SoftwareMaker.Net - Software Solutions For Tomorrow Today

Softwaremaker.Net is a software company that provides customized software solutions for small businesses that have neither the manpower nor the expertise to develop their own software systems. These small companies also do not believe in paying through their noses for an enterprise-level software system which they only need to use a small fraction of. Imagine buying a top-notch sports car like a Ferrari just to go to the neighbourhood grocery store. The fuel you need to burn to drive the car to the grocery store will probably wipe out your budget for the whole week!!!

We believe that the one-software-system-fits-all logic can only apply to certain parts or sectors of small companies. Ultimately, companies that fit in the above range will have to look to customized software solutions to satisfy their growing business transactions and needs. And that's where we come in. We, at Softwaremaker.Net, believe in forging long-term relationship with our clients. (Read about our philosophy here ) We tend to take a more pragmatic and realistic view of the bigger picture - We realized that most of the time, companies with poorly-designed software systems spend 3-5 times more time, effort and money maintaining them compared to buying them. All this wastage amounts to loss in productivity which should have been redirected to their domain business in the first place, thereby flouting the rule of economies of scale.

We believe that problems of any kind should be left in the hands of those who knows best and better yet, prevent them from occurring in the first place by learning from those who have failed. Therefore, before providing software solutions to these small companies, we find out what their short to long terms goals are. It is only from there that we can provide them the software systems that will run in tandem with the visions and projections of their company.

We know that disparity of the different software systems and platforms have caused nightmarish problems for many. While the big software vendors are busy fighting each other for market share, everyone else is fighting just to make sure all their different systems integrate and work well together. After specializing in both standalone and client-server architecture for long, we are gradually moving towards browser-server architecture to eliminate tedious deployment and integration problems. This is to keep up with the changing priorities of 3 of our 6 rules of software systems namely extensibility, scalability and availability. Those 3 rules mean that a good quality software system should be able to integrate with or into other systems (extensibility), should be able to move into a larger or more demanding environment (scalability) and should be reached from the most locations possible and during the greatest possible amount of time (availability) . In short, we think the interface to all future software systems will be your lightweight web browser. Theoretically speaking, this means future systems can run anywhere on anything that supports a browser. Our strategy of this vision will hinge very much on the success of web applications, web services and the strict standardization of the systems protocols and the extensible markup languages.

Companies should not spend too much resources maintaining poorly-designed and poorly-executed systems that break down when moved to a different or a more demanding environment. We concentrate our main domain expertise is in creating bespoke or customized software for small and medium-sized companies. These companies levarage on our consultants and developers' expertise to help them create systems which suits their business functions and purposes. We have helped them get online for added business revenues, helped them re-design and re-develop their backoffice operations, but most importantly what we have done and helped the most is re-designed and automated most of their business work processes and backoffice or backroom operations. In other words, we will take care of the unglamorous administrative side of businesses. These mundane and administrative details that businesses spend too much of their company's resources on usually does NOTgenerate enough returns-on-investment (ROI) for them. Therefore, we believe that we can help businesses and companies grow and gain in productivity by taking care of their unglamorous backoffice and backroom operations, thereby allowing them to freely deploy most of their resources in their areas of productivity

We have developed and sold quite a few standalone-based and web-based applications. There are a few Freeware and Shareware (of which, we have sold a few) that we have developed which you might want to look at. We have also developed customized (bespoke) software developement jobs (be it Client-Server or Web-Based applications for many medium and small scale businesses and companies. The companies and businesses that we have helped have benefitted tremendously from us mostly in the area of cost-cuttings and in the area of economies of scale. In fact, most of our businesses are word-of-mouth referrals from existing customers that have the utmost confidence in us and our work.

Softwaremaker.Net believes strongly in forging long-term relationships with our clients (Read about our philosophy here ). We believe that clients will only come back to us if they believe in us and not because they are being forced to. In doing so, we build software solutions that will scale and grow with your company or business. Therefore, we are a believer of standards. Only by conforming to world-wide standards will software systems thrive in the ever-changing and ever-demanding environments. We like to build software systems around these world-wide standards to ensure that the solutions we deliver can meet the long-term needs of our clients. Realistically, as clients' businesses grow, so too will their business objectives and needs. We try to make sure that the software systems we provide will be able to integrate and operate as seamlessly as possible as your businesses grow. By doing so, we keep the costs of integration and maintenance low for our clients.

In looking ahead, we are moving gradually towards the thin-client software solution architecture and effectively packing in world-wide standards into our solutions. Technically speaking, solutions we design and develop are MarkUp Language-centric. XML is the key here as other standard protocols build on it (SOAP, UDDI, WSDL WAP, WML, Web Services, etc). We are a strong believer in Web Services as they promise the idea of inter-operability and have chosen the Microsoft .NET platform to develop our web applications and web services-centric solution systems for our clients.
