Benefits of custom software development
1.
Unique Solution that Belongs to Your Business Only
A unique solution is not just about your own branding or design, it’s about your business secrets and processes that help you gain competitive advantages.
2.
Security & Reliability
Off-the-shelf software is generally easier to hack because it is usually designed for a broad range of user-base. Many software providers build and sell their Software As A Service (SAAS) to a very large number of customers and users, sharing the same underlying infrastructure and computing resources, giving the ability to access the software publicly and facing higher security threads.
3.
Flexibility & Scalability
With custom software, you can make changes anytime to it and add more functions to adapt to changes in your business process. Off-the-shelf software is usually “packed software”, you or any other customer of it can get periodic updates from the software provider but cannot change it arbitrarily.

Typical Custom Software Development Methodologies?
1.
Waterfall Model
The waterfall model is a linear mode of development. In this model, engineers take the product from idea, analysis, and design, to deployment in sequential order. This might seem logical but in real life, it’s usually not exactly how software development works because unforeseen circumstances don’t always bode well with strict budgets and time constraints.
In other words, while the waterfall model may seem logical, for most software development companies, it is too rigid to work with the modern needs of development.
2.
Agile Development
The principles underlying Agile methodology emphasize the importance of customer feedback and adaptability.
In doing this, they de-prioritize the need for comprehensive documentation in turn for prioritizing working software.
Likewise, Agile’s focus on individuals and interactions means responding to change takes precedence versus concrete plans.
Overall, Agile development is a modern spin on software development that reflects constructively on what does and doesn’t work when it comes to building software.
3.
Scrum
Scrum is an Agile framework. The framework utilizes the defining principles of Agile but provides a specific structure for development.
One of the biggest components of the Scrum framework is Sprints. A Sprint is a unit of development in Scrum, denoting an agreed-upon length of time to complete certain tasks.
In sprint planning, scum development teams determine a sprint goal and evaluate product backlog items that further said goal.
Scrum development teams also have scrum masters who guide development, sprint reviews for checking progress and taking feedback, as well as sprint retrospectives for identifying improvements for following sprints.

Initial Meeting

Project Assessment & Proposal
Our team will assess your custom software project’s feasibility and scope, then create a proposal that outlines our approach, timeline, and cost estimation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Luvina’s Custom Software Development Services
If I choose Luvina's custom software development services, will I own the software?
Yes, you do. Except for some special situations (for example, the software is customized by us based on licensed software from 3rd party providers), you own the custom software that Luvina develops for you.
We design and develop the software, and deliver to you not only the end product but also transfer the source code and all other related documents for you to operate, maintenance, and be free to customize in the future.
What happens after finishing the development?
After completing the software development and QA, Luvina deploys your software to the production environment and delivers/transfers all the source code and related documents for you to operate and maintain the software system yourself.
We also provide operations, maintenance, and support services to keep your software running smoothly without worrying about technology and management headaches and focus on your core business.
How do I decide to choose between custom software and “off-the-shelf” software?
There are several key considerations in making this decision, but two primary reasons are your requirements for business features, security…, and the total cost of development and operation of the software system.
If the features set of an off-the-shelf software matches your business and security requirements and also meets your budget plan, then off-the-shelf software is best for you.
Typically though, it’s not quite that simple a decision, because businesses usually require specialized and unique software solutions tailored for their business to gain competitive advantages over other competitors, this is when Luvina’s Custom Software Development service comes in: We’ll discover your business needs and provide experienced consulting services to help steward you through the complications of that decision. Sometimes a hybrid off-the-shelf/custom software solution fits the needs best. Whatever turns out to be the best path, our Software Consulting Experts will guide and design that solution for you.
