Bespoke software development vs. off-the-shelf software
If your business is looking for a software solution to help complete your processes, improve efficiency, increase agility or gain competitive advantage, there are two routes you can go down – you can license an off-the-shelf solution or you can develop your own, bespoke system. We discuss bespoke vs. off-the-shelf software below, the perceived advantages and disadvantages of both to help you make an informed decision on what is right for you.
How software can facilitate hybrid working
When the first lockdown was announced in March 2020, we all had to adapt quickly to working from home and the challenges it presented. Now that restrictions are easing, will workers return to the office?
The hidden costs of off-the-shelf software
When looking for new software, the options are to license an off-the-shelf solution or develop your own bespoke software. Businesses often choose an off-the-shelf solution as they perceive it to be cheaper than building something bespoke. While it is true that a bespoke solution often requires a greater initial outlay, at KLOC we believe that it is often more cost-effective in the long run.
What are the different types of software development?
The term ‘software development’ covers a vast range of services, from creating websites to video games! KLOC are experts in business-to-business software development and we will be focusing on this area, detailing the most relevant and important types of development we see today.
