Software Development

If you are looking for a software development partner, then look no further. Acism can provide a great service there.

We have successfully worked with a variety of customers, ranging from those who understand the software development area in-depth to those who do not. Some provide us the screen-by-screen details of how the software is going to be built, some others leave it completely for us to figure it out. In the later case, we take upon ourselves the responsibility of advising the customers of the options available, so as to choose the best one for the project.

Customer-friendly Technology

Have you chosen the technology for developing your software? Acism specializes in the use of Open Source tools and technologies, because of:

1. Maturity: Many open source offerings are mature and can be used in industrial strength applications.
2. Flexibility: Since the source code is available to the developers, they can tweak it if required.
3. Cost-effectiveness: Most open source tools and technologies are available either free of cost or at a very low cost. This drives down not only the development cost but also the deployment and long term maintenance cost.

The open source world is a sea, and it is easy for a newcomer to get lost. Acism's experience in the space works out to be the asset for the customer many times.

Customer-friendly Processes

Acism uses Agile Iterative process, in which incremental releases are released after each iteration, well-tested by dedicated testing team. This gives the customers:

1. Visibility: The project progress is seen and felt at every stage
2. Flexibility: Some degree of mid-way course correction is possible, owing to short feedback cycle.

Customer-friendly Billing

Acism typically gives the customers a choice between:

1. Time & Material: Pay at actuals for the effort expended (which could be higher or lower than estimation) at a pre-defined hourly rate, or any other expenses
2. Fixed Cost: Pay a lumpsome pre-defined fixed price, which does not change as long as the scope or any assumptions do not change
