There are three ways to approach the creation of a new system?
February 8th, 2010Develop a custom application in house
Buy a packaged system and customise it
Rely on external party to build it
Describe each of these three design choices and suggest what criteria should be used when making a selection.
When you create a new system there things you need to take into considerations, importantly the users of your system since all your design and UI’s will be based off of that.
Here are the three things I can offer:
1. Research about the system you’re trying to create if it’s already existing, that way you save time in creating functionalities, many of the application systems now have open-source version you might want to look at these first since it’s free.
2. Find out any API’s available to extend that existing system other wise you may have to build your own.
3 Design is most important (not the appearance) but the user experience, the simpler it is for user the better system it is. Then you can modify and enhance cosmetics as you go along.
Is there any particular system you’re trying to build?
Hope this helps
