well, to be honest, there are many. You just run a Google search of the term and you will be bombarded with the search results. But, as they say, not everything that glitters is gold. And not every organisation that offers such service is reliable. Amity Software, however, has been in this trade for decades. They hold the relevant experience, expertise, resources, and knowledge to build what you can call a ‘magnificent custom software’.
