The Benefits of Custom Web-Based Software
The reality is, there is a LOT of software out there. No matter what industry or area, you're in
somebody has written a program for it. So, why should you build your own?
The answer is because you will gain a better solution at a lower price. The weakness of
commercial software is that it is made for many different companies that operate in
many different ways. When you develop your own application, your software is developed
for one company - yours. It runs the way you want it to, exactly how you need it.
How can You Say It's CHEAPER?
When we say custom software is cheaper than commercial software, we say it because we are
looking at the bigger picture. Applications are usually less money than commercial
software in the long run because:
- When you need new functionality out of your software, you can simply add it.
- Assuming the software is web-based, there is no installtion for new employees - all they need is a web browser.
- There are no recurring license fees.
Why a Web-Based Application?
Web-based applications hold several advantages of traditional desktop
software:
- Flexibility in operating system. Desktop software is often written for a specific system.
- Easy deployment and installation. All your employees need is a web browser.
- Easier remote access.
