WNPL uses meticulous software engineering practices to help keep costs to be competitive through a host of techniques, technologies and best practices.
How WNPL provides cost-effective application development
To deliver quality software projects at a reasonable price, WNPL follows well-defined steps, project management practices and procedures, including some of the following:
-
Meticulous project management
Industry standard Project management techniques reduces waste and rework. By making sure that each part of a project is handled by a team member who has in-depth knowledge and experience in that area, the quality of the product and the total time for programming, testing and release of a module is reduced to save time and cost
-
Reusable libraries
Wherever appropriate, WNPL uses reusable libraries. This reduces the cost in addition to improving the overall stability and maintenance of the project. This also helps in reducing the time required for development, testing and release, there by further reducing the total cost
-
Proficiency in following guidelines
Our experience and technical strength in developing software for the back end cloud hosting and app stores (Apple App Store and Google Play Store) is proven by publishing many apps after passing through our own as well as Apple's and Google's stringent quality check. This has brought about a set of steps and procedures that allow us to reduce reputative tasks and strict exactly to guidelines for publishing so as to reduce cost, by not having to republish.
-
Development practices
We follow well established development practices in the industrial software development industry that help reduce cost. This includes use of reusable code, modules and libraries.
-
Alternative technologies
Our expertise in choosing the right technology, instead of going with the mainstream run-of-the-mill components, reduces the overall project cost. This also helps in easy maintenance and increase durability and usability of the project.
-
Progressive development
Where possible, we develop project using a 'progressive development' approach, where a simpler version of the project is released first. This allows quick release of the project and getting customer traction early on. This approach in certain projects help reduces the total cost and many cases reduces the initial cost to get customers started on the application.
-
Hidden costs removed for you
Building a project involves many steps – architecture, designing, programming, hosting, publishing, documentation, testing and support, just to a name a few. Most of them involve third parties and there are charges due to them. WNPL mentions all these in the quote presented to you. This makes sure there are no hidden costs and surprises.
-
Cloud Hosting, architecture
Hosting the project requires web servers in the cloud, which has to be setup in such a way that the hosting costs are minimum when the traffic to the project is low, while making sure that the architecture can handle heavy and fluctuating loads. Our network engineers and hosting experts create an architecture that is best suited for your project to ensure the lowest cost and best availability and durability.
-
Development with support in mind
WNPL develops projects with the view for supporting them. This reduces cost of support thus bringing down the total cost of the project.
-
Reducing Total Cost of ownership
In addition to the project costs, there are ongoing expenses that include support, training of users and staff, hosting, Apple app store and Google play store fees, etc. We make sure that these costs are reduced to a minimum by choosing and suggesting the most appropriate choice for your project.
