10 Reasons Why Your Business Needs Custom Software

Getting customised software for your business can be a daunting prospect. It can often be expensive, and requires ongoing investment to keep it up to date with hardware, and operating systems. One of the things we have seen a lot of is software built ten, fifteen, even twenty years ago, still in use, with no modernisation, or updates in that time. This can cause serious issues, from insecure systems, or not being able to upgrade systems for fear of breaking vital software.

These types of situations are simply unacceptable, and should never be allowed to arise. At Delphi Consultants, we have made several careful decisions about the technology we use, specifically to prevent issues like we have mentioned above. Delphi allows us to use a single code base for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. This has a huge advantage in that it doesn’t require programmers with different skills and experience to update the code base, and a simple change can be done in one place, and work for all operating systems.

Without Further ado, lets dive into our list of 10 reasons why your business needs a bespoke software solution, an incredibly poignant list applicable to all companies, big and small!

1. Targeted Solution: Custom software is designed to address your exact needs. Your business is unique and a one-size-fits-all solution is hard to find when it comes to software.

6. Maintenance: With custom software, you’ll have a dedicated team of experts who can maintain and update your program, keeping your best interest in mind.
7. Cost-Effective: While the initial investment may be higher, custom software can be more cost-effective in the long run as it’s tailored to your specific needs and requires less time and resources to manage.
