Software Solutions

New Zealand Computing Solutions (NZCS) offer software solutions to meet your business needs, with both custom-developed software and Commercial Off-the-shelf software solutions available.



Custom Software – Database development & support

NZCS specialise in designing and developing bespoke SQL Server database solutions, for a wide range of clients. The associated "front end" software is generally programmed in either Codegear Delphi, C# or ASP .Net.



Pros

  • Custom software is designed for your business and works the way you work
  • Becomes a valuable asset to your business
  • More useful reports help you make astute business decisions
  • The NZCS help desk staff will have in-depth understanding your business
  • Software is generally created the way the users work rather than the way developers think users work, so it’s easy to use
  • Money is not wasted on unnecessary features
  • The underlying information is stored in a industry-standard database such as SQL Server


Cons

  • Generally costs more. Anything labour-intensive could be considerably more expensive than "canned" software.
  • Not immediately available – it takes time to develop the right solutions
  • You may be re-inventing the wheel



Commercial Software

Pros

NZCS is a Microsoft Small Business Specialist and Microsoft Partner. Our specialist computer consultants can help you find commercial software that will meet your business needs, and offer advice on software licensing.


  • Immediately available
  • May cost less
  • Don’t have to re-invent the wheel
  • Backed by a large company and can be well supported


Cons

  • Cannot add features that would make it work better for your business
  • Does not necessarily work the way you work, so work-arounds may be required
  • At the mercy of the manufacturer. The larger the user base the less control you have.
