Custom Software Development Blog by Syberry

When it’s time to kick off a new custom software project, many businesses are champing at the bit to get started. They’re eager to launch their new software and start seeing results, and we can’t blame them. But if we hit the ground running right away, we’re actually doing our customers a disservice. In reality, the first thing we need to do is hit the brakes on development and kick off our partnership with a thorough discovery process.

From startups to Fortune 500 companies, custom software solutions can have profound effects on business processes, customer experience, and the bottom line.

If they’re done right.

We hear this question sometimes, and it’s a fair assumption. After all, when we invest significant money in new products, from appliances to new to cars, we’re accustomed to receiving a warranty along with the purchase. So when we invest in a custom software application, why shouldn’t we receive a warranty then, too?

When businesses talk about moving software to the cloud, often what they mean is simply migrating existing software by replacing a traditional hosting provider with a cloud-based provider, or even developing new applications in a classic way and then deploying them in the cloud.

When businesses are searching for a vendor for their software projects, the number-one question on their minds is often how much the project will cost. But unlike products we purchase off the shelf, custom software solutions don’t come with price tags, exactly. Instead, vendors work with clients to fully understand their vision, their needs, and their budget. Then, they can use that information to define the scope (which includes specific goals, including deliverables, features, functions, and tasks) and provide an estimated cost and timeline for the particular project.
