A software is a set of instructions that are written in programming language that is executed or run to accomplish specific task. The software makes our task easier, faster and hence its development is done in life cycles. There are 7 stages in the life cycle of software development. We cannot skip any stages and jump to another phase as this might result in bad software that doesn't meet the requirements of clients. Some software are made for general use and hence have same template, structure and design.
However there might be chances when we want to own the software and don't display the same kind of looks and feel in the interface. For this purpose we often customize the software by changing the background, colors, effects, logo, logo name etc to ensure that it looks different from generic software.
The development of those software that are made for specific company or clients keeping their needs and requirement in mind is called customized software development. It follows same life cycle of software development however there are some changes in the implementation, and application phase.
Advantages of Customized software
- Increases productivity:- Since the software features are tailored in such a way that it meets all the needs and requirements of clients hence it can be used without any difficulty due to faster, and easy to use interface.
- Scalability:- The business requirements can change from time to time and hence to scale up or scale down the software to meet the challenges properly customized software can be used.
- Integration cost is reduced. You might be surprised to know that using customized software we can lower our integration cost. When we use a commercial software it uses third party for integration which can be costlier. However when we build customized software then we need no third-party for its integration.
