Why do you need Bespoke Software Development?
There are probably dozens of different software solutions available for any one specific business need - but are commonly available “one size fits all” software solutions really ideal?
Standard business software may be adequate for standard businesses, but when your way of working defines what you are, and why your customers do business with you, then you will need something better, something that makes it easy for you to be what you are. Bespoke software development enables organisations to achieve real competitive advantage in a focused and customised way that packaged software cannot match.
Asckey Data Services has a long, and in some cases, award winning, history of bespoke application development, building systems that will give you the edge over your competitors, and allowing you to meet these new challenges.
Your Business Data
Business Applications are about entering, displaying and analysing data – particularly the data unique to your organisation. Our expertise lies in creating applications which support this process. Systems for intensive web based data collection systems (often found in civil service/government areas), process management, sales & marketing or fulfilment environments for general business.
Today we have a wide choice of reliable, heavy duty databases, and the hardware needed to support them, at lower than expected costs. For the database itself, it can even be no cost! Replacing management by spreadsheet, and even earlier legacy systems with modern Windows or Web database applications has become highly cost effective.
Our development tools are specially chosen to support your choice of database, or if you have no preference, the one that we can select for you.
Innovation
Your business is unique, and it is that uniqueness that is the root of your success. That means we need to be innovative in supporting how you work, not imposing pre-conceived notions of what is the right way of doing things.
Our experience in tailor making an application to match your way of working, that can be run as a Web application through an Internet browser or a Microsoft Windows application or even using mobile devices enables us to confidently offer our services in many business sectors.
Attractiveness and Flexibility
We have left the world of character mode “green screens” way behind. We have even left the world of relatively static, programmer defined screen layouts behind. Today’s windows applications, as well as building in extensive user friendly “intelligence” - offer previously unattainable features to maximise usage of screen space and “user personalisation”. Never has it been so satisfying to build what our clients want!
Business Management - Data is not enough
Important as the application and the database is, it is what you can get out of your business data that is your biggest long term asset, and one that is all to often under utilised. With our specialist understanding of “Business Intelligence”, and our Dynamic AI Business Intelligence reporting system, we ensure that you get the best out of your business data. Whether it be “Who is my best customer?”, to “What is my least profitable product or service?”, it is our job to make sure you have instant access to the answers.
Quality Control
All development is carried out under the remit of our ISO 9001:2008 certification. More often found in much larger development consultancies - what ISO quality control means to you is that we manage application development to:
Maximise our and your understanding of your needs
- Maximise communications between us and you
- Minimise misunderstandings
- Minimise “surprises” – especially in relation to cost and delivery time scales!
