Configuration
vs Development
08
CONFIGURATION —
FAST & LESS EFFORT
DEVELOPMENT —
WHEN IS IT RIGHT?
Configuration is when the standard software
variable settings are used to invoke the behavior
required. In all systems, there are variables and
parameters that influence the software. In most
cases the initial combination of settings set and
then tested may need some slight changes. In all
cases, the variables and parameters must to be
tested thoroughly to confirm they produce the
desired behavior which is budgeted in the project
estimate. If the desired behavior is not met or,
more likely, the requirements change, changing
the configuration may produce the required result.
Development is warranted when the standard
system programming code will not support a
unique requirement of your company. All CFBS
development is done by our in-house, US-based
development team allowing us to offer Rapid
Application Development (RAD). RAD consists
of prototyping and SCRUMS which allows you
more input and flexibility to shape the system
functionality to your needs. With development,
Project Management becomes even more crucial
to define and maintain a scope; otherwise, the
development may continue indefinitely.
