Thoughtful architecture, scalability, adaptability, and long-term solution relevance are the main principles that we follow in custom desktop application development. We always look for a really effective way to predict and manage the risks that may appear in 1, 3, or 5 years from now.

How to decide if custom development is right for your system

When custom desktop development makes sense

  • The application supports business-critical workflows that cannot be disrupted
  • The system is built with Delphi or .NET and has evolved over many years
  • There are tight integrations with internal systems, databases or devices
  • Stability and compliance limit risky code changes
  • A full rewrite would introduce unacceptable risk

When it usually doesn’t

  • Requirements are generic and covered by off-the-shelf or SaaS products
  • The application has short-term value or is close to retirement
  • Replacing the system would not significantly impact operations
  • Functional compromises are acceptable in exchange for faster replacement
  • There is no clear owner or long-term roadmap

FAQ

Why opt for custom software development? 01

Custom development makes sense when your application supports business-critical processes, requires deep integrations, or cannot be safely replaced. It allows controlled modernization without forcing your workflows into generic tools.

What engagement models does Softacom offer? 02

We offer dedicated teams, team augmentation, and project-based delivery. The right model depends on your system complexity and long-term roadmap.

What pricing options do you offer? 03

Pricing depends on the engagement model and scope.

How much does custom software development cost? 04

Costs vary based on system size, technology stack, and modernization depth. We start with an assessment to estimate effort, risks and budget accurately.

What are the main benefits of a custom solution over a ready-made one? 05

Custom solutions fit your exact workflows, integrate better with existing systems, and offer greater control. This is especially important for long-lived Delphi and .NET desktop applications.
