Software Development

Specialised Technologies code software for

  • all major platforms (Windows, Linux and Mac)
  • firmware for embeded electronics
  • customized operating systems for server and desktop
  • web interface
  • database
  • much more!

We only utalise the most effective software development languages to ensure your project is as efficient, stable and secure as possible.
We ensure your design is exactly to your specification and guide you through the development cycle with focus on future development needs, software life cycle and scalability.

From simple user interfaces to full blown data center and internet applications we can bring a world of functionality and efficiency that you never imagined possible all while integrating with legacy databases and/or applications.

We maintain our products with extended support and development plans and ensure you are always abreast of change by incorporating new technologies as they are invented and developed.

We have several pricing models that can benefit your long or short term goals and even free you from the need to raise funds in order to develop a solution. We recommend contacting us for more information to ensure all your questions can be answered.

There are 6 stages to our software design model:

1/ Requirement and analysis
This is the most important step in the entire process and lays the foundation to your software needs.
Consequently this one step alone and can account for 30% of the time spent in development.
We work closely with your business to understand your requirements, even to the point of visiting field service staff in order to understand thier roles and exact a clear solution to make your business more efficient.
If hardware is a requirement it is thoroughly planned at this stage also with future scaling and upgrades in mind.

2/ Design and Domain Analysis
Often overlooked by developers keen to start coding, Domain Analysis is crucial to your future development and scalability needs.
Quite simply it is the method by which code is analysed to be reused in the future.
This can drastically save time and development costs through not only time to code (and hence cost) but though smart management of your application.

3/ Implementation and Programming
The actual programming itself begins!
Modular components of the software are run together and modified to suit your application.
Several tests are performed along each minor build and your input may be required to determine the effectiveness of the application to that particular point.

4/ Verification and Release Candidates
This step is important to ensure no bugs are introduced that have adverse affects.
It consists of at least 2 releases before the final release and hence deployment can be achieved, they are alpha releases and beta releases.
The difference between alpha and beta releases is that alpha is the working package as tested by us and beta is the package that will be tested in your business before the final release is made and deployment begins.

5/ Deployment, Training and Support
If your software needs are relatively simple you may not need to spend much time here.
Large scale deployments on many machines and publicly deployed software will definatly spend time in this step.
Deployment and training seem obvious but can also bring about significant software changes should the software not be matched to the hardwares capacity. We ensure deployment is considered from the start and leave this step to the last few things that need to be achieved as a final check.

6/ Maintenance, Support, Development
Software needs hardware in order to run and maintenance is a large part of any responsible managers considerations.
Ongoing support is provided if necessary and paths made for development at the start are revisited if your needs grow or change.
We will always support our products and provide you with the best after sales service to ensure you continue to experience the most from our quality services.
