Software development is the method used to create a new piece of software. These are most commonly used to meet the specific needs of a business or manufacturing process. This can range from collecting and storing Data to controlling machinery or running a complete process. Software packages can be written to complete a boring and laborious task automatically.
Typically the following are stages of the development of a new software solution, in which both parties have to work closely as a team to make the project work.
- Researching the market.
- Setting the aims of the business solution.
- Analyzing the issues.
- Completing the proposed software-based solution.
- Implementation of the solution.
- Testing the software by ProNet and host.
- Resulting solution development.
- Maintaining the solution and fixing any bugs.
Then ProNet Computers, with the project instigator will have developed a new “bespoke” solution to deliver an effective, innovated and efficient system.
This is different to buying a software package which has been designed to meet a general need. However in some cases an item of software can be “bespoked” to suit a company’s specific need.
Here at ProNet Computers we have our own highly experienced software development team. They will discuss with you your specific needs and processes and then either create a new software package for you. Alternatively we can advise you if an existing solution is available to suit your business needs. These solutions are tailor to your exact requirements and will be future proofed to grow with your company by ProNet Computers.
An example of bespoke software systems includes our own “Pro-Heartbeat” system. This system was constructed by ProNet Computers and enhances our IT system maintenance service that we provide to our clients. Pro-Heartbeat automatically completes the following tasks;
- Pro-Active 24-7 Server Monitoring System
- Internet Connectivity monitoring
- Available Hard disk space reports
- Exchange Mailbox store size trigger levels
- Supports Windows Server, SBS, Exchange and Terminal Server
- Fully bespoke and customizable solution developed in-house by ProNet Computers.
Our system also gives us a geographical view of where any problems servers are located. This gives us the advantage of allocating an appropriate, nearest, field based engineer to your site.
This has given ProNet Computers a competitive advantage in the IT maintenance arena
