In the present day, competitive atmosphere in the business world makes it necessary
for the businesses to offer innovative products and services to retain their old
clients and at the same time attract new ones. The businesses are now heavily dependent
on software technology and hence they need custom application development services
that streamline their daily activities or workplace practices for better output.
Software Consutancy is the act of working to produce/create software. This software
could be produced for a variety of purposes - the three most common purposes are
to meet specific needs of a specific client/business, to meet a perceived need of
some set of potential users (the case with commercial and open source software),
or for personal use (e.g. a scientist may write software to automate a mundane task).
The term software consutancy is often used to refer to the activity of computer
programming, which is the process of writing and maintaining the source code, whereas
the broader sense of the term includes all that is involved between the conception
of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software. Therefore,
software development may include research, new development, modification, reuse,
re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.
For larger software systems, usually developed by a team of people, some form of
process is typically followed to guide the stages of production of the software.
