Custom system and network software development
|
Introduction
|
Many companies are beginning to experience that off-the-shelf
software is a suboptimal solution, and others are struggling
with unwieldy collections of organically grown scripts and
small helper applications.
A consolidated, custom solution from Network Signature will
invariably offer one or more of the following benefits:
- Low cost. By targeting your exact needs and not
paying for unnecessary features, your money is
spent exactly where needed.
- No licence issues. The software is yours, forever,
and you can do with it exactly what you want.
- No trappings. All software is fully documented,
and any competent system level developer will be
able to add features in the future.
- Guaranteed results. All software comes with
a no-nonsense warranty against defects.
- Complete transparency. Network Signature's
development process ensures there are no
hidden extras.
- High performance. A finely tuned custom application
will require system resources on the
level of a few percent of an off-the-shelf
package. This means long hardware
lifetime, immense scalability, and excellent
growth potential.
- Better functionality. It is usually possible
to implement functionality
and solutions that would otherwise be unattainable
using standard software. In fact, one of the
inspirations for Network Signature's core product,
BENTO, was that we were repeatedly told
"What you want cannot be done".
Network Signature's expertise covers a wide area of system
level software. Particular specialisations include
- protocols and inter-process communication
- compilers, interpreters, and general language technology
- distributed computing and client-server architectures
- high performance complex data gathering and analysis
- very high performance database alternatives
- embedded, real-time, device driver, and other hardware-near software
- optimised implementations of general algorithms
All software is developed in K&R C, ANSI C, or C++ in
accordance with customer requirements, optionally with
strict adherence to POSIX, ANSI, X/OPEN, or other standards,
and will be portable to any common UNIX flavour system.

Process
|
Software development is often seen as a poorly defined
process, with a somewhat haphazard outcome.
Network Signature doesn't subscribe to this notion of
"black magic". While it is true that software is generally
the most complex thing man has invented, there is no excuse
for not following common industrial practices.
Network Signature's Seven Step
approach to succesful software development
allows clients to know exactly
where their project is and how it's progressing.

Warranty
|
All algorithms, software, and other work developed by
Network Signature come with a no-nonsense warranty
against defects.
In the event a malfunction which is attributable to
defects in the work carried out by Network Signature
is discovered, Network Signature will remedy the defect
free of charge. Period. It really is that simple, and
there is no reason why it should be different.
|
Cost
|
All development projects are generally offered on a
fixed price basis, including warranty.
This takes the guesswork out of the entire
process, and protects clients against the familiar
spiraling costs of software development projects.
It also passes the responsibility for overall project
coherence and feasibility to Network Signature.
And it's cheaper than you think.
