CHI SOFTWARE

Creation, coding and development of software for business applications and mobile apps; providing technology solutions and consultancy services to assist application development.

Application development can use Waterfall or Agile methodologies.

Core to the Agile methodology, is DevOps where the Software Development and Live Business Environment Operations teams are joined, rather than being siloed, and where there is continuous deployment of updates, and automated software testing.

Application development is also referred to as custom software development.

The application development process includes
- a discovery phase
- confirmation of high level functionality
- estimation of development costs
- design of the UI / User Interface aka GUI / Graphical User Interface or the front end of an application
- design and architecture of the back end of the application
- specification of the technology stack
- ensuring best security standards and practices
- development of the prototype
- testing
- release to production, often as an MVP / Minimum Viable Product

Application development

Creating and selling computer software: whether for on premise, hybrid cloud, or cloud; whether created for commercial enterprises, not for profit, or for retail customers;  whether designed to run on a computer, a mobile device, a server, or cloud provisioned virtual hardware.

Computer software categories include:

- bespoke software designed for your needs: be it an app for your new start-up, a new website or an enterprise application for your business
- commercial off the shelf software (COTS) designed to be best in class for a specific business need or function.
- SAAS - software as a service - running from the cloud.  You don't need to do anything to support the software, you simply subscribe to the service.
- OS - operating software - the software that keeps your computer hardware, or indeed cloud hardware operating as it should
- PAAS - software that supports platform as a service - you don't need to look after the hardware, or the patching, or the provisioning, this is all done for you
- SASE - pronounced SASSY - the new software that 'virtualises' all the hardware and connectivity - so you never need to buy or look after a firewall again

Standard core business software application types include ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), MRP (Manufacturing Requirements Planning), CRM (Customer Relationship Management), Finance, Accounting, and HR - furthermore each business sector will have specific application types.

Core consumer software categories include gaming, gambling and social media as examples, but the total range of consumer software categories is vast.

The scope, function, and role of software applications is going through a generational change with the power of AI technologies.

Software

Web development services and technology to design, create, and manage websites, so that they deliver for your business, and perform well. 

Designing websites and website applications with strong UIs (user interface) and UXs (user experience) so that they are easy to use, appealing to look at, and well structured from a logical and business perspective.

And then, beyond the design and the function, there is the performance.  It is vital that a website is responsive and fast: this is a function of the hosting, the architected design, and the technologies and languages chosen to build it with.  If the website has business functions, then reliability and accuracy is mandatory.  Integrity of data is ensured by adhering to ACID design principles.

Finally there is the key element of security.  Websites need to be built in alignment with OWASP, and developer teams should have a "security first" approach to design, with assigned AppSec responsibilities.

Website Development and Support

IT is the world of Information Technology, and covers everything to to with computer hardware, computer software, information stored on computers, whether in the cloud, or on premise in your own data centre.

IT includes storing, processing, creating or changing data on a computer system - from managing your company accounts, to running your company factory, to creating amazing films, music, art and literature.

IT is at the heart of our world - with applications getting easier and faster to use, and doing more and more for us.

From smart fridges, to smart houses to smart cities - the beauty of efficiency and automation, versus the worries over data privacy, camera surveillance, and govt needs to know, versus an individual's right to privacy.

From cyber currency to cyber crime, from information clarity to online manipulation, troll farms, the dark web, and cyber crime.

This is all the area of IT.

We solve technological challenges with high-end innovations and in-depth consultancy. Our team is the one to cover your project from a vision to delivery.
