At Simply Software we use a number of Microsoft based technologies to build the perfect custom software solution for your business. For developing Microsoft Windows applications and internet or intranet solution, we use the following applications.


Framework:

* Microsoft .NET(DOTNET) framework

All software developers like to keep up to date with the latest in development techniques. In most cases developers will now be developing applications on Microsofts .NET framework. This is the latest in the Microsoft family of development platforms. .NET framework allows for quick and stable solutions to be built for Microsoft Windows.

Bespoke Software Projects are developed in stages:

1 - Consultation

Once you've identified an application give me a ring for an informal discussion. Depending on how developed your project is I would then meet you for initial consultation.

This enables me to accurately assess your needs and discuss possible solutions that match your requirements and budget. This is free.

This consultation is far more than a sales visit, you get honest advice, the benefit of our experience and a risk free opportunity to asses the project feasibility.

2 - Quotation

If we believe we can genuinely offer an effective solution that will benefit you, we provide detailed costings, and an implementation plan with timescales. 

The price is fully inclusive:

• site visits
• specification
• design & coding to your requirements
• installation and fine tuning once running
• training & initial support
• software purchases

3 - Specification

A functional specification is produced to describe the scope and functionality of the project.

We spend time listening and understanding to quantify your needs exactly. This ensures the software does the job you want it to do. 

Once agreed the specification forms the basis development, testing and completion.

4 - Development

Your application is developed in stages, allowing you to approve and comment at every phase.
Working prototypes are produced quickly. This avoids misunderstandings that arise from difficult to visualise, lengthy written specifications.You comment on functionality, usability and performance of the application at an early stage. The program is then successively refined based on your feedback. This approach gives you the confidence, throughout, that the finished program will meet all your expectations.

5 - Installation

Your application is then installed, integrating it with your other applications. This may involve importing data from existing systems. We give you all the necessary training you require.

6 - Testing and Handover

For larger application a period of user testing is required where bugs are discovered and fixes provided.

We do not stop until your application is completely reliable and you are totally happy with it.

7 - Support

We continue to support and maintain software after the initial project is completed.
