Advantages of Custom Software Over Packaged Software

Nov. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- 1. CUSTOM SOFTWARE: Custom software solutions enable you to develop software solutions that map your unique business processes rather than changing your business processes to conform to what a "packaged software" provides.

PACKAGED SOFTWARE: You may have to bend your business practices to fit the requirements of the package, so that it will suite your business.

2. CUSTOM SOFTWARE: Clearly specifying and achieving the requirements that fits your business is possible.

PACKAGED SOFTWARE: Selecting the best package software that entirely fits your business is very difficult.

3. CUSTOM SOFTWARE: With a custom application, you can have all the features you need and request for your business.

PACKAGED SOFTWARE: You may end up paying a lot of money for features that you don't really need and may be unable to utilize the software effectively in your business.

4. CUSTOM SOFTWARE: The cost of and amount of training required is an up-front investment. 24/7 support is available for you on your software functionality and training.

PACKAGED SOFTWARE: If the product is complex, your staff may be confused, making the software useless. You may not receive 24/7 support service and attention for your business's functionality.

5. CUSTOM SOFTWARE : There are no licensing fees with the custom solutions. Once you have paid for the product, you can usually make as many copies as you need.

PACKAGED SOFTWARE : When you buy off-the-shelf software you are always subject to licensing fees.

6. CUSTOM SOFTWARE :Once you have paid for the product, you can use it for as many employees that you need.

PACKAGED SOFTWARE :The initial purchase price for a product often limits your right of use to a limited number of current users. You have to pay extra if you want the product to be accessible to more users.

7. CUSTOM SOFTWARE : Custom software developers can create a version that contains only the system core and essential system modules. This permits the repair of bugs found in the software.

PACKAGED SOFTWARE : Packaged software, in comparison, are often plagued with serious bugs resulting from a short span between deadline and first sale.
