Imagine the situation, you are an expert in your field, and to optimize the way you do your job, you’ve been using a subscription-based software that’s been on the market for a long time. But if you’re being honest, you’ve realized the platform does not satisfy your needs completely. You pay for services you don’t need, and you have to cobble together other functionalities that should exist, but don’t. From one software developer to another, let us offer some suggestions as you get started. The steps below aren’t a guaranteed recipe for success, but they will ensure you start off on the right track.

Custom Software Development Blog by Syberry
Here we collect the best articles ever published by Syberry’s people
The time has come for your company to adopt a
custom software system, whether it’s a
brand-new venture or automation of existing
business processes. You have decided to go
with the most reasonable and modern approach:
a web-based software application run in a
secure cloud. The next question is, how much
should you spend?
But there must be some kind of rule of thumb,
or at least an order of magnitude to consider
before you contact a development team? After
all, you need to establish a budget somehow!
The good news is that, while there is no
universal, definitive answer, your project is
likely to fall within a few somewhat common
categories, unless you’re concocting something
truly exotic.
Even for tech-savvy buyers, the process of collecting and assessing quotes for a software development project can be complex and a little confusing because, no matter how many vendors you reach out to, every single one will provide an estimate that’s different from the rest. Unlike commodities or off-the-shelf products and solutions, for which you can compare competitive offerings side-by-side, apples-to-apples, software estimates aren’t that clean cut. In fact, they’re more like educated predictions than firm pricing. After all, because custom software projects are built from the ground up, specifically for each unique buyer, these estimates are all built around a degree of uncertainty.
It’s time to face the truth: your business has outgrown the systems that used to support its functions. When your business took its first steps, an Excel workbook was all you needed to keep track of contracts, orders, suppliers, and employees. Now the business has grown — and it’s still growing. The total net worth is increasing, and the number of clients is increasing with it. But so are the problems. Your business information is always incomplete and fragmented, and you have no way to look at the big picture without spending two hours putting the pieces together. Information slips through your fingers, and it becomes harder for you to track cash flows and meet important decisions. And customers are starting to notice.
