Software / Bespoke Software Application Development

Cutting edge software enabling your business to reach new heights
Our bespoke software application development focuses on the individual needs and requirements of our clients, because we recognise that where software development is concerned, one size rarely fits all.
Our custom software development utilises a number of technologies, from MicrosoftTM technologies (including Visual Basic and Access databases) to platform independent, open source technology (such as PHP, Java and SQL databases). We select the best mechanisms, models and technologies according to the individual project and budget.

Identifying clients' needs and requirements

At TouchStar, we value direct contact between our developers and our clients. In this way, we gain a clear understanding of our clients' goals and objectives and ensure that any ambiguities, inconsistencies or exceptional cases are identified prior to the commencement of the software design and development stages.
Our thorough requirements gathering procedure accounts for the uncommon and unexpected cases, and therefore helps to deliver our IT projects on time, within budget and without compromise on the goals of security, stability and scalability.
We take the time to listen to our clients in order to gain a full understanding and detailed description of their needs and requirements. This allows our developers to choose the most appropriate technologies for the clients' requirements focusing on suitability, efficiency and scalability.

Software design processes

Having identified our clients' needs, the detailed design of the system can then begin. TouchStar developers come from a variety of backgrounds thus providing different perspectives on the project and making certain our design methodology covers all perspectives.
In parallel with the technical design, our interface designers will create preliminary designs of how the user will interact with the system. We give usability the importance it commands from the outset, scaling our usability study to the size of the project.
The diverse and eclectic expertise of our developers, along with the pro-active culture of the company, means that the best options are selected for the client, even down to the finest details.

Client satisfaction

The diversity and size of client base demonstrates our expertise in the field of bespoke software application development, in many varying contexts.  Just ask your TouchStar Sales Reprsentative for a representative list of customers within your industry sector.
Our attention to our clients' requirements, diverse knowledge base and experience in extensible, secure and efficient application development, ensures that our software meets and our clients' expectations and is scalable for their future needs.
Of course, we recognise that software development is as much about the ongoing support service as it is about the product, and again our direct communication between developers and clients means that support requests are clearly understood and implemented correctly in a timely basis.
To ensure we provide the best possible service for our clients, our support contracts are negotiable, which means that we address each client's support service needs as individually as their software development projects.
