Why do you need customized development for software development? Many customers do not understand the software development industry very much and want a ready-made APP or software, systems, mini programs, etc. The reasons are mostly convenient and simple.
But, is this really the case? Usually software developers will recommend customized development for customers, not because software development companies want to increase prices, but because customized development has many advantages over finished products.
For example:
First, the finished product is not necessarily what the customer wants. It is difficult to find a finished product that fully meets the customer's ideas and requirements. Therefore, customized development will be completed according to the customer's wishes, the styles they like, and the functions they need. This can greatly provide the customer's experience of use and maximize the benefits of the customer's use of the software.
Second, the finished product may have been made a long time ago, the code has cycles, and there will always be bugs. Just like humans, people may be healthy now, but they will get sick in the future, or some difficulties and accidents will occur. So there may be no problem with the finished product at that time. It may also be operating normally when delivered to the customer, but various problems will arise after a period of time. Perhaps the past has met the current functional needs, technology is progressing every day, and the market has changed dramatically, unable to meet the current social needs and cannot adapt to the formal system of the market. Apple phones run smoothly, but with the advancement of technology, insufficient storage in the past will also lead to lag, battery problems, and the system will crash, crash, and crash. Customized development must be completed according to the most cutting-edge and most suitable for the market technology, framework and services. It not only can cooperate well with customers, but also can maintain stability and efficiency for a long time.
Third, the finished product is often lower than the customization cost, which is also because the finished product does not require too much manpower, and the technology and system are outdated. However, the previous two problems occurred, modification and upgrading, adding functions, and another cost, which was even no different from re-making. In this way, it is like buying a software that is uncomfortable to use at a low price and often fails to do the job. It is a loss for both the customer's emotions and money.
Therefore, software development companies recommend customized development, which is actually a more comprehensive consideration for customers. If the funds are not too abundant, you can discuss with the software development company to see if there is a more cost-effective solution or to meet the basic requirements temporarily.
