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.

ZenaComp Incorporated, a full-service Microsoft Gold Certified technology partner, is seeing an increasing number of businesses that need custom software applications and ZenaComp is delivering. Mark Lichtman, ZenaComp President, made the announcement.
Customers are looking to redevelop legacy applications originally written in Foxpro or MS Access or to develop new software to support their current business strategies. Custom software solutions will meet all of their business needs while “off the shelf” software will not. Realizing this growing trend, Lichtman stated, “Businesses have complex requirements and decision makers are realizing the importance of new technology, including web-based solutions, to give them the functionality they want and need to maintain their competitive advantage.”
For example, ZenaComp recently created a web based application that interfaces with Integrated Security Corp’s (ISC) hardware controllers to monitor and report breaches in security around fence lines for jails, nuclear power plants and airports. ISC is now able to provide their clients with a more professional, state-of-the-art security solution which opens up more potential business opportunities.
Bernie Malkowski, Project Manager at Integrated Security Corp said, “We conducted a thorough search for a development team with a history of quality, timing, delivery and support. From application architecture to application deployment, we found that in ZenaComp.”
ZenaComp is also converting the Cryo-Monitor software from Custom Biogenics from an older technology to Microsoft .NET. Custom Biogenics manufactures and sells state of the art cryopreservation freezers. The new software solution will monitor the communication from the controllers attached to the isothermal tanks including volume and temperature and record this periodic data for reporting purposes. The system will also send alerts depending on set up/thresholds determined by the client and will support both old and new controllers that the client utilizes.
ZenaComp is the exclusive provider of ZenaCareSM: Critical Software Solutions. ZenaCareCSS is a fixed-fee, proven process to streamline operational systems and reduce transaction costs for its customers.
