CUSTOM PROGRAMMING - EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA
CUSTOM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT - EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA

We spend a lot of time on site at small businesses providing IT services.  In our travels we often hear statements like this:

"This software works great, but we really need it to do this."

Or

"We thought our software would be able to do this for us but it doesn't."

We suspect that almost every business has software needs or requirements that the software they own do not fulfill, because every business is different.  There is though, a misguided notion that custom software programming is very expensive, and the cost of working with the software you own is less than having new software programmed.  This is not generally true, and especially over time, custom software can provide productivity savings far exceeding the initial investment.

Custom software development can be affordable.  Viva Media has been providing custom Windows Application programming for over five years and we deliver it at a reasonable price.

We can provide custom solutions in two ways:

►  Integration.  Many "off the shelf" software packages include software development kits ( SDK ) that let you expand the functionality of the software.  The SDK makes programming additional functions easy because many of the tools needed to do this are already programmed.  This saves time which translates to money!

► Ground Up.  In scenarios where software you currently employ does not include tools or the ability to expand its operability, Viva Media can provide custom software programming from scratch.  This is often necessary in industries that do not have specific software already written for them by larger companies, or the industry itself has so many operating variables and conditions that even several different "off the shelf" software solutions cannot provide enough variation to cover all operating scenarios.

In either scenario, Viva Media will work closely with you to develop a software implementation plan at the beginning of a project, and take steps to ensure that the development plan covers all your needs.  This is important, because in programming, nothing can get a project off-budget quicker than design changes after the programming has commenced!
