Custom Development

Custom software development is important because it helps meet unique requirements at a cost competitive with purchasing, maintaining and modifying commercial software.

A custom project would move through the familiar steps of requirements gathering, code construction, testing, and deployment and apply the same methodologies, like Agile, DevOps, or Rapid Application Development, as any other software project.

Efficiency: Custom software is purpose-built to support processes swiftly and productively for uniqueness and flexibility, without the forceful need to change established business processes.

Scalability: Custom software can grow as an organization or business grows and changes.

Lower integration costs: Custom software can be built to integrate with its intended environment very cost-effectively.

Independence: Organizations can avoid price increases for licensing and support — and getting maintaining packaged software upgrades if the vendor terminates a product.

Budgets/Procurement

IT budgeting and its approval is a cumbersome yearly process unless done in a structured way to reflect the business aligned and approved IT strategy.

The main categories for transparency and tracking the IT budgets are:

1. Business applications segregated by projects and services.
2. Infrastructure is also segregated by projects and services.
3. Charge back to users based upon relevant allocation keys (optional but recommended)

The current and expected future costs over the year should be derived by doing quick and informal market research with vendors, business partners, and relevant stakeholders.

After approval of the budget, the step is to consume it by timely execution which requires proactively preparing CAPEX requests of projects together with relevant supporting documents, this ensures securing funds early on and timely execution of purchasing cycle.
