If you were building a custom home, you wouldn’t want the carpenters to start putting up walls before you have seen and approved the architectural drawings (i.e. blueprint).  Can you imagine the cost and time to move a wall if it didn’t meet your liking?

However, many custom software developers do exactly this.  They meet with prospective clients about their software projects and then immediately start “writing code” before the client has a chance to review and approve the solution.  ZenaComp understands the importance of providing you “the blueprint” before it starts building your custom software.

The following are the five phases of a custom software development project:

• The Wish List is like the “Wish List” for your Custom Home

You have may have many ideas about your custom software, the business objectives it is trying to support and the technology that you have seen.  By interviewing your key staff and then analyzing your objectives, challenges, current systems and applications, ZenaComp gives you options and creates a sensible, phased-approach for custom software development.

• Specifications Development/Graphic Design is like “The Blueprint” for your Custom Home

ZenaComp “brings your solution to life” with “page visuals” (i.e. wireframes) that exactly depict how your software solution will look.  Getting your solution right in this step is more efficient and less costly than making changes after development has started.

• Software Development & Quality Assurance is like “Construction and Finish Work” for your Custom Home

Our experienced technology team builds your solution including graphic design, web page creation, database development, application development and quality assurance.

• Client Review Period is like a “Walkthrough” of your Custom Home

Prior to the final release of your solution, we make it available to you.  Now both of our organizations can find any imperfections that may exist so they can be corrected quickly.

• Launch & 45 Day Support is like “Receiving the Keys to your New Home with a Home Warranty”

Your solution is now “live.”  There is a 45 day review period that allows your organization to use your new custom software solution within the production environment.  ZenaComp addresses in-scope issues appropriately without you incurring additional fees.

At the heart of ZenaComp’s success in developing custom software is that it takes the time and effort to create the page visuals/wireframes (i.e. blueprint).  After all, as the cliché indicates, a picture is worth a 1000 words.
