Web Application Development

Bespoke software development can be a great enabler for any organisation wanting to make an improvement in one or multiple areas of their business.

Bespoke software can solve the problems that no off-the-shelf package can. Also it is inherently in a position to provide the optimum solution since it is designed for a specific company and a specific need.

At 3Squared we've been developing bespoke software apps for 10 years and have developed many custom applications for our clients, each of which has made a big improvement in the business process it was aimed at.

Advantages of bespoke software apps

    A bespoke software application, written to meet your specific requirements, offers many advantages over standard off-the-shelf software:
    It is specifically designed for your business and can be tailored to fit exactly with your operation.
    It can be customised to interface with your other software, offering the potential to create a fully integrated IT infrastructure across your whole organisation.
    Because the software is finely tuned to your specific needs, it can provide you with performance benefits that are just not feasible with packaged software.
    Users will usually find it easier and more intuitive to use as it should not contain unnecessary or superfluous facilities and should operate in the way that they are used to working.
    It can incorporate business processes that are specific to you and which do not exist in any packaged solution.
    It is much more flexible than packaged software and can be modified and changed over time as your requirements and business practices change.
    The use of professionally-developed bespoke software applications can give you a significant business advantage over your competition.  

    Most of the bespoke software applications developed by 3Squared are delivered and accessed via the common web browser. Application delivery has never been easier thanks to the Internet. It’s now possible to deliver functionally rich applications via the web that until recently was only possible with desktop-based software.

    Accessing an application through a browser is perfect for situations where multiple users are required to access the software from different locations.

    Larger organisations are already delivering applications via the Internet such as Google Docs, Apple Mobile Me and Microsoft Office, and now many businesses are looking to do the same with their internal software.

    Development Environment

    3Squared uses Microsoft Visual Studio Team System which is a comprehensive suite of tools designed to assist developers in the creation of innovative, next-generation applications.

    In addition our app developers use the programming language C# which is one of the fastest growing development languages in the world today. It powers some of the world's largest web sites and most demanding applications for customers - such as DELL Computers, Merrill Lynch, London Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and USA Today to name a few.

    For databases and information storage we prefer to use SQL Server which is a comprehensive database platform, providing enterprise-class data management combined with integrated business intelligence (BI) tools.

    Our app developers use Microsoft SQL Server also integrates into the Microsoft Visual Studio Team System, providing us with a truly streamlined development environment.

    Application and website hosting

    When developing software apps for businesses we understand that availability and uptime are important factors, and that’s why we’ve partnered with two of the best hosting providers in the world.

    Rackspace is one of the world’s top application and website hosting companies. They provide 3Squared with a number of dedicated servers that we then use to host our clients' applications and websites.

    The Windows Azure platform is a flexible cloud hosting solution that allows us to adapt hosting requirements as demand for the application grows, providing our clients and app developers with the ultimate in scalability.
