"Outsourced Bespoke Development" - Why there has never been a better time for it!

As Software Products and Software-as-a Service (SaaS) continue to grow in sophistication, companies in these difficult times are still having to do more with less so cost savings naturally is a high priority, and making that informed critical call to buy or custom build a software solution is where it all starts.

Partly due to the current financial crisis, outsourcing a custom solution is becoming appealing to both end user organisations as well Software Product and SaaS companies for many reasons.

These include:

• You are totally in control of the software, make changes when you like to accommodate the way you work as your business changes;
• The solution perfectly aligned with your business strategy and internal processes;
• Unique functionality/capabilities enable you to differentiate from the competition.

To meet the above needs, Augen's model of local engagement combined with offshore resources provides scalability and significantly lowers overall cost.  Progressively over the next several years, bespoke development is expected to become more and more dependent on lower cost offshore resources.

Augen has been a pioneer in the NZ custom software development sector since 1993. The company is a dedicated software services provider with over 450 successful projects under its belt, including custom/bespoke applications, SaaS products, client/server as well as web-based solutions, spanning from SME to large enterprise environments.
