Software Development
Expand your Business — the Power of Custom Software
A significant number of high growth organisations utilise custom computer software as a primary differentiator in operations and service delivery. This custom computer software is created through a process called software development which may involve research, new development, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software creation.
This combined balance of knowledge and experience allows us to develop systems using proven methodologies, tested in real world environments, and known to succeed.
Canary can help you move into the next step, pushing your organisation forward through the use of innovative, custom designed software. The team at Canary consists of members trained for systems analysis & design, with experience in Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft C#, Microsoft VB.NET, Microsoft C++ and many others.
Canary's Methodology
We leverage the most appropriate technology solutions to enhance business processes and achieve business objectives.
Summed up in a few words, our business exists so we can program your software, and the methodology we often select for programmers is Extreme Programming ( Wikipedia: Extreme Programming) or XP.
Extreme Programming promotes teamwork, and emphasises user involvement, the latter being a vital component in software development.
The steps that make up a systems development can be generically summed up as:
- Initiation/Planning
- Requirements Gathering And Analysis
- Design
- Build or Coding
- Testing
- Operations and Maintenance
Development Tools
Canary has access to a wide range of development tools to assist with software design, software development, software deployment, and database management. Many of these tools are unique to Canary and provide the team with the right facilities to get the job done.
Because Canary chooses to use 'XP' as its preferred systems development methodology, software support can be considered as an extension of the software's initial development, with new features often being requested after the first project is complete.
We augment our development services with further options for software support and maintenance, contact us for more information.
