What is custom software? What 1902 Software offers Support Optimization Why choose 1902 Software? When do you need custom software development? What is custom software? A custom software is a system or application built with a specific set of requirements, usually addressing a business’ unique needs — as opposed to off-the-shelf software systems that serve a more general purpose and are designed to cater to a wider variety of business cases. It can be as simple as plugins for CMS like WordPress or Umbraco, extensions for ecommerce platforms like Magento, or add-ons for desktop applications like Microsoft Office. It can also be customized systems for businesses from small to enterprise levels, complex ecommerce or booking systems, and web, mobile, or desktop applications.

When do you need custom software development? Custom software development is not usually the first choice for a new project, since most of the time, you can find an existing system that can already cover your requirements with little to no customizations needed. So when should you choose to develop custom software? Here are some factors to consider. Highly specialized requirements Standard off-the-shelf systems are often built with only the common features that most businesses need, which is why more often than not, custom software is used for internal applications than client-facing systems. If you need a more specific functionality and you can’t find an existing system that has it, then you need to have it custom-developed. Extended functionality for off-the-shelf systems Custom software development is not only for standalone applications, but can also be for extensions or add-ons to off-the-shelf systems. One example is add-ons to Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint—you most likely won’t need a full custom-developed word processor or spreadsheet, but you may require specific features that are not available out-of-the-box. In this case, you can develop an add-on to extend the standard functionalities of these systems. Established workflow and processes Every new system has a learning curve. By developing custom software, it enables you to adjust the system based exactly on your existing workflow and processes, lessening the time that your team members need to get familiar with the system. Cost Custom software development takes more time and therefore costs higher, which is why it’s always better to go with a ready-made system—if you can find one. But you also have to be careful with purchasing a system and eventually making a lot of customizations down the road, as this could end up with you spending a lot more than if you had a custom software developed in the first place.

Only catch is the time difference which can hinder som project launches during weekends, but it's not crucial at all. Due to their location, their price levels are affordable and their quality doesn't suffer, since they run all their projects on a sharable project platform. I therefore validate their business."

We are very satisfied. 1902 Software works not just as an IT supplier but as a strategic partner on the whole project, who has provided advice and made sure that we took the right decisions throughout the entire process. They have the technology, usability and new initiatives. Our collaboration today resulted in us having a mad-killer product that's at the forefront and completely up-to-date with today's technologies. I will always recommend 1902 Software." Read moreShow less Jonas Greve Director, Helpfindr "We have now completed the first part of our project, and Pro Salus has gone online. Our excellent collaboration with 1902 Software has been an important part of our project's successful development. My first meeting with 1902 Software was a phone conversation with Peter Skouhus which quickly convinced me that I was on the right track with my project, which is pioneering in Denmark. I have programmed and created administrative systems for the industry’s "condition reports and energy labels" over the past 20 years, and also in this context, I have previously outsourced work abroad. However, there was never the same success until 1902 Software took the project. I sent the project description to 1902 Software, and received an estimate after a few conversations with the project manager whom Peter Skouhus assigned me. The talks took place via Skype, and all the people I've spoken with at 1902 Software speaks perfect English with no accent, and therefore in no time, it was clear to me what we have agreed upon. All the people I've had contact with at 1902 Software—the manager, system architect, graphic designer and programmer—are individuals who could think for themselves, understand the problem, and come up with solutions that work. I will choose 1902 Software for future projects, and we are now in the process of preparing for the next part of our project with them. I can only give 1902 Software my best recommendation."

However as the communication facilities were limited and 24/7 online access was out of the question, the data transfer had to be kept to the absolute minimum, as well as each client needed to have its own decentralized database. As the number of vehicles in Mongolia is fairly limited (about 150,000 in 2003), the databases were based on MSDE 2000, having a maximum capacity of 1,000,000 vehicle records, with the possibility to upgrade to a regular SQL server later if required. The unique part of the system is the data exchange between the server and the clients, relying on an absolutely minimum quantity of data to be exchanged. To keep the central database up-to-date, updates are generated and sent by a zipped and encrypted email from each client at the end of the working day using a dial-up connection or LAN connection; during the night the central database is updated with the data from all 28 clients and an update is returned to the clients thereafter (excluding each client's own data). The client database is subsequently updated at the start of the following working day ensuring that the content of all databases is identical by the morning. A log is generated for these transactions and reports are automatically produced keeping the administrator informed about the status of each client database. The system was developed keeping in mind that it should be fully automated and that training of operators should be kept to a minimum. The user-interfaces are all in Mongolian using locally developed fonts, as the standard Cyrillic fonts are missing two Mongolian letters. Needless to say that the system includes procedures for back-up of data to be able to restore partially or completely lost data at any location, as well as tools to deal with clients that temporarily has lost means of email communication; they would be (snail)mailed a specially generated CD with regular intervals. Also clients can generate CDs for mailing with data that they otherwise cannot send. Kampsax A/S was very satisfied with the cooperation with 1902; particularly 1902's handling of changes and modifications during the development phase was outstanding. The interaction between our staff and those of 1902 was flawless and very productive. All communication and tests were done online. The undersigned recently met with our client where the performance of the system was discussed and it was particularly satisfying to learn that the system was working well and completely flawless."

At Hestbæk Consult, we all feel that high quality was delivered during the whole project, and we felt comfortable from start to finish. Specifically, it has been valuable to discuss and develop the project with each 1902 employee who possesses the core competencies we needed at the various stages of our project. Delivery has held time and budget, and there have been in-depth knowledge both conceptually and technically about the whole project." Read moreShow less Dan Hestbæk Adm. Manager - Hestbæk Consult "Spis-online.dk selected 1902 software to perform programming and the development of the idea we've had for several years: a portal where every pizzeria has its own very user-friendly interface in which users can order fast food in a very easy way. It is all in our CMS system. We chose to outsource the job, despite the fact that the first project we had outsourced to Bulgaria through Jutland went down the drain due to failure in many parts of the communication and bad project management. The new project was created in close collaboration with Peter who pointed out to us that for the project to succeed and for the estimate to be kept, it was important that we consistently stay within the original description and not make too many additions and changes along the way. It has been a pleasure working with 1902 Software team who is always fresh and welcoming. There have only been a few misunderstandings, mostly due to lack of precision in our English. With the time difference in the Philippines, we sent tasks and changes in the evening, and the next morning, they were done. Spis-online.dk is live and running. Well done 1902 Software."

We have gradually developed five different extensions, and we are extremely impressed with the professional way the tasks are performed. Their effective communication and development are also a big plus. I can only recommend 1902 Software as a partner. We are planning to strongly expand our collaboration even more."

We have succeeded in implementing a website based on a Photoshop design that our Danish graphic artist had created. The job was done on time, with the cost and quality that in no way compromised our high expectations. We will without a shadow of a doubt continue to give web development tasks to 1902 Software and I can only recommend others to do the same. You often hear that when you outsource to low-priced areas, you will deal with people who "cannot think for themselves." This is not true with 1902 Software. I've met from them people who give exactly the same care that I am used to receiving when I'm collaborating with Danish suppliers."

We had some misgivings at the start as we had previously been cheated by a company in India. All these concerns vanished because 1902 has fulfilled all our requirements and lived up to being a good business partner. All deadlines were fulfilled, the budget was met, and all agreements were complied with. In addition, 1902 shows their great expertise by not just doing what they are asked to, but them coming up with needed discussions, relevant questions and suggestions in connection with the project. They are worth gold! I can give my best recommendations to 1902, which is just a telephone call away." Read moreShow less Brian Rasmussen Workflow3d Ltd. http://www.Workflow3d.com Next
