Project Outsourcing

Custom Software and High-End Websites

Developing software requires an experienced team that understands how your business works. Prestwood Software™, a leader in software development process, specializes in end-to-end software development. We use industry best practices combined with our Prestwood Software Development Process™ to ensure a quality work product. There is NO NEED to outsource offshore, solve your software development challenges with our services. We can turn your vision into a tangible solution.

Two Approaches: Short Term vs. Long Term

We take either a short term cost effective or a long term cost effective approach.

Short Term Cost Effective

With our short term approach, we take a feature and data oriented approach. We focus on the data you wish to track and work with and the specific forms and reports needed to get you up and running as soon as possible.

At a minimum, our short term approach includes:

GUI prototype which documents what the software must do (never connected to the DB until you approve it).
A database design complete with tables, columns, primary keys, and foreign keys.

Long Term Cost Effective

With our long term approach, we still do everything we do with our short term approach but we take a more object oriented and process oriented approach.

At a minimum, our long term approach includes:

More Detailed Written Requirements

	Short Term Cost Effective	Long Term Cost Effective	Notes
Written Requirements	Usually	Yes	With our short term approach, we like to take a traditional written text approach but we primarily rely on the GUI prototype and database design. With our long term approach, we sometimes create traditional written text but we also like to create use case diagrams and document each use case. How completely we document and rely on written documentation versus the actual software is up to the client and development team.
GUI ProtoType	Yes	Yes
Database Design	No	Usually	Because database creation tools are so advanced, we frequently rely on the actual database for database documentation.
Database Creation	Yes	Yes	For short term, the actual database is the documentation. Optionally, we can document your database at any point.
OOP Approach	Optional	Yes	Oop is about reusability and ultimately is left up to the developers and architect of an application and includes time taken up front to properly design an OOP approach with classes that use such core features as inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism. Because we are OOP experts, we will also incorporate advanced design features such as interfaces, polymorphism, etc.
OOP Documentation	Optional	Yes	The level of software design documentation is always a negotiation between us but for our long term approach we like to create at least a class hierarchy diagram and a few object interaction diagrams.

Flexible Payment Options
Our payment options are flexible because we want you to be comfortable working with us. Although we happily complete single projects, our goal is to establish a long term business relationship with you as part of your custom software solutions. We offer traditional payment options as well as our Development Support Account.
