1. What is it actually??

Custom software is used in most developed business. The client (usually a company or organization) orders the product from a software developer. They explain and give requirements to the developer who will translate this to a functional app. Then they choose specific features that support their business.

1. Personalized. The most important advantage is the customized features tailored to your needs. It’s the reason why companies prefer it over purchasing off-the-shelf software.

3. Less probability of hacker attacks. Most hackers attack popular software well known to them for its liabilities. However, Custom Software can´t be attacked easily due to its unique nature. In terms of security, Custom Software is the most efficient type.
4. Maintenance. Another advantage is the flexibility of maintenance. Since the customer owns the software, they will decide the time for an update or operate maintenance on the software.
5. No other hardware and/or software expenses. Upon development, you have the control of features and interface of the software. No need to spend budget on extra software. Furthermore, your software will be created to fit the characteristics of the hardware you already own. As a result, you will have zero cost for the hardware.

3. Choosing Custom Software:

As a result, choosing a customized application represents a good solution for every company which wants to have control of independent and functional software.
