Software solutions for your small business needs... ...and you determine what is important and what is not.

 

MITS specializes in creating small business software. Building custom software takes several key steps. Each step is discussed in more detail below. During the coding step, when we do the actual programming, we use what is called an iterative approach. This means that as we finish major parts of the software, we test it ourselves, and we will meet with you for your preliminary review. By using an iterative approach, we avoid "surprises" at the end of the project. We want you and your employees to try out the software as we are developing it so that we can confirm that the business requirements are being met.

 

MITS focuses on doing projects right the first time. A well thought out design will save time and money in the long run. You don't want a project that fails multiple times in the testing process. You don't want future modifications to cost a lot of money because the basic software wasn't initially designed with business growth in mind. You want quality. Based on our experience, and to ensure quality, all of our service offerings incorporate the following steps:

 

1. Analyze your business's requirements for the software

We will work with you to determine the exact requirements for your software. MITS will watch how you do your work, so we can make sure that we understand what you want. If you have already started to document what you want the software to do, we will use that material and move forward on the project from your preliminary work.

 

2. Design and architect the solution for you

We will discuss your expected business growth, what technology you already own, how your business might evolve in the future, and your budget as we go over alternatives with you. The solution will address how the custom software will affect your computers, your network, your databases, and any other programs that you use.

 

3. Test the software with your business using it

It is important to test the software before everyone in your company starts using it. Although our programmers test it after they program the code, it is also a standard practice for you to try out the software as well. We will do a trial run to ensure that it meets the contract requirements---it runs on your systems and works just as you expected.

 

4. Install a final version of the software on all your computers

We offer a 6 month warranty on every software piece delivered. By the time that we install the software on all of your business computers, you will have a complete, fully tested, documented, working piece of software.

Custom software can help your small business by reducing the overall work load, minimizing data entry and re-entry mistakes, doing electronic transmissions instead of moving paper, and improving the accessibility of your company's data for reporting and decision-making. Since MITS specializes in assisting small businesses with their software needs, our staff can help you assess how software can improve the efficiency of your business.

 

* Develop a software product for you to use and resell

Your business might have multiple offices or even franchises. When creating a new software application, we can design it in such a way that you can sell it or license it to other businesses for their use, even if their business is slightly different from your own. We do this by designing a special model that will work for more than one company and we add optional settings so that each company can configure a unique set-up for their own business or office. This additional design and software coding requires more work, but might make sense if you want to be able to charge others for the software that you designed and that you own.

 

Just imagine---if you are a small business, then you know that there are other small businesses similar to you in other cities and states. If you create some software to run your type of business, then you can market it to those other companies across the country. You are the one who knows the requirements, the suppliers, what should be included, how the operations should work. We know software. If you can create the model for how the software needs to work, we can create the software product for you...and you own the software!
