Advantages of Custom Software Development

Custom Software Development – Fourth Media Approach

Fourth Media’s unique consulting approach can help you maximize your custom software development investment. With the help of our strong analytical skills and business knowledge, we ensure that your custom software development is in line with the intended business goals.

Consulting

We talk to you, understand needs and come up with innovative ideas. Our business team extensively analyzes and researches your business problem and suggests ways to improve existing work flows or design new work flows. Once we are lucid with your business context, business issues and ways to solve them, we move on to the next phase i.e. designing the system.

Design

User level and system level design is carried out by our design team. Application wireframe, application architecture and programming model are designed. We constantly engage you in the whole processes, taking feedback and improving design till it reaches an acceptable stage of development.

Development

You need software on time, within budget and complying with highest quality standards. We commit resources to the project keeping your business objective on the top of development. Before initiation of the project a project manager is assigned as a single point of contact to you. Execution plan is worked out and milestones as well as deliverables are clearly defined.

Project Management

A well managed project easily translates into a well developed product. We strongly believe that efficient project management can save a lot of time and effort in delivering quality software. With our years of experience in managing complex software development projects, you can be assured that resource utilization for your project is optimized.

Quality Assurance

At Fourth Media quality assurance for your custom software begins at a very early stage of development, i.e. when the software is being designed. Our quality assurance team begins defining test cases, use case scenarios and preparing automated and manual test scripts once functional specifications are approved. During the development QA team is constantly involved in verifying quality of software in accordance with the development specifications, usability and software best practices.

Implementation

Once your custom software is approved by the QA team, a beta version is released for a period ranging from 2 to 4 weeks. We collect your feedback and make necessary changes in the software based on your recommendations. Once you are satisfied with the outcome, the software is deployed in production environment.

Training

We develop user manual and conduct training (remotely or on site) for the end user. Our extensive user manual helps users understand all aspects of your customer software with effortless ease.

Maintenance & Upgrades

We continue with the maintenance and upgrade of your custom software as long as you need it. Service tickets are promptly responded and issues are resolved between 24 to 72 hours depending on the severity of the issue.
