Rise of Custom Programing for Companies

While custom programming is not a new concept, it is still growing in popularity and necessity in the business world. Many companies have been building intranets and other custom solutions to their need for a long time and when one company does it, it doesn’t usually take long for other to catch on. Once one of them has taken advantage of an opportunity, the rest of the competitors in the industry quickly make the transition to keep up with the now evolving market. There are a few industries coming into this advancement and are moving fast.

Banking
Custom programming for banking has quickly become irreplaceable and necessary in the banking industry. Most of the money in America is no longer paper and coins. More than 90% percent of the money in America is now digital currency. Which means that if banking technology is not up to the top of its game, you are running into potential liabilities and dangers. The banking community knows this all too well and are doing everything they can to stay on top of it.

Product based businesses
Most any product-based business needs to keep careful track of their sku’s and inventory. There are many simple plug and play options now that simplify the situation significantly. Keeping in line which products are going where with each individual tracking number and set of specific instructions for each. This is an area just recently moving out of the dark ages of business. There are several stages, from being advertised, to being bought, fulfilled and shipped correctly.

Agriculture
This is an area that is getting a 21st century leap into the future as of late. Agriculture has historically been an archaic industry due to the fact that it can still be effective by someone in their yard. They have built many larger scale machines to do the work needed but they have recently begun investing in custom software which can track the needed water while still considering the rainfall in the area. Knowing how quickly the crop is growing exactly. Many agriculture conglomerates are wanting exact tracking so they can eliminate the guess work and working off of a “hunch” or “how it was last year”. Many are looking for very precise data that is generally hard to come by.
