CUSTOM SOFTWARE, A FLOURISHING FUTURE!

Tailor-made software is software produced in a unique way for each business request. This type of software has been around for quite some time. We are nevertheless in a strong development trend of this type of software, helped by the constant progress in new information and communication technologies (NICT). These trends are the cloud, mobility, big data and many more. We will study them in this article.

The cloud: the present and the future of bespoke software

The cloud is the big trend in Custom Software Development UAE. Having the ability to access your software by connecting to the Internet from any medium is a major technical development. It allows the tool to be used anywhere and anytime. We also talk about online software. The majority of new creations of software or ERP modules, for example, are done online. There are many reasons for this: high availability (available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere on any medium), ease of management, reduction in installation and management costs, etc.

Customized software in the age of collaboration

Collaboration is also a strong trend. There is an essential need for internal (between employees and departments) and external (with partners: suppliers, customers, distributors, partners) communication. Custom software must allow this kind of communication. Indeed, it is necessary to have fast tools, in real time, allowing the transfer of data. We can talk about EDI, communications between heterogeneous systems, online customer spaces. The information can be diverse such as logistics, after-sales service, invoicing, purchasing management, sales management, etc.

The advent of connected objects also has an impact on custom software

Custom software will also evolve with the arrival of connected objects. Being able to communicate with all these objects, exchange data, wherever they are, on any medium is a real challenge. Indeed, the usefulness of connected objects comes, among other things, from the personalization of information, requiring data collection, storage, and the return of information in real time. All this requires tailor-made software to manage large amounts of data.

The era of geolocation

This particularly involves the need to know what is happening in real time: location of a product or employee, progress of production or delivery, etc.

Big data and custom software

Specific software can have two interests. They may enable the acquisition of this data or may enable the storage, distribution and analysis of data.

Mobility and tailor-made development

Companies increasingly want to have access to all or some of their software applications through their smartphone or tablet. This implies the necessary technical changes (mobile applications, responsive sites, etc.).

Custom software is therefore evolving rapidly, in line with the evolution of technologies. These developments in no way call into question its foundation: software developed specifically for each company in order to embrace its particularities in the interests of optimal profitability.
