Ideal Custom Software, LLC has wide-ranging experience designing websites, developing software and migrating legacy applications to modern architectures. In a world of nearly endless web shops and software development firms, Ideal creates a uniqueness in the marketplace by attacking projects with a keen sense of efficiency.
At Ideal, we believe that in order for a project to be worthwhile, it must meet the
client's requirements exactly and also be cost-effective. On smaller projects, requirements tend to creep into the project as the software evolves because the client can now visualize the application. Increased requirements typically produce increased costs. To beat this seemingly certain Catch-22, Ideal utilizes a rapid prototyping development methodology, which fine tunes the requirements before extensive programming is undertaken.
See our Approach page for details on rapid prototyping.
Ideal has experience in a variety of domains such as finance, healthcare, government, ecommerce, RFID and mobile solutions, but our real expertise is understanding the dynamics of small to medium size businesses (10 - 400 personnel). Having expert programming resources is only part of the equation needed to succeed in businesses of this size. Real success also requires a solid foundation of business process engineering. Starting from this vantage point, Ideal ensures that the application you need is produced at a price that fits your business.
In the Beginning
Ideal started as SMS in 1994 and that year we built our first website. Web technologies were not yet born, so C+ was our main development platform. Within a few years, java hit but it still took several years before the market accepted web based applications. Today, java, .Net and PHP rule the custom software universe, thus custom software is available to almost anyone.
