Ignore the noise around Custom Software Development – Here is what you need to know

Developing custom software or an app can be daunting, and finding the right developers is even more challenging.

First, it’s expensive, as teaming up with the wrong development partner or having your own developers can go wrong quickly.

Numerous options must be considered, such as the type of tech you need, its functionality, and the scope of what you want to build.

An even bigger risk is letting developers run the scope, as you are effectively handing them a blank cheque as their budget.

If you do this, prepare for a project that will stay in development forever – creating a real threat of getting zero return on investment.

Scared yet? Don’t fret. We will explain exactly what you need to know in six easy-to-understand points.

1. You need a proven delivery system

A reliable software development partner should have a proven delivery system to ensure projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

You should ask the developer if they have delivered a project like this before and for whom these projects were delivered.

2. You need someone with global expertise and a string of successfully completed projects

It’s easy for companies to talk the talk. But can they walk the walk?

Look for a software partner with global clients and a strong portfolio of diverse custom apps and software that are currently in use.

These diverse portfolios indicate adaptability to various industry challenges and regional needs.

3. You need someone who has tried and tested their development methodologies

Agile practices enable iterative development, frequent collaboration, and rapid adaptation.

It is as simple as that. If your prospective software development partner can’t adjust quickly to issues arising or the natural evolution of your software product – why are you even considering them?

Agile development means faster time-to-market and better long-term value.

4. You need to have CTO-Level access

You might want to think you know everything, but the reality is that no-one does.

Therefore, you must ensure you have access to seasoned and experienced Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) through your software development partner.

They can provide the necessary strategic guidance, technical insights, and tailored solutions.

5. You need to think about your end-users. All. The. Time.

Your software development partner must design with the end-user in mind.

Being user-centric also means testing your assumptions about functionality and user flows.

If the software solution is not intuitive, engaging, and adaptive to your end-users’ needs, they won’t adopt it.

6. You will need a Return on Investment (ROI)

We have mentioned this before: Developing a custom app or custom software is expensive.

Companies invest in software because it becomes an income generator and growth driver, so you must make sure you choose a partner that is committed to delivering tangible ROI.

That means being able to work closely with the partner to define project goals and measure success against predetermined metrics.

It is crucial to ask questions like: Is the solution scalable? Will it still work in a month? A year from now? In a few years’ time? How do I make the solution last? What will the future maintenance on this solution cost me?
