Custom Software Development

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom Software Development Agency

What is custom software development?

Custom software development is the collaborative process of conceptualizing, designing, and maintaining highly-specialized software. It involves a dedicated team of coders, designers, and project managers (like DAP’s) combining their skills to make a tailor-made solution for your business. It is undertaken for the purpose of addressing specific problems and giving a competitive advantage to drive business growth, automate processes or help you better reach customers.

Consider employing the services of a custom software development agency to provide purpose-built solutions for addressing specific business problems. Custom software development is a highly targeted, collaborative process. If off-the-shelf software is inadequately addressing your growing company’s needs, custom software may be the solution. If you want a say in the look, feel and functionality of your software, reach out to DAP.

The overarching advantage of custom software development is the resulting competitive edge your business gains. The end product of the development process is a powerful tool that can not be easily replicated by your competitors. Only you benefit from its capabilities. While your business will benefit in the long run from the superior capabilities custom software offers, it takes time to build. Unlike off-the-shelf, ready-to-deploy software options, custom software is purpose-built to your specifications. It may also have a higher upfront cost.

We are your end-to-end Software Development Partners. DAP’s highly ordered custom software development process addresses complex needs. We pinpoint your stress points that can benefit from custom software. Based on a detailed roadmap, we create mock-ups that give a general sense of the product and inform future decisions. Prototypes are developed into reality. Rigorous user research and quality assurance are conducted. Once the final product is created, we take an active role in integrating and maintaining your custom software solution.

Look for a experienced, versatile and process-oriented custom software development agency

Experienced – Review the agency’s portfolio. It should be extensive and impressive. Can you envision your business working with them?

Versatile – Investigate your agency’s team. It should comprise technical experts and creative geniuses capable of executing a wide range of projects. 

Process-Oriented – Study the agency’s process. Do they use waterfall or agile project management methodology? Agencies with clearly-defined strategies deliver.
