Digital Transformation
For enterprises looking for insight into what is feasible from a business process automation standpoint, abac leverages it’s cross-industry knowledge towards planning the wining course of action.
Planning evolutionary solutions
Industry runs on software. With abac, industry leaders can plan, prototype, build, ship, test and maintain enterprise tier software solutions in a predictable and evolutionary fashion.
Process
As industries run on concrete processes that are optimised by software, abac ensures it’s own processes used for the manufacturing of software solutions are as transparent and intuitive as possible.
Conceptual knowledge share
A series of meetings will ensure that the context for optimisation is well understood by abac
Strategic assessment
An assessment is made in order to establish the operating processes, their flow and the monitored KPIs.
Functional Prototyping
A Process Automation Plan (PAP) document is creater that illustrates the opportunities for process automation and KPI improvement.
Feedback
As a manufacturer of software solutions, it is our full intent that the resulteing systems help enterprises optimise operations and grow incrementally. As such, abac shares in both an enterprise’s problems and it’s solutions, with great interest.
Digital transformation for businesses
Achieve digital agility and bring impact to your operating market by working with a company that will own up to your mission.
Frequently asked questions
How are custom software applications manufactured?
Each custom build software application has to undergo a software development process before it can reach market-readiness.
As such, the following video explains the lifecycle for developing a software application.
Software systems, API's, applications and other technical jargon?
A software application
A software application (or app) is practically a computer program that is designed for satisfying a specific purpose for a specific series of users.
Frontend applications
Frontend applications (or client applications) are applications that have user interfaces. Think of a website, a mobile app or a desktop program that you can work with.
Backend applications
Backend applications are applications that just contain business specific logic (data-centric apps, apis) and that allow other applications to interact with this logic.
An API (or Application Programming Interface) is a good example for an application that exposes business logic towards being used by other applications.
A software system
A software system is practically a collection of applications and apis that work together towards solving a particular set of problems.
Custom software development vs webdesign?
If you’re in need of a simple presentational website or a simple e-commerce store, then you’re in need of webdesign services that help you build your web experience on top of an existing software platform (such as WordPress or Instacart, which offers a lot of software features out of the box).
Custom software development, on the other hand, represents the manufacturing of software applications that may have unique busines logic (that hasn’t existed before).
Custom developed software systems allow for far greater flexibility with regards to the detail of customisation.
Creating a web application for orchestrating the workflow of your specific business and manufacturing a software product that is unique to your vision are great examples of what the yield of custom software development is.
How much time does is take to build a web system?
În general, the amount of effort that goes into the creation of a custom build software system depends on the number of features that are needed.
As a simple rule of thumb, we have created a simple T-Shirt size system for how much time it takes to develop certain systems:
- S –> Software systems that require a period of 1-3 months to reach the first releasable version
- M –> Software systems that require a period of 3-6 months to reach the first releasable version
- L –> Software systems that require a period of 6-12 months to reach the first releasable version
- XL –> Software systems that require a period of more than 12 months to reach the first releasable version
How is effort estimated for developing customized software solutions?
The way in which estimation is performed varies from company to company.
At abac, we make use of an estimation system that involves scoring software features using complexity points and then amounting these complexity points into a total.
By dividing this total against the number of complexity points that a particular team can develop in a certain perioad of time, we then find out the number of weeks needed in order to implement the software solution.
How much does a simple MVP web app cost?
Web application costs vary quite a lot depending on industry of use and purpose. În general, an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) version of an web app will cost you around 20.000$ – 30.000$.
