As the cost of hardware falls, the cost of software rises. Like any other product, the unit cost of a piece of a software falls only when the number of shipped units rises. How many lines of code do you think are in Microsoft® Word®? If it was a piece of bespoke software for a publishing house, how much do you think it would cost?

It's important to define "Bespoke Software". Sure it can mean applications. But it could also mean middleware - those intangible pieces of code that make disparate pieces of your IT infrastructure talk to each other. Perhaps you want to web-enable a legacy application for your company intranet? Perhaps you want to automate an existing manual process? Where does systems integration end and bespoke development begin?

Therein lies the problem for a lot of IT departments. Sometimes only such bespoke software will do. And bespoke software is expensive to create and expensive to maintain. If the required skills are not available in house, what do you do? Hire contractors? Possibly, but when they leave they take their skills with them. How are you going to maintain the software after they've gone?

Outsourcing your bespoke development to Trinem is much more cost-efficient. Our consultants are highly skilled in all major development languages, operating systems, methods and databases. When the software is complete you can arrange for Trinem to support it - removing the worry and hassle of maintaining the code yourself.
