Computer Software Services
In today's business climate, most companies need some kind of computer system. Most companies will be able to find a software vendor with a system that is already developed and tested. This will be the least cost alternative, but there are still many pitfalls that must be avoided. Our software conversion service helps you find and install the right software. Once in a while, a company with very specific needs will not be able to find a software package that fits their need. Then the only alternative is custom developed software.
Software Conversions
Software conversions require the client to go through a five step process. Clients must approve the system design and the testing of the chosen alternative if they hope to have a successful conversion. Many companies short change these steps because of time constraints and then discover thay have made an expensive mistake.
  • Identify and document needs in a system design
  • Compare alternatives - both cost and functionality
  • Test and review chosen alternative
  • Pre installation training
  • Install chosen alternative and convert operations
Custom Software
The initial process for custom software is similar to a software conversion. Client must still do the system design, the first step in a seven step process. Then clients must have a good program design, and finally, supervise the system operation testing. As above, short-change these steps at your own peril.
