Custom Software

[Mac - 28]

Hi everybody,

I am Looking for some Custom software to manage my business. I am located at California. I am always on move to other cites of the world. Well i have few big and small vendors in some big cities. So I am looking for such software who can track the updates from any remote location.

Please suggest me if you have any such firm / organization who can take care of this.

With the growth of thin client and your requirement for global access it may well be sensible to go down the web application route.

What exactly are you wanting the application to do?

We are a .Net web development firm who specialise in doing bespoke sites and so most likely will be able to assist you.

You might want to try rentacoder.com. They link people who want software with coders.

I am doing a project this way at the moment - their service has been first class so far

Cheers

Pete

I want to share with you something. My friend In California he has suggested me one organization from which he has done his projects and offend he does. He spelled the name.... Ya I remembered "Ac-tech" I believe. He said they do build custom software’s. And even it's located in CA this will be convenient for me. Isn’t it?

You cant really tell much from a website alone but their copy does not read well to me at all.

From the sounds of it they basically have a sales/ management team in the USA and then a programming team (or possibly an outsourcing arrangement) in India for the work to be done at lower labour charges.

Looking at their "project management" services however (as I am a project manager by profession) I would strongly disagree with what they say - they have fallen into the usual small minded/ short sighted idea that a project is about hiting a number of steps within a set budget/ timescale where in reality a project is about delivering a benefit to the business and you can hit all the milestones and project budgets but still have a rubbish project because what is created doesnt meet the business need.

If they mirror this attitude across their software (which my experience of offshored development would say they will) then if you know exactly what you want it will be cheap but dont expect them to come back and offer suggestions of how it could be done better/ quicker/ cheaper or what other avenues it may open up for you. If you say you want a chocolate hairdryer that is what you will get where as we would have pointed out the thing wont work.

I spoke to couple of other companies from India including this one. I personally found them better than others, their business manager (Steve) who was quite helpful and explained me the stuff in detail they are going to send me quotation with details, let's see how it goes.
Thanks everyone for the inputs, it really helped me.
