“Software development is not a done and dusted job”

So, you need software. After a long time of preparations, planning, finding a competent team of developers, budget, content, the software development lifecycle, finally going live… After all that work and resources that go into it, you would want your software to stand the test of time, right?

For a project that requires so much effort, time and resources; software products can go easily out of date and become unreliable. Being able to keep your software functional is as important as developing high-quality software in the first place. To get as much out of your investment as possible, keeping to that quality standard is key. We offer long-term support to maintain the software, keep it secure and free from technical issues.

After the first release, there could be bugs or glitches detected. Teams solve these problems through a period of time, which can be quite long depending on the circumstances. Most teams offer 6 months of support, which may not be enough even for the period of fixing or patching after the initial release to get to the perfect product. Which then puts the customer in a financially uncomfortable position. We see this problem and we offer a minimum of 1 year software support, which can easily be extended with affordable packages.

The world of software and software security is fast-paced. This is a blessing and a curse at the same time. It makes the updates and having good security to protect the users (and yourself) a little trickier. To not become vulnerable to threats, security updates should be regular. For an app to have a long life-span, it has to be compatible with the normal or STS version of the app at all times. This is also true for all software the app relies on.

In short, it can be a hassle to keep your products up-to-date. We find open source software to help with that process a lot. Open source software (OSS) is software that allows users to access, change, and improve the source code under a license. If you want to extend a program’s functionality, fix bugs, or even create a new software, developers can easily access and use the source code. This can save a lot of time, effort and money. OSS licensing doesn’t involve copyright restrictions, and the advantages are too many to ignore. We make use of OSS, especially because of the benefits regarding time, cost and the opportunity to get support from the community in case of issues. But there are many benefits to OSS.

• Flexibility
  Code is highly customizable for specific needs and users.

• Stability
  Very suited for long-term projects, the community will be able to keep working on it.

• Security and Reliability
  We have a team of engineers from all over the world, OSS makes it easier to keep the code consistent and reviews fast.

• Easier evaluation
  Code is highly customizable for specific needs and users.

• Better Support
  There will always be many people in the community who are capable of giving support and willing to help regarding OSS.

• Possible savings
  OSS sources may have a download price, customer support is usually not free either. But all in all, purchasing an open source software is usually more affordable compared to commercial software.

So, our formula to long-term use for quality software is;

• Open Source & Ready to use modules
• Requirement Analyze and goal-oriented software development
• Long term support for open source modules & customer software
• Domain & Event Driven Development
• Stable Database Management (Abstraction)
