Custom Application Development - Developing tailored customized applications
Whenever software is adapted or created to meet your specific needs and perform specific functions, the process is referred to as developing customized applications. Customized applications are created for one user or a very small group of users. In contrast, packaged applications are created for a large, general group of users. Whereas a packaged application might meet most of your needs, customized applications can be tailored to perform each and every function you desire, within the constraints of the technology.
Of course, the more customization you require, the more expensive the application will be and the more time will be required to make it happen. It is important to balance the benefits of having all your desired features against the cost of attaining them.
The success of developing any customized application depends on having a good design and well-thought-out plans. Fortunately, Oceannet Software specializes in this. We make sure that our customized applications use the latest technology in the most efficient ways to produce business solutions that will let you rise above the competition, without breaking the budget. We pride ourselves on creating customized solutions that help companies of all sizes maintain their competitive advantage and minimize costs.
Our application-development processes are all driven by the client, because we know that our products need to meet your specific needs. Our clients define the scope of our work, and the criteria by which success will be measured.
