what is bespoke software ?

Custom software, is a type of software that is developed either for a specific organization, or a specific function which differ from other already available software (also called off-the-shelf software), and is generally not targeted towards the mass-market.\n\nCustom software has many advantages, the most important one of course being the fact that the software may be developed for a highly specific purpose, which makes it highly efficient, although at a high cost. Another big advantage when compared to off-the-shelf software is the difference in the relationship between the developer and the customer.\n\nDuring the development, the developer can interact more easily with the future users, and it is easier to incorporate additional functionality as most of the users (if not all) often require the same functionality. Another factor of great importance is that the development phase itself doesn't necessarily need to have a strict deadline, compared with mass-market software, where major applications often are plagued with serious bugs as a result of a short span between deadline and first-sale. Custom software developers on the other hand, can create a version that only contains the system core, and perhaps a few essential system modules. That way, any bugs found in the software is easier to fix, and the developers have a foundation to add more functionality to later in the process.\n\nThe biggest issue with custom software is without doubt the cost, and the time involved developing the software. If you buy an off-the-shelf product from Microsoft or other software producers, the application is ready to install at once, and to a fairly low price, and often with good options when it comes to training or support (although at an added cost). The problem with such software is that for organizations with a highly specialized requirement, the functionality required isn't necessarily available, or it might be implemented in a way that adds to the users' workload. Custom software on the other hand, is costly, as it is created from scratch, in addition to a smaller user base and hence, the licensing cost is higher for each user compared to off-the-shelf software.\n\nOther problems that may occur when using custom software, is exporting data to other systems as this is a feature that has be built inside the system. If the custom software utilizes a proprietary file format, this may become difficult, as opposed to generic software which often come with functions that enables the user to convert a document to other formats by a single 'click'. This can also become an enormous problem when the user wants to upgrade/change to a different system, as the data storage formats may not be compatible.

if the software was bought (thus not written by you) there is no way to know. usually the other files provided are text files for start up and small things like that. by software i assume you mean the bulk of it which is the .exe file, the executable file. this has been converted from the original language (C++, Java, ect.) into what is known as machine code (1's and 0's) for this is the only language for computers. the other languages are for us humans to understand not the computer. a compiler will take your programming language and turn it into a machine language code to be run on the computer. usually software, especially expensive ones, do not come with source files showing you the original code or else you would be able to copy it, modify it, etc... so if you try and open up a .exe file into a word document you will see a whole lot of unreadable garbage... but very readable to a microchip just waiting for its next instruction.... \nelectrical engineer,\nRuben

It is software NOT made by your computer manufacturer or operating system maker.

Its basically CAD (COmputer aided design) software that enginers use to design products. it show spec on your design and can show you virtual example of what your desining, used to build houses, make parts ect.. just a ton of things you can do with it..

Look into SDLC.\n\nIt starts with requirements - defining what is expected - not only on what is needed as far as functionality, but when it is needed and how it is delivered.\n\nSuccess is determined by the approval of the customer.  Make sure you nail down what their expectations are.

One example: Java MicroEdition (J2ME).\nSee the links bellow.

Well, there really is no free software for this.  Rather, this is important to your company for tax's, employee managemnet ect.  A paid software would be Quick books.  Which if you buy 1 licence I believe it is about $500 US.  In the interm, check out the listed link for templates through Microsoft!  Good Luck!
