Bespoke software is customizable software. It is often produced by software consulting companies who will either develop the application from scratch, or use existing technology and modify it to meet the client’s unique needs. Because software is written in specific languages, there are endless possibilities for creating new ‘narratives’ or source code. Tools can be created that meet the exact needs of the user, including communication, data maintenance, processing and storage, design, production, and more.The key to successful customization, however, lies not only in the code but in the relationship between the developer and the client. Before development begins, there should be an extensive process defining the client’s needs, their existing processes and their projected growth. Then, using this information, the developer can begin working on specific solutions and will have a realistic view of the time and effort involved with the project, as well as what will be required for maintenance of the software in the future.
