Such solutions are developed as stage by stage process and with the involvement of user departments. Custom software development by a reputable supplier is often a matter of building a house upon a solid foundation. If developed correctly, the outcome will surely deliver high level of acceptance, working solution to bring in efficiency and productivity as the end-result.

Why Custom Software? All organizations follow some systems and some
processes of their operations. They may include
managing contents, processing forms, data-
entry activities, generating reports, sending
notification & reminders, evaluation etc etc.
Performing such operations manually is always a
time-consuming activity and is error-prone too.
Businesses and processes that have multiple
people involved in the process and need
consolidation and most hurt with the lack of a
software solution. Process users may end up
repeated activities, no summarized analysis &
reporting and no data tracking.
Most businesses have a greater need for
business process automation solution than they
realize. And invariably, once a company puts
business process automation into practice, the
organization immediately identifies
opportunities to automate other key processes.

How to reduce Development Failures It’s important on how the software is getting developed and who the people those are involved in this development. Every participant on the software development project (either a developer or project manager or user base or client proxy) needs to brainstorm to understand current processes and the better way of automation. Development failures can be reduced by:
Requirement definition: Starting from a general blueprint, you need to learn and accurately define the business needs and convert them into a technical requirement specification, so that you get exactly what you want in the finished product.
Efficiency, Quick & Regular: Development process can take weeks or months or years. Team and processes can’t wait. Hence, it needs a efficient way to shorten time-to-market delivery for the benefit of businesses to reduce overall cost.
Adaptability: Regular submission, testing and iterating the development with all team members and stakeholders will ensure the required end result with 100% successful implementation within the cost.
Process Visibility: Even after outsourcing your software and application development processes, the team should maintain a transparent and controllable visibility at all phases of the project.
Effective communication: Even after outsourcing your software and application development processes, the team must maintain regular communications at all phases of the project.
