How we do it...

1. Analyze your business's requirements for the software
We will work with you to determine the exact requirements for your software.  If you have already started to document what you want the software to do, we will use that material and move forward on the project from your preliminary work.

2. Design and architect the solution for you
We will discuss your expected business growth, what technology you already own, how your business might evolve in the future, and your budget as we go over alternatives with you. The solution will address how the custom software will affect your computers, your network, your databases, and any other programs that you use.

3. Code your software programs
We will review coding alternatives with you.  DMS Solutions typically creates the software in the most popular computer languages such as C, C++, Java, Visual Basic, and HTML. We also use SQL and XML.  These technologies are affordable to small businesses, and they will continue to work as your company grows.

4. Test the software with your business using it
It is important to test the software before releasing it.  Although our programmers test it after they program the code, it is also a standard practice for you to try out the software as well.  We will do a trial run to ensure that it meets the contract requirements so that it runs on your systems and works just as you expected.

5. Document how the software works for you and your users
We provide you with full documentation of our development process.  The problem with unsatisfactory documentation is that if you need to modify your software in the future, it will take more time to read through the code to figure out how it works in order to modify it.  DMS Solutions knows it is critical that we provide you with satisfactory documentation.

6. Install a final version of the software on all your computers
We offer a 6 month warranty on every software piece delivered.  By the time that we install the software on all of your business computers, you will have a complete, fully tested, documented, working piece of software.

Security and intellectual rights
We exercise a very high level of discretion in regard to your business operations and your trade secrets. And, of course, we will back that up in writing. Since we are a US company that maintains its assets in the US, your intellectual property rights are fully protected under US law.
