Software Development
Talman builds custom database applications large or small, whether they be simple account management systems or comprehensive fully featured sales and quoting tools linked to real time online store web sites. Our experience extends from small business to large enterprise systems with up to 100 users.

Why custom software?

Simply put, because a shrink-wrapped version of what you require doesn't exist. If it did, you'd be ill-advised to pay the extra bucks getting us to write it again. Actually we wouldn't do that - we'd just point you in the right direction (eg we've had clients ask us to develop them accounting systems. We've helped them define their requirements and then narrow down the list from the hundreds available until they found what they needed).

However, if you require specialised modules for making your business run smoothly then that's where we can help out. We've been developing custom software solutions for over 30 years, and in every case the needs of the client have been different.

We develop desktop database systems for all user's needs, whether they be simple account management systems up to comprehensive fully featured sales and quoting tools linked to real time online store web sites.

At Talman our developers 'love to code'. Every project is a challenge to do better. That's one of the reasons we get so much repeat business. Another is because we offer the full package. We combine the software development with hardware sourcing, network installation, web add-ons, whatever you need - all at one place.

We have a sensible approach to project managing our developments and deciding on the technology we use. Read more here

Benefits of custom software development

There are a number of reasons why custom software development can be a better solution for your business than purchasing an off-the-shelf product.

Functionality
Every successful company builds a suite of processes and systems tailored to their business flow. Part of streamlining any good system is to provide the tools to allow staff to easily and accurately follow the system. If an off-the-shelf product gets in the way of your business's systems then it is costing you money in lost productivity and staff disgruntlement. Custom software development is the ideal way to overcome these frustrations.

Ongoing enhancement
Another benefit of custom software is that it can be easily enhanced as your business model grows. Having developed the system to meet your company's needs initially, any changes and enhancements are easily factored in.

Interface to existing back-end systems
Enterprise systems usually require interfacing into existing back-end data stores or work flow systems. Custom software development includes these interface requirements in the design process. This ensures that the software system deployed is useful in the overall 'big picture' of your company.

Intellectual property
In most cases of development Talman is happy to provide the customer with the intellectual property rights to the software. This ensures that the design of your functionality and processes is protected. This is increasingly becoming a key decision point in software purchase by corporates.

Support
Immediate help desk and programmer support is available with all Talman custom software developments. Enhancements and bug fixes are resolved quickly (urgent bugs within 24 hours). Help desk support includes talking to a knowledgeable person, as well as email support and online forums. There are no IVR systems at Talman. When you call you speak to a person.
