Custom software development means creating software as per specific needs of users of organisation .  In general it varies from commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS) with more sets of requirement which only focuses on targeting user which are in general not available in COTS based solution .

Every set of users have their own specific set of requirement and developers in order to fulfil their demands have to customise the software accordingly . Both users and organisations are looking for on demand software that facilitates them with customisation , scalability and convenience which can only be fulfilled by custom software development . 

Benefits Of Custom Software Development 

Personalisation 

Software that may be perfect fit for some business might not be best option for your organisation as well , as you may be following certain process which other organisation might not be following . A custom software development company will always ensure the software will be developed taking care of all your process and requirement .

Lower Integration Cost

Since custom software is built as per specific set of requirement of organisation , it can cope with well with existing environment and operate well with its existing infrastructure . In addition to it , you will also have option to choose only those features which are really important for your organisation which will in turn saves cost and time while comparing with other software which offers various sets of features .

Low Code Development 

Developers facilitate lego blocks which in turn eliminates need of complex codes in software development . This also facilitates customisation of software in your own way .

Innovation

Since software is getting customised as per your need , you have n number of option available to develop your application in technologies you want  and make it work as per your need .

Flexibility 

You don’t have to mould your working as per available in general COTS software , rather you can customise your software that best suits your requirements .

Custom Software Development Mythologies In Use 

Agile : It facilitates breaking of requirement  into functions and then development of features on fast scale .
Rapid Application Development (RAD) : This is often referred to as non linear approach which is being used to condense design and code into one interconnected step which aids in rapid delivery of applications .
DevOps : This is known to be agile approach which is being used to bring software development and IT operations together in designing of software .

Custom Software Development Trends 

AI-Driven Development 

We can all AI as subset of machine learning . AI is being used by organisation in development of software which aids in overall improvement of efficiency of business task . AI facilitates human like thinking and thereby facilitates solutions like automated code generation , augmented analytics and more which helps in improving overall customer experience .

Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

RPA promotes enriched customer experiences , higher process quality , transparency and scalability as it carry on work with automated process with very limited human intervention . Software robot workers allows human to focus on task which requires higher creativity and ingenuity .

SalesForce 

Salesforce development facilities coverage of full customer journeys and thereby build memorable experience for them . This software facilities higher customer satisfaction and sales follow up that is almost impossible to address with regular CRM software . Building custom salesforce solutions for your business can help improving your workflow by increasing your productivity , customer satisfaction and last but not the least revenue .

SAP Development 

SAP facilitates ERP based solution which benefits both organisation and employee to achieve their goal with custom cloud based solution for their custom specific requirement irrespective of their business , products or services . SAP customisation facilitates higher productivity , personalisation for employees and easy management of different departments within the organisation .

Internet Of Things (IoT)

IOT facilitates processing of data in faster way and also takes care of cost . In this data is being analysed at much closer level and at the same time it also takes care of providing improvised security and privacy .

Blockchain 

Blockchain after being popularly used in Finance and Fintech industry , blockchain is also finding its way out in healthcare , supply chain , media and publishing and many other industrial sector . As blockchain facilitates secured network for carrying on transactions in decentralised ledger , it has made blockchain technology strategic importance for business in variety of industrial domains .

Cloud Technology 

Blockchain , virtual reality (VR) and internet of things ( IoT ) are software which all functions on cloud , thereby offering new level of opportunities in software development and that is the reason most of the organisation runs on cloud .

As a leading custom software development company , Winklix is full of talented developers which are ready to provide custom software development solutions for mobile , web and desktop applications for B2B , B2C and internal operations needs . 

The term SDLC is used by software development companies to define the whole development process of software . It contains sets of process to ensure design , development and testing of software is carried on smoothly with the estimated time period and costing .

Custom software development starts with an idea , which later on gets documented to initiate the development process . After documentation development team starts working on it and follows series of steps . The complete sequence of steps that lead to delivery of finished software is known as Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) . For successful delivery of any software , SDLC framework needs to be followed . It given series of benefits in software development such as :

• It is known to be best method for project planning , scheduling and estimation 
• It helps in tracking of project progress 
• It increases development speed 
• It helps in project management 
• It decreases project risk and project management 

We may define SDLC into following stages :

• Requirement collection and analysis 
• Feasibility Study 
• Design 
• Coding 
• Testing 
• Installation / Deployment 
• Maintenance 

All the above stages are generally mentioned in the Service Level Agreement (SLA) by software development company before starting of with the project . The finished project quality depends on how well the steps of SDLC has been followed during development of software solution . However the fact is process of software development is never ending cycle .
However you are considering SDLC as technical document then it is not , rather is it document that makes it easier to evaluate software development process . 

Popular SDLC Models

SDLC contains series of models which is being used in software delivery process . Popular SDLC models are :

• Waterfall 
• Incremental Approach 
• V-model 
• Agile Model 
• Spiral Model 
• Prototype Model 
• Big Band Model 

Among the above listed model Waterfall and Agile  are known to be best SDLC model . At Winklix we follow Agile mythology which also includes customer portal .

What is BlueSprints Agile Model ?

The best part about bluesprints is it works on both fixed price / fixed requirement as well as wherein more creative software development is required .
At initial stages it helps defining project start up document which helps defining project roles and preferred methods of communication and set up deep understanding as per project requirement that will further help in supporting of your project . At later stage it notarise requirement catalogue though series of discussion process before signing off the software requirement sheet (SRS) . 
Once documented , customer will go through it and will sign of the SRS taking customer into full confidence thereby meeting their business needs .
Once we are done with documentation , we start of with development sprints which is usually divided  between 5 and 15 days in length . The development is carried on as per the documentation with our project manager keeping close eye the quality of code and also takes control so that it finishes once or ahead of time .
As the project has been divided into stages defined in milestone , the project tracking can be tracked from completion of milestone and then sharing the portal with client so that they get time to time updates of the state of progress .
Clients at Winklix has also been facilitated with customer portal so that they can track on real time the progress of current sprints .

How Customer Portal Works ?

Customer portal is designed in a way that it ensures that software delivery is traceable by customers during regular intervals of software development process and at the same time ensuring highest quality .
Winklix also has embedded feedback tool which allows customers to drop pins into areas of page of development wherein they want to add feedback or pinpoint an issue . Customers can also create service request tickets in project tracking system .
Customers takes ownership of software by customer portal and feedback tool and also by putting them in control of progress . Working in this way , Winklix customers gets ensure about our close partnership with clients .
