What is Custom App Development?

As the word custom suggests, Custom application development is the process of designing, creating, deploying, and maintaining software applications from scratch to address specific needs within a team or an organization. It means that this software application is tailor-made to fit your unique needs. Custom software is also referred to as bespoke software. This term has its origins in English and the tailoring trade according to IBM.

Custom application development is a process that is often performed by your in-house software developers or a capable partner like Blu Cocoon or a combination of both. A custom software project moves through the same processes that off the shelf software goes through, the SDLC cycle however the design accounts for the unique needs of the team or organization from the start. With the introduction and wide scale adoption of low code development platforms, more and more organizations are realizing the value that a custom application can bring in.

It is like building a custom-made Ferrari with you in mind instead of going to a showroom and picking out a Ferrari already built that you try to make do with. It may not have the type of seats you had in mind, the type of steering when you had in mind, but it will be close enough. But sometimes you may desire critical features like the right type of engine, the right type of transmission where close enough is not good enough for you. That is when you custom build a Ferrari. The next section talks about the advantages of Custom over commercial off the shelf (COTS) in more detail.

Why Custom
App Development?

Custom software development is important because it helps meet unique requirements at a cost competitive with purchasing, maintaining, and modifying commercial software.

Some of the use cases that has helped our customers include:

  • Efficiency: Custom software is purpose-built to support processes swiftly and productively, without the need to tinker with or adjust COTS applications.
  • Scalability: Custom software can grow as an organization or business grows and changes. Designers and developers can assess future needs as part of their requirements gathering. These factors can then be incorporated into the application, rather than incurring costs by purchasing additional licenses or subscriptions of packaged applications.
  • Lower integration costs: One of the chief considerations of commercial software is: will it work with existing and legacy applications? If the answer is no, organizations face a further investment in getting commercial software to communicate and operate with their existing infrastructure. Custom software can be built to integrate with its intended environment.
  • Profitability: It is possible to make money with custom software development. Depending on the terms and conditions of the project, businesses that develop their own software may own the software and therefore be able to license or sell it to other organizations.
  • Independence: The benefits of being free of a commercial software vendor cut both ways. On the plus side, organizations can avoid price hikes for licensing and support — and getting stuck maintaining packaged software should the vendor go out of business or terminate a product. On the negative side, the cost of supporting and maintaining custom software falls to the organization that created it or had it developed. How the equation works out requires each organization to look carefully at whether it is better to build or buy.
