Custom-built software design and development

One of the major decisions faced by businesses today is whether to use off-the-shelf or custom-built software. The use of off-the-shelf software usually means that your business procedures will have to be adapted to fit the software. If this is not acceptable, possibly because your procedures are well established and proven or because your business has some unique features not catered for in ready-made products, custom-built software may be the best alternative.

Whatever your reasons for considering custom-built software, you will be in good hands with Faber. By outsourcing your custom software development to us, you get project management and a range of skills at a realistic price. Faber has completed software development projects for use in a very wide range of business sectors for over 17 years and has a reputation for developing innovative software solutions. Although custom-built software is usually more expensive than an off-the-shelf solution, Faber's rates are reasonable.

In order to quote reliable budget and timeframe estimates, Faber adopts a four stage approach:

Analysis and co-development of business requirements with the client
Feasibility study, research and solution prototyping
Project management, implementation and training
On-going support and maintenance
