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.

Submit "We did a great job in choosing the developer of our IT system for the transportation industry. Our demand was high, thus the technical quality should be very high, while the economic cost should be as low as possible, since we were quite young and had a tight start-up budget. We were recommended to 1902 Software through common references, and when we got in touch with Peter, there was already a welcoming and positive experience. After that, we came in contact with the Project Manager, Paul. We were very skeptical about the communication as it is in English, but luckily it was an incredibly positive experience to hold the first Skype meeting with Paul. Paul has a great technical insight, and we felt taken by the hand and helped through all the system challenges in perfect English. Paul even contributed some new initiatives and gave us both constructive and critical issues in relation to the functions of the system. In the process, we also communicated with Rod who was in charge of the graphic tasks. Again, a very positive experience, both in terms of service, productivity, creativity and very impressive speed relative to delivering graphic products or mockups. Overall, 1902 Software met our critical requirements both on price and quality. Cargo Match ApS gives its warmest recommendations to 1902 Software and thanks them for the good collaboration."

The reason that it took so long was that we wanted to find "the right" project for a "pilot project." Paradoxically, we ended up choosing a fairly complex project to start out with. We certainly did not regret the choice we made. Since we had done some preliminary work, there was a great deal of materials to be translated to English, and a lot of ideas also needed to be communicated. The translation was done by Peter (1902's Danish director) after some meetings. It incurred a little additional cost, but it meant that we got the project started very quickly. We discussed the technical details with a few programmers. I was a bit skeptical to explain everything over Skype, but the lead programmer of the project understood the ideas quite fast, and he forwarded some flow charts and Excel spreadsheets describing how he understood them. A few meetings through Skype and we were rolling. Of course, there were some things to get used to in outsourcing. Meetings should preferably take place in the morning (due to the time difference) and all materials must be in English. Since we were accustomed to almost all these concerns, our system was in English and thus, language was obviously not a big obstacle. It has been a pleasure to work with 1902. They have skilled programmers who are capable of solving tasks in the same professional manner as Danish programmers—but only much cheaper."

Although the distance between us is physically big, this does not matter in the daily work. The advantage is that you can discuss development tasks for the day, and the next morning when you arrive at work, the solution is ready. I would certainly recommend 1902 Software as a partner."

The location of 1902 also worked to our benefit as new features could be developed to our review the following morning. Dansk Merchant Capital can highly recommend the usage of 1902."

The company's website was the last thing I addressed in this process, because I thought it was complicated to make my first website, and also because I had several unfortunate attempts to start with. It has been an amazing experience to make the company's website along with Peter Skouhus who, with exceptional professionalism, constantly helped me and at the same time managed the process of developing the page in an easy and painless way. I can only give Peter Skouhus and 1902 my warmest recommendations."

Collaboration with them is really a pleasure. Peter is extremely flexible and service-minded; he delivers quality on time, and he has humor and a positive energy―with their setup making Manila to Copenhagen seem close. I’m the type of customer who wants it the way I want it and preferably without having to spend time explaining too much. Peter has the empathy that makes the collaboration move forward; he listens and acts―which is very good. I give Peter and 1902 Software Development Corporation my best recommendations."
