What Are The Benefits Of Bespoke Software Development For Your Business?

Published on 16 July 15

All businesses require some form of software, whether it is to manage their customer relationships, their content or something different. When it comes to choosing the right software solution for your business, there are many different factors you need to take into account. If you take a look on the Internet, you will see that there are plenty of off-the-shelf products available. Nevertheless, you would be much better off going for bespoke software development, and in this post we will explain the reasons why.

A lot of people overlook bespoke software development because they feel it is going to be too expensive. On the other hand, if you opt for an off-the-shelf solution, you can usually find a cheap alternative. But, they are cheap for a reason, and this is because there are many limitations with off-the-shelf software solutions. Moreover, you can save money in the long run with bespoke software because you wonâ€™t have to pay per user fees and other add-ons if you own the software.

When you opt for ready-made software, it is highly likely that you will have to compromise on your requirements. After all, you are not going to find a solution that is entirely catered to your needs, and this can consequently have a negative impact on efficiency. Instead, bespoke software is completely tailored to you and your specific requirements. You will benefit from software that works and looks exactly how you want it to so you can get the results you need. This improves efficiency and quality by an unbelievable amount.

Not only this but when it comes to ready-made software solutions, you may find that the software is too complex. Undoubtedly there will be a ton of features that you donâ€™t actually need, and this can make it a complicated and long-winded process, which is something you donâ€™t have to worry about with custom software, as itâ€™s designed to work how you want it to. Off-the-shelf solutions can also provide limitations because you are not in control and thus when the time comes for your business to grow you may find that the software holds you back. Bespoke software offers much more flexibility, as it can match your changing requirements and evolve over time, so you have the perfect platform for growth.

Last but not least, you can give your business a competitive edge by investing in bespoke software development. After all, none of your competitors are going to have the same software as you. This can give your business the opportunity to outperform your competitors in terms of efficiency and customer satisfaction levels.

To conclude, it is not difficult to see why bespoke software development is the advised solution for any business that requires new software. The only thing you need to do is make sure you choose a development company with care so that your software delivers all of the benefits that have been mentioned in this post. Look at the companyâ€™s level of experience, their reputation in the industry and any past projects they have worked on, and this will give you a good idea of whether to hire them or not.

While the arguments for bespoke solutions above are sound there are also downsides to bespoke software including the additional lead time to launch (and therefore the cost) and the need to maintain resource for the lifetime of the software.
